The Chapel Organ

It seems somehow fated that an organ Kenneth Tickell was involved with renovating and re-installing during his first years in organ-building should have been the one whose replacement stood on the shop floor when he died suddenly in 2014. The current organ, which turned out to be his last, is a beautiful instrument, suited to a wide range of musical styles, and exquisite in its case decoration (including the Downing griffin, if you look carefully enough!).
