Organ Availability Register

UK | overseas

Page updated: April 10, 2008

Each year we ask owners of organs if they would like to be included in a list of "organs available for events". You will notice that the only way to contact the owner is via telephone or e-mail. This is for obvious security reasons. Organ details listed are supplied by the owners themselves. If you require an organ to play at your function or event, contact those listed in your area for details.

Organ owners (FOPS members only), so that we can add your instrument to the list. We will contact you each year in September to confirm that you still wish to be included and that the details we hold about your organs are correct. Please note that this didn't happen last year. If you know of any organs listed here incorrectly, please contact the webmaster. Note that the last date the data on this page was updated, shown at the top of the page.

KEY TO ORGAN DETAILS: key=keyed, kl=keyless, note=paper roll or electronic-reader. In general, the larger the number, the larger the organ.

COUNTY NAMES: This listing is set in county order, but using the original real county names. To find out more visit the Association of British Counties.
