Testimonial
We take as much care with a two-manual instrument as we do with the largest four-manual, which is one reason why we were approached by the Headmaster of Clifton Lodge Preparatory School to build an organ to accompany the renowned Clifton Lodge Choristers. Using a highly original and very successful specification drawn up by Nigel McClintock, Director of Music at Croydon Parish Church, South London, and organist to the School, we were delighted to build a two-manual organ for them.

"Having previously worked with Copeman Hart, I awaited the arrival of the organ at Clifton Lodge School with eager anticipation, and was not disappointed!  We have acquired an instrument showing the highest craftsmanship and quality, a joy to look at and highly comfortable to play.  It is versatile as both a solo and accompaniment instrument for the 20 boy choristers and 10 professional lay-clerks.  It is a musical success in every way."

Nigel McClintock


"We have in the last two months taken delivery of a Copeman Hart two-manual and pedalboard digital organ.  It is a 'Rolls-Royce' of instruments and sounds entirely like a pipe organ - for which we certainly have insufficient room!  It has had a wonderfully beneficial effect on the singing of the whole school in the daily routine assembly.  The Choristers and their Lay Clerks, for whom it was primarily purchased, are absolutely thrilled with the beauty of the instrument and their choral performances are so greatly enhanced, not least their regular singing of the psalms.  We are very satisfied customers and would proudly show it off to any who would wish to be converted!"

David Blumlein, Headmaster
