WELCOMES YOU TO THE N. I. WEBSITE LAST SITE UPDATE 31 August 2006

We have just about finished St Peter's (the largest organ in Ireland at 4m/138s) and it is absolutely amazing.
I have to admit that I had private reservations about the mixing of digital and pipes showing the digital ranks
as being noticeably "electronic", but the majority of it is indistinguishable from the "real thing", and it takes a really
well trained ear to spot the differences. We would have to say that it is of course the real thing anyway...

The first hybrid tracker/digital organ in Ireland (and probably GB) has just been finished in Tullow, Co. Carlow.
Phoenix NI collaborated very succesfully with Stephen Adams and Aiden Scanlon (whom many regard as one of the
top pipe voicers in Ireland) and we have more projects in the pipeline... The dedication is on September 10 at 5pm.

... and the two jobs currently in the workshop are also nearing completion:

- a three manual practice organ for Leo Tomita (Organ Scholar at Corpus Christi College Cambs)
with fifty-two lighted tabs on angled jambs both sides of the keys, and

- a basically fully rebuilt and re-polished console fitted out with a new coupling and transmission system
incorporating a few digital stops (including both a 32' reed and a Sub Bourdon) for Holy Trinity Banbridge.

We have just been awarded the contract to build a new organ for The Parish Church of St. Patrick, Drumbeg,
Upper Malone, Belfast. This will be a three manual instrument, slightly smaller than Bloomfield , but because
the previous organ's pipes were placed on the West Gallery, the main bulk of our instrument will also reside there.
There will be additional small sections located at the East End, mainly for accompaniment of the Choir.

We have decided to make our entire recorded catalogue available online (mostly as 160k mp3 files),
because these days most people have access to broadband internet connections, and download time is not as
big an issue as it was a few years ago. It is also a fact of life that people tend to want things "now" rather than
wait for "tomorrow", and this will help to placate persons of that persuasion (and my family would tell you
that I definitely belong to that category).
