One of UK’s largest concert instruments will sound again after being restored to glory

At 14 metres tall and with intricate maze of pipes, valves and keys, the Bristol Britton organ produces ‘colossal’ sound

After falling silent eight years ago, one of the UK’s largest – and loudest – concert hall instruments is bursting back into life.

Standing 14 metres high and encompassing more than 5,000 pipes, Bristol’s revered Britton organ is making its comeback this weekend, revived and revitalised after a painstaking restoration.
