Notes

2008-09-29 - Identified through information in *The Windline*, Summer 2008. "... a new organ, using as much of the pipework from the Hook organ as possible. ... Our approach was to build the new organ in the style of the venerable Hook company. The Mixture is light, but makes a statement, while the Trumpet is incisive and makes a bold statement without being overbearing. The Oboe is typical of E & GG Hook: Trumpet-like in the treble, and dark in the bass. The strings, however, are classically Austin, i.e., warm and broad. The ensemble is clear and full, with excellent blending qualities." -Database Manager
