Organ (north part), Salisbury Cathedral
Although Organs in the cathedral date back to 1480, the current organ dates from 1876 and was built by Henry Willis with 4 manuals and pedals with 54 stops.
Several new stops were added in 1934.
It was cleaned and overhauled in 1969 with much updating.
In 1978 Harrison and Harrison installed a new action with rocker tablets, and in 2006 they overhauled the console.
The organ is split on two sides of the Quire, with additional pipes in the north transept.
There are currently 65 stops and some 4000 pipes.
(Some of the north transept pipes can be seen on the extreme left of the photo).
