Restoration of 20-year-old Frobenius organ in Canongate Kirk completed

David Wood

The Frobenius organ in Canongate Kirk restored by Wood Organ Builders.

We were pleased to complete restoration work on the 20-year-old Frobenius organ in Canongate Kirk, Old Town, Edinburgh.


Our team successfully carried out a clean and overhaul, repairs to pipework and a re-setting of the action on the  two-manual instrument.


It was the 1,000th organ to be built by the Danish builder, Frobenius, and its first in Scotland.


The organ, with 20 speaking stops, was specially designed for Canongate Kirk as a memorial to the Very Rev Dr Ronald Selby Wright, minister of Canongate from 1937-1977.  


To celebrate the refurbishment, Canongate’s director of music arranged a series of organ recitals to take place during the Fringe festival.
