I had the pleasure of practising on this organ every Saturday as a schoolboy in the early 1960s, when I was organist at the nearby daughter church of St Francis, which had an 1830 Bishop chamber organ. Congratulations to the team in Melbourne for rescuing this pristine multum-in-parvo Harrison instrument. It sounds very splendid at St Mark's, though the reverberation time at St Luke's, Cowley, was about 5 seconds, and gave the impression of a huge cathedral organ.

A lovely rendition of a beautiful piece!
