The Apollo Organ - Rushworth and Dreaper 💔

Heart breaking yet nothing impossible yet!

Isaiah 54:7-8 KJV 7 For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. 8 In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer.

Never giving up hope!

Clearly a wreck right now, but in the right hands this is probably fully restorable. The "Apollo" range of R & D reed organs was highly regarded in its day.

Wow am really amazed by the fact that st mark's had an actual organ..woww, what a glory

Hopefully someone can purchase this beauty and restore it to working order again, it doesnt deserve to rot. Going to share this around to some of my resto friends, see if there can be a bite somewhere down the line.

Could still be restored although it is in very poor condition. These were possibly some of the best reed organs available. Please try to save it if you can . But it is going to be quite expensive.

This is a dreadful condemnation of the people who allowed the organ to get into this condition.
Mindless neglect.
I have worked on this type of organ, and many others, and it looks as if this one has gone too far to be rescued.

You would be better off finding a small pipe-organ which is being given away.
