Leigh Parish Church

The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin or Leigh Parish church as it known locally boast a fine Harrison organ. Unfortunately asbestos has been found in the blower chamber and the Church Wardens have had to close the instrument down. With a wedding coming up and an Archdeacons visitation. Within a week the incumbent and wardens turned to local company Anthony Bogdan Organs Ltd to supply a  temporary  instrument

Anthony quickly contacted Viscount Classical organs Ltd to check if there was a suitable instrument available and a Prestige 80 over nice speakers was quickly shipped up north. The whole operation was completed within the week

The installation took three days. Anthony voiced the organ and downloaded new samples into the instrument to copy the sound of the Harrison Organ.
