St Andrew’s, Shifnal (2020)
2 manuals 30 stops
The organ was originally built in 1811 by GP England on mechanical action. The fine Mahogany case and ten ranks of pipes survive today. A major rebuild of 1893 was undertaken by Abbott & Smith of Leeds. To all intents and purposes the instrument is now an A&S organ.
In the rebuild of 1973, by Hawkins of Walsall, the instrument was reduced in size from three manuals to two, the action was converted to electro-pneumatic, and the specification was amended to introduce the Tierce and Larigot.
During our latest 2020 rebuild we have replaced the sluggish Swell and Great electro-pneumatic actions with direct pallet magnets (Heuss). A new processor system has been fitted and new drawstop and slider solenoids have replaced the mechanical drawstop action, providing a comprehensive multi-channel piston action.
The case was cleaned and restored.
