Birmingham – Creating the next generation of organists!
Silbermann organ from the Marienkirche, Rötha
  • Silbermann organ
The Marienkirche Rötha has a single-manual organ by the famous Central German organ builder Gottfried Silbermann dating from 1722. The baroque instrument has 11 stops and is ideally suited for performing the music of Johann Sebastian Bach and his contemporaries.
  • Nicholson organ
The historic organ case, dating from 1715, houses an English-Romantic organ made by Nicholson in 1890. Among the 62 stops, which are controlled from a console with four manuals and pedal, are the two solo reeds Trompeta Real 8′ and Tuba minor 8′.

J. W. Walker & Sons Ltd organ in Wolverhampton, St. Peter’s Collegiate Church & St. Paul’s Cathedral, Willis company organ in London, UK

J. W. Walker & Sons Ltd organ

In 1954, the renowned company, J. W. Walker & Sons Ltd. from Ruislip, delivered the present organ to the London Oratory Church. Despite the fact that the actions were still electropneumatic, the tonal conception of the total of 45 stops is already strongly oriented towards the influences of the North German organ movement. The organ prospect also takes up baroque forms, but is somewhat hidden in a low side gallery of the church.



Willis company organ

The core of the mighty organ in St. Paul’s Cathedral was built in 1872 by the great Willis company. Exactly one hundred years later, from 1972 to 1977, the instrument was extensively rebuilt and extended to its present state by the Mander company. The instrument is distributed over a total of four locations in the space of the mighty cathedral: The largest part of the organ is the so-called Chancel division and is located on both sides of the chancel. The powerful trumpet battery, called the “Royal Trumpet”, is also located here, and its powerful sound, when placed horizontally, can solemnly drown out even the plenum of the organ.
