Practice Organ

My first interest in organ building was the manufacture of new organs, hence my move to Northampton in 2000 to work for Ken Tickell.

This two manual mechanical action organ, currently under construction in the workshop, is designed to cover all the basic requirements of a small practice instrument while also remaining as simple as possible to manufacture. Most parts are made in-house.

The organ is due for completion in Summer 2025.
