  • Something to save…

    10Feb
    Categories: Notices

    A classically designed electronic organ needs repairing and a possible new home. If anyone knows how to fix one (circuit boards probably need replacing), please get in touch with Marilyn Harper via the website.

    The organ would be an ideal practice instrument. There is a need to shift it from its present location.

    I should add that if it can be fixed easily and inexpensively it ought to stay where it is. If it can’t, then someone who can afford to fix it may be able to use it.
