Davidson Organ
William Davidson 1891, 3m., 28 sp. st., mechanical and tubular-pneumatic
Our Davidson organ is used for most services and serves as our principal instrument for both congregation and choral accompaniment. It consists of three manuals and 28 stops. Completed in 1891, this instrument has been altered several times, with added pipe work from both builders Charles Richardson and S.T Noad. Due to its heavy usage in both the 1980s and 1990s, the organ saw a much needed restoration in 2006. Prior to this the organ was placed under a Permanent Conservation Order by the Heritage Council of NSW in 1987. With other large William Davidson organs around Sydney being rebuilt and heavily altered, Our Davidson is considered the ‘largest example of an Australian-built 19th century mechanical action organ surviving unaltered today’.1
