St Mary's Anglican Church
Ballina

Ian D. Brown & Assoc. 1999, 2m., 19 sp. st., el.pn.

From SOJ Spring 1999 and Autumn 2003:

The Anglican parish of Ballina built a new St Mary's Church in the late 1990s. A "new" organ built by Ian Brown & Assoc. was installed 1999. The parish bought the 1909 Norman & Beard organ formerly in St Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Parramatta. The specification of this organ was much altered during the 1960s using Dutch pipework of neo-classical style. This organ was combined with the Jarrott organ from the old St Mary's and some new materialwas added.

Having a detached drawstop console with electric action and a piston capture system in the chancel area, the organ is erected on a platform towards the side of the modern building. The organ case makes the best use of some recycled façade pipes but is otherwise a new design by Jennifer Brown.
