The first container for Christ Church, Savannah, GA has arrived.

Our team, assisted by the wonderful volunteers from Christ Church, unloaded it in the hot and humid Savannah summer. In the words of our Workshop Foreman, Jim, it was “the hardest shift we have ever done.”

Over the coming months, the new organ will gradually take shape.

Meanwhile, back in Durham, the final stop, the Orchestral Tuba, is almost voiced. It will come straight off the voicing machine and into crates, ready for loading into the final container of pipes before beginning its journey across the Atlantic.

The HSE is currently consulting on major proposed changes to lead regulations and monitoring requirements.

The proposals risk applying a blanket industrial approach without sufficient consideration for small specialist heritage crafts, many of which are already under pressure.

If you are involved in heritage crafts where lead remains an essential traditional material, including organ building, stained glass, roofing, conservation or restoration work, it is important that your voice is heard. The consultation also welcomes responses from anyone.

Whilst it isn’t a five minute survey, we encourage as many who are able, to reply to the consultation questions.

The consultation closes on 24 May 2026.
