The woodwork of the console has been improved
by a talented restorer, Hugh Brock.
Together with the terraced stop jambs, the
console will suit the style of the instrument.


The detail is not good enough to see the
improvement it its full glory. The lower picture shows the Gern plate
above the keyboards, above is a detail to the restoration.
The new console is placed in the frame of
the original Gregorian Organ. Recently some information has come to light
regarding that instrument, and one of them in original condition has been
located. It has to be said that the description of the tone was not altogether
complimentary, but it needs to be remembered that it was a pioneering
instrument. More information may be forthcoming.
