Pipe Organ Rebuild and
Restoration
"One cannot imagine a cathedral
without an organ. I encourage you to support the
organ restoration so the Cathedral's fine music may continue for generations to
come."
Bishop David Rice, Bishop of Waiapu
Help To
Restore Our Fine Organ
The magnificent Cathedral
in Napier was rebuilt after the
devastation of the 1931 earthquake.
It houses one of the
finest church organs in New
Zealand. Over its 35 years the organ has been used for regular worship, music
lessons, civic and ecumenical ceremonies, cultural events and choral and organ recitals.
The time has
come for major work
Major work includes:
- Cleaning 35 years of dust and dirt
- Re-adjusting the 3000 pipes
- Overhauling the pipe
mechanism and sound boards
- Replacing solid state systems with digital technology
- Replacing worn keyboards and stops
- Adding a fourth manual or keyboard and its associated new pipework
- Replacing the organ blower and installing a humidifier
" The successful completion of this project will
ensure that the church and the Hawkes
Bay community continue to
enjoy the benefits of one of the finest organs in the
country. I encourage members of the
community and local organisations to support this important project."
Barbara Arnott-Mayor Napier
