Builder: ? for church in Bradford
Reconstructed: Wells-Kennedy Partnership Ltd, Lisburn, 1997

This little organ originated from Bradford, England, its builder and date of construction are unknown. It was renovated by Wells-Kennedy Partnership Ltd of Lisburn in 1997 and installed in the cathedral replacing a Hammond electronic. The case was stripped of its white paint and restored, the tonal scheme was revised as the former scheme was poor and had been altered on at least one occasion.
