Testimonial
Oundle School is the latest in a long and impressive list of schools and colleges that chose Copeman Hart to build their organs; we were selected for the awesome task of providing a large and versatile three-manual instrument to complement the fine classically-voiced pipe organ in the Chapel, and the choice has been spectacularly vindicated.

We had been looking for an organ able to lead strong hymn singing yet offer the versatility required for the accompaniment of the Chapel Choir. The new Copeman Hart instrument in the School Chapel has proved to be more than able to meet these requirements. The voicing is strong and displays a wonderful variety of tone and colour. It has the power to support the congregation, and the splendid 'French' voicing makes it a joy to play. I have been very impressed by the workmanship and support provided by Copeman Hart."

Andrew Cleary, Director of Music


"This superb organ is well equipped to accompany easily and effectively across the broad spectrum of music for the Anglican liturgy. The dual voicing is particularly useful and the console has been designed and built to a very high standard; we now have in the Chapel the best of both worlds - I am spoilt for choice when it comes to teaching and practising."

John Arkell, School Organist


"It is a great advantage to be able to supplement the wonderful Frobenius pipe organ we have at the west end of the Chapel with a superbly characterful instrument at the east end near the Choir. The repertoire of the Choir has expanded accordingly."

Dr Ralph Townsend, Headmaster


"I have known and admired the work of Copeman Hart for many years. We were looking for an instrument with the power, variety and colour to lead the singing of over seven hundred voices. We now have a marvellous romantic instrument to complement our classical pipe organ."

The Revd Ian Browne, Senior Chaplain
