Mr Alex Berry about to give his farewell organ recital @Bfdcathedral (sort of farewell to the organ too, at least in this form – on Monday it’s taken apart for a very thorough overhaul, including some alterations to bring it back closer to its original sound). pic.twitter.com/ZbSglkngU7

Thanks to a mix of internally raised money and funding from The Pilling Trust Fund, we have the resources to restore our 1904 Hill Organ to its original design and former glory. pic.twitter.com/ISHnPAqty3
For the past 3 days, the organ builders have been removing the organ's pipes so that they can be cleaned and repaired. Although there is still a long way to go, they are making excellent progress! pic.twitter.com/E2wGO8wDQE

These photos show just a few of the near 3000 pipes which are in Bradford Cathedral's organ. The pipes vary in size, the smallest being centimetres tall, to the largest being metres tall! All produce their own individual sounds and are all unique from one another. pic.twitter.com/up7tcM4kab

The organ bellows, as seen in the 1st photograph, has been safely taken down. More pipes are continuing to be sent down, including some of the wooden pipes, as seen in the 2nd photo. pic.twitter.com/baxSOXCMV3
