This is a rebuilt Wyvern CD2 an impressive two manual organ with full moving action KA drawstops with 38 speaking stops each having great character.

This organ has fond memories for us: we first built it as an early production example of the fledgling Wyvern-Bradford system that we engineered back in the day with the University of Bradford and what was the original Copeman Hart Co.

This particular organ became our production demonstrator and was configured with a large external audio system. It saw service with BBC World Service broadcasts and numerous recitals. We retired her, stripped out the Bradford system and rebuilt her with modern WpX technology with a wide range of new samples to give additional sample choice during on site voicing.

The organ has now been fitted with new audio and installed at St Swithans Church, Holmesfield.
