Organ builders Goetze & Gwynn have launched a new website at http://www.goetzegwynn.co.uk , with the same features
as the old website, but with downloadable reports, soundfiles and blogs. The website includes
pictures and details of most of the 100 projects they have completed in the third of a century they
have been in business, making and restoring classical pipe organs.
In that time they have contributed to the revival of the historic English classical organ, restoring
important organs like St Botolph Aldgate London ca1704, St Helen Bishopsgate London 1743, and
St James Bermondsey London 1829, many with the substantial financial assistance of the Heritage
Lottery Fund. They have just completed the restoration of the 1821 H.C.Lincon organ at Thaxted in
Essex, and are starting the partial restoration of the 1969 Grant, Degens and Bradbeer organ at New
College Oxford.
Of the 100 projects, 65 are restorations of historic organs and most of these have a picture, a short
history and specifications. There are historical monographs of individual organs and restoration
reports available for free download.
