In the latter half of 1999 our major project was the restoration and development of this 1900 George Sandford organ made in Sydenham, Christchurch.
This 2 manual and pedal mechanical action organ was hand pumped for many years, as Kaikoura was not connected to the national grid until the early 1950’s. Sandford set up a short-lived business in the suburb of Enmore, in Sydney, NSW, specializing in pipe-making, voicing and tuning. The Kaikoura pipes are of his own manufacture.
