The organ of St. Michael’s is situated in a loft built above a chapel in the North Transept. Originally the console was also in the loft. However, at the rebuild in 1966, a new detached stop-key console was constructed and installed at floor level, immediately in front of the chapel, with the player facing east.

 

Pipes of the Open Diapason on the Great Organ form the display frontage, which consists of an overhanging impost above a panelled grille. The swell pedal is connected to the shutters by means of a Bowden cable.

 

I hope to include some photographs of the organ in St. Michael's soon.

The organ of the Church of St. Michael and All Angels, Bude Haven, was rebuilt and enlarged by Geo. Osmond & Co., in 1966. It was subsequently rebuilt by Lance Foy, of Truro, in the early 1990s. At this time, the Dulciana on the Great Organ was replaced by a diapason-scaled Tierce.
