The Organ of St Paul’s Cathedral Namirembe
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The organ of St Paul’s Cathedral Namirembe was built in 1931 by the Positive Organ Company (1922) Limited. In 1952, after twenty years of service the organ was in need of an overhaul and this work was entrusted to Alfred E. Davis of Northampton, England. The organ gave a further twenty years of service, but after Idi Amin seized power in 1971 it deteriorated seriously during the years of unrest. Eventually in 1998, Peter Wells from the United Kingdom was sent to inspect what remained and advice on the rehabilitation. Several schemes were considered and the organ today operates to a specification drawn up with Michael Sozi, then chairman of the Organ Committee, in 1999.
Due to limited funds, it was decided to stagger the work of restoration. The first phase commenced after Easter 1999 when Peter and Ann Wells travelled to Uganda to install new manual keyboards and action to the manual soundboards. The full scheme was realized in 2006 and 2007 with the installation of the Great Mixture and Pedal Trombone. |
