On Saturday 27th I had the great delight of giving an afternoon recital on the very fine instrument in St Giles – a handsome church in Lincoln. The case and much pipework survives from the H.C. Lincoln organ of 1795, with some Swell pipework by Fr. Willis and later work – fine reeds, an elegant mahogany console and responsive tubular-pneumatic action – by Cousans of Lincoln.
Lewis Paul and Chris Hind have recently cleaned the Great, releathering the various complex layers of pneumatics. All now sound bright once again and works perfectly. A treat to perform there.
