The rebuild by Simon Pierce in 1991 included  turning the whole instrument to speak across the nave, thus supporting  congregational singing more directly. \u00a0At this time, a Trumpet stop was  installed in the prepared slide on the Great. The scaling of the Trumpet  was taken from the 1915 B. B. Whitehouse organ in St Mary&#8217;s, Ipswich.<\/p>\n<p>During  2000, the building was treated for a termite infestation, after which  cleaning of the instrument became necessary and was undertaken by the  firm in October.<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"15\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"590\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"2\" align=\"center\">Specifications<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"50%\" align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><strong>GREAT<\/strong><\/p>\n<pre> 8'    Open Diapason  \t\r\n 8'    Dulciana \t\r\n 8'    Clarabella \r\n 4'    Principal \t \r\n 4'    Flute \t\t \r\n 2'    Fifteenth \t \r\n 8'    Trumpet \t \r\n<\/pre>\n<p><strong>SWELL<\/strong><\/p>\n<pre>16'    Bourdon \t\r\n 8'    Open Diapason \t\r\n 8'    Stopped Diapason\r\n 8'    Salicional \t\r\n 8'    Vox Celeste \t\r\n 4'    Gemshorn \t\r\n 2'    Piccolo \t\r\n 8'    Cornopean \t\r\n 8'    Oboe \t\t\r\n\r\n\r\nSwell Octave\r\nSwell Sub\r\n<\/pre>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This excellent example of tracker action organ building was built and installed by B.B.Whitehouse &amp; Co. in 1910. \u00a0In 1936 the church was extended southwards by turning the nave around 180 degrees and adding a large Romanesque crossing with north and south transepts, the altar being relocated to the southern<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":370,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/piercepipeorgans.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/140"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/piercepipeorgans.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/piercepipeorgans.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/piercepipeorgans.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/piercepipeorgans.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=140"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/piercepipeorgans.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/140\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":388,"href":"https:\/\/piercepipeorgans.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/140\/revisions\/388"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/piercepipeorgans.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/370"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/piercepipeorgans.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=140"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
