Do you know who the active English builders are?
Hi Arvin B,
If you look at the post I made here http://www.magle.dk/music-forums/4261-organ-builders.html about English organ builders, you might be able to get some info, although I've only listed the builders I know once built instruments for my country (a former British colony), and most of them appear to still be in existence since the 19th century. Those are the old firms (though obviously not all the old firms). There must be several other smaller ones that are operating in England, although I know of a few organists at Cathedrals in Britain and they are none too happy about the declining interest in the instrument, given the high costs of building new ones. Convenience over quality seems the order of the day, even though these new electrics will probably sound dated after a decade or two.
