Queens’ College 8th July  2023


About twenty of us met at Queens’ College in July to see hear and play the Binns organ. Stephen introduced the meeting and wondered why Binns received so little attention from the familiar books on Bristish organ history, apart from Bonavia-Hunt in The Modern British Organ (1950) who praises his diapasons and flutes. Binns was much influenced by Schulze, having cared for his famous Doncaster instrument.

 

I think we were all in agreement that this is an excellent organ, and Binns deserves more recognition in organ building history.

After the session we enjoyed tea coffee and biscuits.
