Organ Cleaning

The organ at Thorney Abbey underwent cleaning in 2014, there are some pictures below showing how intricate it is!

Our organ has 1,588 pipes, each with its own voice. They range in size from 2 inches to 16 feet in length! Some are made of metal and some of wood. Some have wooden stoppers at the ends and some have reeds and brass ends. They were all cleaned and retuned. What a task!

The smaller pipes were removed and taken to the workshop for attention. The larger ones were serviced on site.

If you would like to hear the organ played, come to any 11am Sunday service!
