Georgian sample set: Thaxted?

PostThu May 28, 2015 3:03 pm

I note that the 1821 three-manual organ at Thaxted (of Gustav Holst fame) is now back in service after a restoration carried out by Goetze & Gwynn. They note on their website that this "is the earliest surviving English church organ which retains all its original parts, and looks, sounds and plays as it did originally."
