"We have been enjoying an abundance of great music since our organ was dedicated last Sunday, and there has been nothing but admiration and pleasure expressed around Malone. I am sure you would have thoroughly enjoyed hearing the organ in a full church - we have much to thank you for."

Mervyn A Morrow QC

"I am writing to convey to you my personal thanks and the thanks of the whole congregation of Malone for the magnificent organ which your company built for us. From the outset of all our discussions the Organ Committee knew that it wanted an instrument well fitted for the purpose of worshipping Almighty God. When we met you and heard your work in other churches we felt beyond all doubt that you would be able to provide for us exactly what we wanted. We now know that our judgement was wholly accurate.

"Between our concept and the completion of your work lay a long period of discussion, consideration and reflection. At every point in our deliberations you made yourself available to us in a most whole-hearted and willing way and we on the Organ Committee felt that a bond was forged between us which was an invaluable benefit throughout the whole gestation period.

"We value very highly your expertise, both as musician and builder, and we would wish to place on record our appreciation of your own personal interest in the life and work of our congregation. Our congregation is always very busy and active in a wide range of commitments and we all felt that you took into account all our needs and requirements in terms of time scale in a most sympathetic and understanding way. We were impressed by your minute attention to detail as well as by your ability to take an overview of our requirements. The result is a most happy blend whereby we have a magnificent new organ without any unnecessary alteration to our Church building which we love so much.

"We know that you have not spared your skills and talents on our behalf and I only wish you could have been present to hear the acclaim which the new Copeman Hart organ received from some 600 people at the Organ Recital following its Dedication. The Organist of Belfast Cathedral was particularly warm in his praise. That acclaim, expressed by so many, simply mirrors the expressions of appreciation which we in Malone wish to extend to you for your helpfulness and business-like approach.

"We thoroughly appreciate and enjoy the new organ and hold its builder in high regard."
