J W Walker extension organ finds a new home in a Yorkshire Catholic Church


The JW Walker extension organ in Shipley

A 1959 J W Walker extension organ which stood unused for 12 years in a redundant church has found a new home in West Yorkshire.


The instrument was relocated from Christ Church, Bacup, Lancashire to St Walburga's Catholic Church in Shipley where it now speaks from the west gallery.


Its comprehensive specification has been enhanced by the addition of a Conacher 16' pedal reed acquired from a redundant church near Huddersfield.


Wood Pipe Organ Builders have many years of experience in dismantling, relocating and reassembling organs and we take great care with the tonal finishing to ensure the instrument sounds at its best in its new home.
