Verbecck or Marenghi it is still a magnificent organ and it had the honour of playing God be with you at the late Michael Olivers Funeral 2 years ago.
Its a brand new verbeeck with a copy façade made in fibre glass and resin. The copy was made from the ex Danters parts from the Wookey sale, Which was bought by an American collector. He's not happy that his purchased has been copied, and now for a second time.
since verbeeck are still going today, on the web they claim they will restore any make of organ.This could be a marenghi to which someone has added a gavioli facade and then it was restored by verbeeeck
I thought the large Marenghi's were 104 keys? Can you really call this a Marenghi? What is "Marenghi" about it? The facade looks like it is a copy of a Gavioli facade. The organ sounds like the regular large Verbeeck organs found elsewhere on YouTube.

Hi rotunda57,
The organ on this video is played by music book. The organ is 110 key Marenghi that was restored Johny Verbeeck.
