The Stop'd Diapason and Flute are copies of examples found in late 17th century chamber organs. The Regal is based on an early 17th century South German example in the Victoria & Albert Museum. The case is made of painted pine.

The compass is C- d³, with four available pitches.
The pipes have tuning slides, for different pitches and tuning systems.

The case front is a dummy based on the Galpin organ at the East end of Canterbury Cathedral. There is a foot pedal for raising wind, as well as a separate blower.
