Rebuilding of II/14 1937/1991 J.W. Walker & Sons organ
2023
The organ in the Royal Chapel of All Saints, Windsor Great Park, was completed in 1937 by J.W. Walker & Sons, and incorporated a number of ranks from the previous organ (TC Lewis, 1870). In 1991, the Walker firm rebuilt the instrument, renewing its internal mechanism entirely, and making a number of neoclassical-inspired tonal changes.
We were pleased to have been commissioned to undertake some tonal work in which many of the 1991 tonal changes were to be reversed, along with a couple of further adjustments to bring back something of the original Lewis character of much of the pipework.
The opportunity was also taken to remodel the ‘whale-tooth’ console into traditional drawstop design, more in keeping with the Victorian character of the chapel and instrument.
