2024-07-22 - From the 'Music' page of the Cathedral website, "In 1959, the firms of Wm Hill & Son and Norman & Beard were called upon for a new restoration. Apart from a new console, the only work done was on the pipework. The instrument has not been not enlarged except at the pedal, where stop unification is used even more, calling for adding portions of stops. The firms commented on the work as follows: 'External appearances remain unchanged and give no hint of the extensive changes within. The robust material of the original instrument has been meticulously restored to form a fine foundation for an imaginative and complete total remodelling.” (Hill, Norman & Beard, organ builders).'
