Brotchie Memorial Presbyterian Church
Mary Street, Beecroft

Hill, Norman & Beard 1937, restored Pitchford & Garside 1980 (2/3 ranks extended, electro-pneumatic)



From SOJ Winter 1998:

This church was named after its first minister, Revd J.A.R. Brotchie, MA who was inducted in 1907.

The organ was built by Hill, Norman & Beard in 1937 at a cost of £575 and was restord in 1980 by Pitchford & Garside, at a cost of $10,680. This involved renewing the electric action, cleaning of pipes, a new blower, re-siting the organ case and several new pieps for the Diapason rank, to provide for the Fifteenth. This tiny three rank organ has provided excellent service over the years. It exemplifies the extremes of extension and duplexing with 17 stops over 2 manuals and pedals from only 3 ranks and 306 pipes.

The three ranks are:

Open Diapason, Stopped Diapason and String.
