Légende
New Organ for Archbishop Tenison's Chapel, Regent-Street, [London], 1856. 'The new organ is of two full rows of keys and pedal, with ten stops to each of the former, and a single rank of open wood sixteen-feet pipes to the latter, presenting altogether four complete diapasons and two doubles. It is constructed on what is known as the German scale, the same as has within the last few years become generally adopted by all the best English builders, and approved of by all the first performers; and is arranged for the tuning on the system distinguished by the term "equal temperament," the system ever practised in Germany and France, but only now beginning to supplant the generally defective English mode of tuning by unequal temperament....The builders are Messrs. Gray and Davidson...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
