Wyvern Cantata 226 ST

The Wyvern Cantata 226 is specifically designed for the smaller church that is often replacing an ailing pipe organ. Here sound quality is the main consideration rather than an extensive stop list.

CHOICE OF TWO MODELS

Cantata 226 – Featuring 26 speaking stops, this model offers a carefully chosen specification ideal for small to medium-sized churches.

Cantata 236 – New model (September 2025) with 36 speaking stops. Following the sucess of the Cantata 226 this larger instrument is perfect for bigger spaces where a broader tonal palette is required.

Both models place emphasis on the quality of tone, with every stop independently generated, including individual mixture ranks. In addition to the core British specification, each organ also offers three alternative specifications: French, German, and Dutch.

CRAFTSMANSHIP

Every detail of its design is focused on delivering an authentic, inspiring musical experience.

The Cantata is housed in a robust solid oak console, built in the timeless Shaker style. Features include: oak slat roll-top, integral music desk, high quality keyboards, pedalboard lighting. While the exterior impresses with its craftsmanship, the real innovation lies within: a powerful tone generator system and six external audio channels, providing flexible separation of organ ranks and departments.

With its combination of traditional craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology, the Wyvern Cantata delivers a truly exceptional organ for worship — powerful, flexible, and built to inspire.

Image - Wyvern Church Organs

At St Thomas we are delighted with the Wyvern Cantata 226 organ that was installed in 2017 by Wyvern Church Organs. The installation was very neat and the positioning of the new speakers in the rafters at the back if the church with small speakers in the chancel has given a balanced, rounded and clear sound, while also being mellow so is easy on the ear even at louder volumes. From the original planning, enhancing of the spec to include a 32 note pedalboard, through to installation and voicing, every aspect went very smoothly. I would recommend this model and Wyvern Church Organs who have been excellent throughout
