    Beautiful church and organ.

    Can you fill us in with some details about this instrument?

    It's a small-ish (not too small, but not too big) Baroque Style Tracker Action, built in 1978, and recently renovated (with about NZ$100,000 spent on it). It has a fairly short action, and the stoplist, (as far as I can remember) is:
    Hauptwerk

    Quintation 16

    Principal 8

    Rohrflute 8

    Octave 4

    Flachflute 2

    Sesquialtera II

    Mixture V

    Trompette 8

    Brustwerk

    Gedeckt 8

    Hohlflute 4

    a 2 foot flute, can't remember exactly

    Mixture IV

    Krummhorn 8

    Pedal

    Subbass 16

    Gedeckt 8

    Choral Bass 4

    Fagot 16

    Couplers

    Brustwerk to Hauptwerk

    Brustwerk to Pedal

    Hauptwerk to Pedal

    Pistons

    3 Divisionals on each Division

    Tutti

    Cancel

    Reversible Brustwerk to Hauptwerk and Hauptwerk to Pedal

    Reversible Toe pistons for Hauptwerk to Pedal and Brustwerk to pedal.

    Other

    Switch for Hauptwerk - Pedal Pistons



    I hope to be able to play this organ again, and I may apply for a scholarship which includes Lessons from the Incumbent Organist, and regular opportunities to play it. Next time I am there, I will take some more photos, especially of the console.

    Thanks for the listing, Bagnew

    Nice well rounded specification ... from the pics looks like the acoustics are fairly decent, too.

    Ahh, to have divisional pistons ... I have 4 generals on my church Möller pipe.
