Organ Rebuilding Appeal 2010 Our 1925 George Fincham & Sons pipe organ is now 85 years old and its last major overhaul occurred over 20 years ago when it was moved from Goulburn to its present location at City Church.
The main pneumatic operating mechanism now needs to be replaced together with other general maintenance to allow the organ to function reliably, well into the future. As part of this overhaul the main control mechanism will be changed from fully pneumatic to electro-pneumatic .
We are advised that the rebuild will result in a remarkable improvement to the overall sound of the instrument through re-voicing of the pipes and tonal refinishing of the instrument. The worn and sluggish 85 year old action will be replaced with a new modern mechanism. This will not only make the organ more manageable for organists, but also produce an exciting voice for leading worship singing, as well as being more viable for use as a recital instrument.
We are seeking donations to enable the work to proceed as soon as possible
