The magnificent new Phoenix Digital
Draw-stop Organ in Pine matches the Chapel interior. It has American
Black Walnut stop jambs, and an Oak and Beech pedalboard.
The organ has 3 manuals, 48 speaking stops plus Tremulants, couplers
and a full range of stop control accessories.
Barry R Brown, the organist at
Padiham Nazareth Unitarian Chapel writes:
"We commissioned a three manual
custom built draw-stop instrument from Phoenix Organs UK made
from pine and stained to match the interior at Nazareth
Unitarian Chapel Padiham. We took delivery some nine months ago.
Over a period of a few months, the digital sound samples were
adjusted and finished on-site by David Bostock (the Principal of
Phoenix Organs UK) so that the instrument sound as we wished in
the Chapel.
We have had three of the first series of 5 concerts organised
for the instrument and the general consensus of the audience has
been most favourable.
I cannot speak too highly of the
painstaking attention of David Bostock, not a merely before its
production, but during the installation and especially
afterwards. Nothing has been too much trouble. Anyone
wishing to visit the Church to see the instrument for themselves
is most welcome, you only need to contact David to arrange a
visit.
I unreservedly
commend the company to anyone considering a digital instrument
of high quality at a most competitive price!"
