All Saints' Church, Murwillumbah




This organ was built in 1926 by C. W. Leggo of Sydney with pneumatic action in the picturesque cane town of Murwillumbah, N.S.W. This organ had been moved from the original wooden church and electrified by H. W. Jarrott.  In 1998, Simon Pierce restored the organ. Restoration consisted of removing the internal pull-down magnets, and making new electro-pneumatic underaction with large pull-down motors, similar to that used previously.  All components were restored and the wind pressure returned to the original settings.  The pipework was cleaned and regulated.  With the new wind pressure and responsive action, the organ tone became warm and full, which was very effective in this large building.
