Firstly, a daughter for Simon and Hannah Tipping – congratulations and best wishes to all the family! Simon is one of our team of organ builders from M C Thompson Organ Builders Limited.

Secondly, more remade/refurbished parts arrived today, and the remaining flue pipes were fitted into the Pedal divisions.  We now have the windchest for the Swell Celeste and the new and the refurbished pipes for the Swell 16′ Bassoon and the 8′ Cornopean.  All the Swell pipework is now finished, on site, and, if not already fitted, ready to be installed.

In addition the refurbished Trumpet and Clarion pipes from the original All Souls organ have arrived, ready to be installed in the new Great division together with the pipes of the Great Twelfth stop, a number of small wind chests that have been built for the Great and Pedal divisions over the last few weeks and the remaining refurbished resonators for the Pedal 16′ Trombone.

Work is continuing in the workshop until next week, when the next round of on-site construction work begins.
