Full Version: Another redundant organ - BIOS Grade II certificate

Contrabombarde
I just found this advertised on Ebay, with two days to go. I don't know the instrument myself, but it has a BIOS Grade II Historical Organ Certificate, and being a Taylor it's probably pretty bulletproof and well deserving of its certificate. It would be a crying shame to see this land up on a skip.

It would suit a belgian church perfectly. The Nazard and Larigot
may stay in Britain.

Amazingly they were apparently put in during the 1970s and replaced an original Open Diapason and Clarinet:

Even more amazing the old pipes were apparently kept in the church so you could indeed throw out the imposters and restore the originals.
