King Solomon

The King Solomon Fair Organ is MIDI controlled              with 200 pipes, trumpets, accordion and a variety of    percussion instruments.

The organ was designed and built at my workshop                   and completed in 2002 however there have been          continual enhancements to the control and instrumentation. 

I receive many invitations each year to show the organ               all over England. Please contact me if you would like me to attend your forthcoming event.
