Chester Cathedral (GB)

The first instrument in Chester Cathedral which can be reliably determined is the 1844 instrument by Gray and Davison. Whiteley Brothers made additions in 1876 including Cavaille-Coll harmonic flutes and reeds. In 1910 William Hill and Son removed the Cavaille-Coll additions in favor of their own. Much of the organ is located at the front of the north transept, with the choir division located on the south side of the choir area. Rushworth and Dreaper did work on the instrument in 1969. Under the care of David Wells since 1991, there have been no further significant changes. The National Pipe Organ Register listing for the cathedral instrument gives detailed information about the specification.
