Work commences on the Cathedral organ on 11th January 2010. The instrument will be out of action for a year while Harrison and Harrison install the new organ. The organ will incorporate pipework from the previous instruments by Norman & Beard and Nicholson. It will speak primarily to the west, but is also designed to accompany services in the quire. Two organ cases will be provided, in accordance with the architect’s intentions: the main case in the transept facing west towards the nave, and a smaller case for the Choir Organ overlooking the quire, where the console is also situated.
