1911 Organ

In 1911 Messrs. Scovell & Co. of Edinburgh were commissioned to build a four manual and pedal instrument. This was to incorporate some of the flue work and the case from the former organ. It is known from reports that the tone of this new organ was distinctly warm and cohesive. The Swell chorus reeds possessed considerable splash and drive and the downward extension of the Pedal Open Wood to 32″ added considerable grandeur to the ensemble.
