A Chamber Organ for Leeds University Music Department


The organ was made in the summer of 2003. It is based on the ca1760 chamber organs of Thomas Parker, who learnt his organbuilding from Richard Bridge, and made the organ for Charles Jennens, now at Great Packington.

The organ has an oak case, in two halves, on wheels, and with an internal electric blower.
