Holy Trinity Church Gosport Handel Organ

A fine example of early English organ building, built in 1720 by Abraham Jordan, it was often played by Handel, who also influenced its design. The present organ was built by William Hill in 1897, but retains some Jordan pipework, this was designed around eight ranks of pipes from the original instrument.

the organ was proudly restored by Andrew Cooper in 2012 and not only looks good, but sounds good and access to the pipes is much safer now.
I have enclosed the stop list for other fellow organ players and organists and i would say its worth a visit.
