Grand organ, Town Hall, Sydney, between 1928-1932 / Samuel Wood

from State Library of New South Wales

• Margaret Donald said:

  What a beautiful photo of the organ! This, of all the town halls I have seen, is the best, the most wonderfully designed. I love its side alleys, its human scale, its beautiful galleries. Is there a better town hall in Australia? Sydney Town Hall is hard to beat. (And then of course, there is the outside, in that lovely warm Hawkesbury sandstone.)

• beachcomber australia said:

  A great looking and sounding instrument. I thought it was the same as the Powerhouse picture, but the chairs have moved and the console doors are open: www.flickr.com/photos/powerhouse_museum/2362678043/ Hear what it sounds like: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FXoyr_FyFw

• State Library of New South Wales said:

  It is a jewel in Sydney's crown and was the largest Town Hall in the Empire when it was built.

• Ian Sanderson said:

  It is still there:

  Early leader for that organ is St. Patricks Cathedral, Downpatrick.

• derangedlemur said:

  Niall McAuley Did you recognise the organ or did you just base it on this one with the same title plainly being St Patricks? catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000563829

• Niall McAuley said:

  A modern shot which matches and a somewhat sparser looking Lawrence Edit: per the beachcomber below, the Lawrence is a reverse view. makes sense.

• beachcomber australia said:

  There is a reverse view of that wonderful organ case - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000563832 , and a GoogleView from that side - goo.gl/maps/8NgHimsqUhQ2 - showing the case is intact. Ed. 2nd thoughts the streetview is this side, but the choir gallery has been extended east.
