In July 1989, Broadway Church embarked on a project that has involved
enterprise, conservation and enrichment for the local community. The result is a
three-manual organ of 51 speaking stops and over 2700 pipes. Dr Roy Massey (then
Organist and Master of Choristers at Hereford Cathedral), writing after his 1990
recital, said "...I congratulate you most sincerely on the successful
outcome of a terrific undertaking..."
Building a large pipe organ would normally have been prohibitively expensive for
a church the size of Broadway: the much publicised new organ at the Parish
Church of Kingston-upon-Thames built at the same time cost over £300,000. By
using an extremely talented local organ builder, and with help from volunteers
who spent many hours carefully dismantling various redundant organs in local
churches and transporting the parts to Broadway, our organ was built to a much
smaller budget.
Pipework was purchased from churches in Halesowen, (Baptist), Walsall (Pleck
Methodist), Wednesbury (King's Hill Methodist), & Wolverhampton (St John's
Methodist), and also from Rowley Regis College. Most of the instruments were
originally built between 1900 and 1910 by two branches of the same family firm,
Nicholson & Co of Worcester and Nicholson & Lord of Walsall.
Recent additions to the instrument (during 2003) were an open metal Violone
16ft to the Pedal Organ and a fractional length reed, a Vox Humana 8ft,
to the Swell Organ. During 2005, the original three-manual console was
converted to four manuals. The fourth keyboard controls a new
"Solo" division, created by relocating some existing stops, but with
the addition of three new voices: a Vienna Flute, Viola and Orchestral
Oboe.
