Updated through online information from Cliff Greet. -- Op 387 was installed in 1902 and is still a mechanical action instrument. The original facade pipes were replaced by Whitehouse Bros (Brisbane) in 1927, when the new church was built. One can assume that the original pipes were either lost or damaged prior to the 1927 installation. Although Whitehouse replaced the facade (speaking pipes) they were probably made by Palmer of London as Whitehouse never built metal pipes. An electric secondary division was added in 1963 by Charles Dirksen Organ Co. This is separate and switchable as to remove it from the organ's normal action. Investigations reveal that it is not a swell but just a switchable addition to the instrument. My information suggests that the original spec was 2/9 and that seven stops are in the electric secondary division. The organ is in excellent condition and is used for Sunday worship and other events. This information is from personal experience and from "Historic Organs of New South Wales" by Graeme D Rushworth.
