Wyvern Cantata 226 MDS
The Wyvern Cantata delivers a truly exceptional organ for worship — powerful, flexible, and built to inspire.
Quality of sound for small and medium size churches
The Wyvern Cantata series has been conceived for churches that regard exceptional sound quality as the defining characteristic of a fine church organ. Every aspect of its design reflects the belief that authentic musical performance is achieved not through the number of stops available, but through the quality and authority of every individual rank.
To achieve this, each speaking stop is allocated a generous proportion of generator power, allowing every rank to speak with remarkable clarity, warmth, and dynamic expression. Rather than producing an extensive stop list at the expense of tonal integrity, the Cantata series offers carefully judged specifications, proportioned to the size and acoustic of the building, ensuring every stop contributes with convincing presence and realism.
The result is an instrument of outstanding musical refinement, capable of supporting congregational worship with confidence while providing the tonal depth, colour and responsiveness demanded by discerning organists.
The Cantata range is available in two models offering 26 or 36 speaking stops, enabling the instrument to be matched to the requirements of both smaller parish churches and larger worship spaces. Each model may be specified with either stop tabs or traditional full electric-action drawstops, allowing the console to complement both the character of the church and the preferences of the organist.
The Wyvern Cantata combines uncompromising sound quality, timeless craftsmanship, and exceptional value to create an instrument that will inspire musicians and congregations for many years to come.

CHOICE OF TWO MODELS
The emphasis is entirely on the quality of tone with all stops independently generated including individual mixture ranks. In addition to the British specification it also contains three other alternative specifications: French; German and Dutch.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
The organ has a high quality, robust oak console built in the “Shaker” style. It looks impressive with and abundance of solid oak, oak slat roll-top, integral music desk and pedalboard lighting, but it is what lies beneath the surface that really sets this organ apart: an extensive generator system for optimal quality of individual voices and six high powered channels of external audio providing a flexible separation between organ ranks and departments.
“We are delighted at St Thomas with the Wyvern Cantata 226 organ installed by Wyvern Church Organs. The positioning of the new speakers in the rafters at the back if the church has given a balanced, rounded and clear sound. From the original planning; enhancing of the spec to include a 32 note pedalboard; installation and voicing, every aspect went very smoothly, and Wyvern Church Organs have been excellent throughout.”
