Today's a red-letter day - the 43-key Dussaux that was first announced in our Friends' Autumn newsletter has safely arrived at the Museum! This instrument has been generously donated by a long-standing friend of the collection in the Netherlands and will represent a unique aspect of mechanical organ construction in the 20th century.

We'll be uploading some recordings to our website (afom.org.uk) in due course, but the organ will make its feature debut at our next open day on 9th February. We look forward to seeing you all then!
