A 1953 J W Walker extension organ from a closed Londonderry church, enlarged with Compton parts from the previous instrument, rewired with a new solid-state transmission and a restored console.

Loughguile, Co. Antrim · Co. Antrim · Cramer, Wood & Co. London 1870

An 1870 Cramer, Wood & Co. organ that narrowly escaped destruction by fire in Aghalee, stored for twelve years, then fully restored — including 21 new metal front pipes — and installed at Loughguile.

Armoy, Co. Antrim · Co. Antrim · Cramer, Wood & Co. London 1869 (built for Dunluce Parish Church Bushmills)

Bailieborough, Co. Cavan · Co. Cavan

A quality Evans & Barr case modified and extended to suit the church, replacing the temporary case installed in 2007, together with other refinements to the organ itself.

Belfast, Co. Antrim · Belfast · Telford c1900 (built for Convent of Mercy Navan Co. Meath)

An organ built by Telford for a convent in Navan, enlarged to two manuals by Kenneth Jones for Delvin in 1980, refurbished and installed in the school's assembly hall.

Castledawson, Co. Londonderry · Co. Londonderry · unknown c1820

A chamber organ of nearly two hundred years restored on conservation principles: the altered compass reversed, cut-down GGG and AAA pipes restored, and the case regilded in new gold leaf.

Belfast, Co. Antrim · Belfast · Thomas Robson, London, 1857

The first organ we saved: dismantled from a closed church in 1994–95, held in store, and rehoused in the Great Hall at Queen's University Belfast. The Pipe Organ Preservation Co. carried out the rescue, storage and rehousing; the final restoration to the original 1857 specification was completed by William Drake in 2005.

Comber, Co. Down · Co. Down · Minns Taunton ? c1867

A delightful 1863 Bevington restored on historic principles, with the mechanical action and en fenêtre console recreated after being discarded when the organ was electrified.

An 'Ideal' model by Evans & Barr restored, including all the pneumatic action, and installed to replace an aged harmonium.

Finglas, Dublin, Co. Dublin · Co. Dublin · J W Walker & Son London 1860

The 1860 Walker organ from Woodstock Road Baptist Church, Oxford, thoroughly overhauled with the case restored to its original dimensions and colour, replacing an unreliable collection of recycled parts.

Carnalea, Bangor, Co. Down · Co. Down

Timolin, Co. Kildare · Co. Kildare · ? c1850

A mid-19th-century chamber organ from Portreath Methodist Church in Cornwall, restored and installed in a church that had never had an organ, fitting a west gallery with under ten feet of height.

Diamond Grange, Co. Armagh · Co. Armagh · Evans & Barr Ltd Belfast 1937

A six-stop 1937 Evans & Barr 'ideal' organ restored without alteration — tubular-pneumatic action throughout — for less than the electronic replacement the church had been considering.
