St Andrew's Presbyterian Church Great War Memorial Pipe Organ, Murwillumbah Middle Image Image Image 0 / 0 - Prev Next Description / Background This war memorial is a pipe organ, which was dedicated on 15 June 1924 in honour of those who served in the First World War. It is located in the aspe of St Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Murwillumbah, NSW. The organ was made by Roberts Ltd of North Adelaide, South Australia. In reporting on the dedication ceremony, the Tweed Daily, 16 June 1924, gave the following technical description of the instrument: The new organ ... contains two manuals and a pedal clavier. There are 10 speaking stops, five on the great organ, four on the swell organ, and one on the pedal organ. There are three couples, coupling the various manuals and pedals together. The largest pipe has a 16ft. tone, and the smallest pipe is on 1/4 in. in length. There are six stops of 8ft. tone, two stops of 4ft. tone, and one stop each of 2ft. and 16ft. tones. Altogether there are 414 pipes in the organ. The instrument contains every family of organ tones, diapasons, flutes, string and reed tones. The diapasons, the foundation tone of every organ, are full and mellow, and of a richness unequalled for an organ of this size. Draped with the Union Jack and Australian flags, the instrument was unveiled by Mrs W. Wardrop. The sermon was provided by preacher Reverend M. Graham Hart, who was also celebrating the fourteenth year of his ministry in Murwillumbah. On the day, an appeal raised 91 pounds and seven shillings, which meant the organ and structural alterations to the church were free of debt. The organ itself cost 750 pounds. The instrument is available for viewing during church services.
