Testimonial
After a disastrous fire which completely destroyed the pipe organ, this beautiful church was completely refurbished. The organist, Richard Williams, and the Restoration Committee assessed all the available makes of electronic organ, and whilst rightly longing to install another pipe organ, they realised that limitations of space and finance made this impossible. They unanimously agreed that Copeman Hart was the only make which would be a worthy substitute.

"I write to thank you for the magnificent organ you have installed for us here at Dormansland. I had anticipated that the result would be good and would certainly put to bed the fears that a number of people had expressed regarding a 'pipeless' solution. I did not however expect the organ would sound quite as superb as it actually does. Since the Thanksgiving service, many letters of congratulation have been received, remarking on not only the success of the service, but the undoubted success of the organ. There is no doubt in my mind that we have made the right choice buying a Copeman Hart organ.

"I have tried a number of other makes which simply fail in one respect or another to convince; this organ stands well above your competitors. Quite clearly much of this is due to the care and attention given to the planning, installation and voicing on site, normally only associated with pipe organs.

"We set out to produce a traditional English organ, versatile enough to ensure the full repertoire of music was possible. We all feel that you have achieved this goal without reservation, and I can only recommend that all churches and institutions considering the pipeless option should choose Copeman Hart."

Richard Williams CEng MIEE FIRSE, Organist
