Electric blowing was added in the 1970 rebuild as were tuning slides as pipes were at the stage of being unable to cope with any more cone tuning. New Sesquialtera was made by Mander and based upon original breaks as the old Sesquialtera had been replaced sometime during the instruments history (by someone unknown) with a Snetzler chimney flute. Original Trumpet was lost. The organ is located in the choir area at the front of the church.
