The
Christ Church Organ
The organ, the only pipe organ in Thailand, was made by Messrs. Henry
Willis and Son of London who had made a similar organ for the Anglican Church of St. Mary
the Virgin, Kuala Lumpur. Part of the cost came from donations
at the dedication service held on 19 November 1905 and the rest was provided
by a loan from Mr. Henry Hooker, later repaid.
By 1975, the organ had
become all but unusable, but rather than replace it, it was rebuilt by Peter
Scott, the Manager of DuPont Chemicals (Thailand), with advice and diagrams
from Henry Willis IV. Henry Willis himself came from the United Kingdom for two weeks to finish the rebuild.
The clergy stalls in
front of the organ had been given by Mr E.Ambrose in 1907.
