RANK OF ORGANPIPES; 2-RANK MIXTURE
Good quality pipework from a redundant Anglican Church in Greater Manchester. The Organ was built 1889 by ERNEST WADSWORTH, a well-reputed Manchester builder.This is good quality pipework, in lovely condition and all pipes have tuning slides. Although the church has been closed 10 years, you can tell that the whole organ was restored in the 1986, hence its relative cleanness and undamaged condition. Compass is 56 notes (CC to top G) so there are 112 pipes.
This was situated on the SWELL organ. You might guess this from its breaks; the bottom 24 are 19-22, then from Middle C upwards the rank becomes 12-15.
(Personally I would have preferred it to have been 15-19 through the middle octave; it may be that we can re-group it and find some extra pipes to match – I’m open to discussion. I think however it is likely that this one was voiced for use with an octave coupler, so you still get your 19-22!)I have photographed this stop in situ, on its chest in the organ. I hope the photos do justice to it. Don’t be confused that rank A and Rank B reverse every other note on the soundboard, which makes the progression look strange!
The wind pressure appears to be about 3 inches wg.
The stop came from a Greater Manchester church, which became redundant some years ago. My details are on the final photo – do call if you have questions. Collection in person is much the best way of getting these, as small pipes are quite fragile. However a mixture is small enough to pack well in a crate. Carriage will then cost about 30
