ST. JOHN’S CHURCH ORGAN.

Some very valuable additions have recently been made to the organ at this church, viz., open diapason (large scale), 16ft. to pedal organ; trumpet to grand organ ; Bourdon, 16ft., and cornopean, Bft., to swell organ. The alterations and enlargements were first commenced in the year 187*1, by Mr Landergan, and the work was carried out by Mr E. H. Jenkins, organ builder, of this city, in a very satisfactory manner. The organ as it now stands is one of the largest in the colony of New Zealand, and contains twenty-nine stops and some 1300 pipes. To give an idea of the work we append a full |specification of the Morgan. The stops marked * are all new; the stops not marked represent the organ as it was when sent cut from England.
