This has been an intensely challenging but artistically rewarding restoration project for us. The organ was rescued from the redundant Scots Assembly Hall in Sydney and has just been restored and reconstructed in association with PDG Jewkes Pty Ltd of Sydney who were responsible for the console, 32’ pipes and CAD draughting.
The fine new case was designed by Garry Martin and Associates and consultant John Maidment and has strong neo Gothic references. The organ chamber built for the previous organ in the 1950’s has been redesigned to suit the new organ and re-clad in neo-gothic style to complement the Hall’s architecture. It was not enlarged although the new organ is twice the size of its predecessor, so every centimetre counted in designing the layout, which could not be finalised until the new case design was completed at a late stage of the project.
The Choir division is in the lower chamber formerly housing the blower and speaks into the Hall through new grilled openings in the wall. The new blower is housed under the stage and ducted underground and ascends inside a false buttress in the organ chamber wall. The new drawstop console was built by HN&B for their 1960 rebuild of the Hill organ in St John’s Toorak. It was saved from redundancy for this project along with solid ivory drawstops from St Andrew’s Cathedral Sydney. The largest 10 pipes of the Pedal Open Wood 32’ are on display at each side of the podium arch. This organ now speaks eloquently to show the quality of the instrument and the hall it is placed in.
A complete Muldersoft transmission and capture system has been fitted.
