Wyvern drawstop organ with 32 speaking stops, 2 manuals and 32 note pedalboard. Piston system for drawstops. Large external speakers included. 3 memory levels for pistons. Roller top cover. Mahogany style case.
I bought this organ to cover our pipe organ being repaired for 4 months and it did the job wonderfully. Straight from the moment it went in, it led services perfectly, many different occasions such as Eucharist, choral evensong, funerals, and weddings. Our church is renowned for high quality choral music and so we needed an organ that would cover the services with conviction and reliability whilst the main organ was out of action. We now have finished the repair of the main organ and so this instrument needs a good home.
The keys are a really nice weight, not flimsy and light but heavy enough to feel you are being supported. It’s a very positive action that makes you feel like you are getting something back. Immediate sound also cleans up your touch! In my time playing it at church I felt it really showed me some of the bad habits I’d got into and was able to fix them.
The listing also includes huge speakers that will fill any church with sound. There’s 2 main speakers and a big sub woofer bass speaker. They really are powerful…I only used one of the main speakers and the sub in my church because even that filled the building, and we have a church with 400 seats!
The bass is fantastic!! The floor vibrated with the 16′ Principal. Most of the time the 16′ bourdon was enough, and I love my bass. There is scope to voice the speakers for the building. This is done with the controls inside the organ case on the amplifiers themselves.
32 note pedalboard and swell pedal. Nice scope on the swell pedal gives you a huge dynamic range.
Bench with music storage.
Bad points –
1. The dulciana stop head has come off on the great. I have the stop head, it just needs attaching again. (I can honestly say I didn’t miss it!)
2. A few of the great stops (I think it’s just the trumpet and mixture) don’t come out with the pistons but I think it’s just a jumper wire that came off in transit when I bought it, but I’ll have a look I’m pretty sure I can fix it. Again, I didn’t really feel this had any impact on the organ as the swell reeds are so punchy and you could just pull these two stops out by hand when tutti is needed. I actually hardly ever used these two stops anyway because you have so much volume before you even get to them!
Here are some audio clips of the organ

There are 4 clips to try and demonstrate the scope of the organ:
Swell celeste improv
Sw celeste and flute with Gt 8′ flute Improv
Swell Geigen Diapason 8′ + Geigen principal 4′
Tutti org – Hymn
Collection only. The organ is stored in my garage at the moment so access is easy. I’d be very happy to help load this into a van if necessary. I have loaded and transported this organ on my own twice now so with 2 people it will be no problem.
