The organ has been further decorated with angels


From SOJ Summer 2003-4:

The Australian Brandenburg Orchestra commissioned N.P. Mander Ltd of London to build a four stop continuo organ in 2002.. The organ has been tuned to baroque pitch (A=415) and has a transposing keyboard to allow performances at modern pitch. It can also be tuned to A=430. The Principal 4' is full length although the bottom half octave is mitred. The drawstop action divides at middle C, allowing for contrasting bass and treble registrations. It was first heard in public in October 2003 at Angel Place Recital Hall.
