Rebuilt Tudor Organ in Yorkshire

[handsoff]

I have been sent this link to a newspaper article. Although short on detail and full of irritating advertisements the article might be of interest.

This is a very interesting instrument.  We had it in Bradford Cathedral back in 2014 for the Bradford Organists' Association Centenary.  I got to play it a couple of times - a fascinating experience.  Details of the organ on NPOR at E00205.  Info on the other Early English  Organ Project organ are at E00491.  G7G built another example which, if memory serves, is in a museum in Wales.  You learn a lot about music of the period from playing these instruments.

 

Every Blessing

Thank you Tony, It looks to be a really fascinating instrument and I'm sure it will be appear in an online video soon.

G&G's website has pictures and recordings:  

Wingfield Organ New Organ in Tudor Style - Goetze & Gwynn (goetzegwynn.co.uk)

Wetheringsett Organ New Organ in Tudor Style - Goetze & Gwynn (goetzegwynn.co.uk)

Hope these links are of use / interest.  I played them about 15 years ago when they were in Fotheringhay.  Great fun was had.

Thank you for posting these links. I'll sit down later and have a good browse.

The last couple of times I've been to Ludlow, the Wetheringsett organ was in the big church there.

Would be good if one of them came to Bristol Cathedral: if I got wind (pun not intended) of either instrument being in situ here I would be along to hear it at the first chance I got.
