"Having decided upon the ideal specification
for a new organ we searched for a builder who
was prepared to go along with our vision and
expectations. Copeman Hart responded the most
favourably to our specific requirements. We
are thrilled, overjoyed and excited with the
voicing and versatility of the finished unique
instrument."
Revd Canon Godfrey Hirst,
Vicar
"Stunning authentic pipe organ sound from
a superbly versatile dual-purpose digital instrument
- ideally suited to making organ music accessible
to the general public in the 21st Century"
Nigel Ogden, Theatre Organist
and Consultant
"The organ at St Cuthbert's, Lytham is
an instrument of huge versatility and colour.
It is unusual to find one instrument which can
play all the repertoire with equal success,
and its dual role as classical and theatre organ
is an inspired and magical part of its creation,
which will delight audiences in the years to
come. St Cuthbert's and Copeman Hart are to
be congratulated on this splendid instrument."
Malcolm Archer, Organist and
Director of Music, St Paul's Cathedral
"Over the past 30 years I've had the good
fortune to play many magnificent pipe organs
on a regular basis. I can honestly say that
the new Copeman Hart is as fine as any of them
and better than most. There isn't a boring stop
on it. From the earth shattering roar of the
Double Ophicleide to the enchanting purr of
the Unda Maris, everything is special and interesting.
I'm now practicing more than ever before because
I can't stay away from this magical instrument.
To anyone considering a digital organ I would
say 'If you know exactly how you want it to
sound and look, you have no choice. It has to
be a Copeman Hart'."
John Mitchell, Precentor
"It quickly became clear that a Copeman
Hart organ is an instrument of outstanding quality
both in terms of craftsmanship and authenticity
of voicing; it generates a physical presence,
normally the preserve of the finest pipe organs.
To say that, throughout, we received the personal
attention of Ernest Hart and his team, in terms
of voicing and accommodating our suggestions
and requirements, would be an understatement.
Suffice it to say that in Lytham there stands
a unique organ which has to be played to be
appreciated and heard to be believed."
Peter Jebson, Church Organist
and Choirmaster, and Theatre Organist
