1896 J.E. Dodd, 2 man., 11 sp.st., mech.

Notes by Rev Bruce Naylor "Celebrating 150 years since the birth of J E Dodd" (Aug. 2006):


This instrument was the first organ built by Dodd under his new freedom as an independent organ builder.

it is really a Fincham clone, truly classical, typical Fincham specification leading to a chorus on each manual and not too powerful. It is a unique gem.

Builder: Name - J.E. Dodd, Adelaide, Perth, Melbourne, Sydney. 1896 [1] The Rev. William Andrews wrote 5/6/1906: "It has given to me and my congregation very great satisfaction." [2]
