Renton Organ Case
Towards the end of 2005 we acquired the splendid mahogany case, together with gilded dummy facade pipes, bellows and assorted internal materials of a rare John Renton chamber organ. It was planned to restore this instrument to its original condition and specification, but alas, some vital parts have been lost or destroyed.
The original specification was:
| One manual GG to g”’ - 61 notes | |
| Stopped Diapason | Bass and Treble |
| Principal | Bass and Treble |
| Octave Flute | |
| Fifteenth | |
| Vilo de Gamba | |
| Kerolophin | from Tenor c° in a swell box |
| Silistinia | from Tenor c° in a swell box |
| Dulciana | from Tenor c° in a swell box |
Dimensions: 3350mm high x 1870mm wide x 725mm deep
The organ was known to arrive in Fortrose Parish Church in 1911 but was probably built before 1864. It was removed in 1986 by the late Hugh Ross on behalf of the Scottish Historic Organ Trust with the intention of restoring it.
We now intend to design and build a new instrument within this case in an appropriate style (and using pipework from the original instrument), and would be happy to discuss our proposals with any interested party.
