York, UK: Minster


The organ at York Minster (UK) is currently undergoing a complete renovation. Work was begun in October 2018 and is expected to last two years and cost 2 million pounds. Harrison & Harrison is doing the work  from their Durham, UK shops. The present instrument dates from 1829, with work doubtless done along the way. Before this installation there was a tremendous fire set by an arsonist, which destroyed the quire area of the minster. It's believed a 17th century instrument was in the minster before the fire. The card is by Valentine's; printing on the front describes the location and includes a number, 2365.\
