Did Neville Barnett intend William Hill to build the new organ for Christchurch cathedral?
The specification he drew up in 1880 was typical of that firm’s work with details of, perhaps, a decade earlier. The instrument actually installed two years later (job no: 1772 in Hill’s Shop Book) differs only slightly from Barnett’s proposal, with more modish stops (Salicional and Harmonic Flute) substituted for the obsolescent Keraulophon and unfashionable Wald Flute. Barnett specified a Great Open Diapason of “No 1 scale”; the Shop Book shows that the firm’s “Full scale” of c. 6 ¼” (160mm) diameter at CC was employed.
