Miller at Tayport. R.L. writes: Good organ, well built, but needs work as it has rarely been played in the last decade. I suspect it to be a Miller rebuild of something more worthy, and would make a good basis. However the action is pneumatic, and would need to be electrified and the pneumatics renovated.

Miller? at Denbeath, Fife, but, following adviser's visit, more likely to be another Casson. Single manual and pedal: super octave on all stops; gems 4 Dulc 8 Gamba 8 Gedact treble/ stopped diap bass open diap treble/open diap bass; ped bourdon 16, man-ped coupler. 9'x11'x12. Functioning well but action worn and noisy; inside dirty; leatherwork ok. 'Joy to play', 'sings in building', 'small yet satisfying instrument' (Andrew Caskie)

Norman and Beard Crieff St. Andrew's R.L. writes: Absolutely first class organ of its type. A two manual built with exhaust pneumatics on the battleship lines of old. In spite of neglect and lack of tuning, the organ is presently (or was) playable, and would be thoroughly recommended for anyone seeking the basis of a rebuild which would lead to a very good organ indeed.

Binns no date, Brechin Gardner Memorial. Gt 888442, Sw 8884Ob, Ped16,8. Rev. Moira Herkes 01356 622789 R.L. writes: Substantially built Binns, small, but good, two manual, in a good case. Mechanical action (memory makes me question this, possibly pneumatic, but I just don't know.) and pneumatic pedal action. Good stops, but very much a one stop organ, the Great Diapason, and would need tonal modification. However, the robustness of build would suggest it would be very welcome in a church where limited space, and enough finance to replace a few ranks would give the acquirer a first class organ.

Bishopbriggs Kenmure JP writes: I am aware that this 2-manual Lewis was redundant, having been 'cast aside' for an Allen electronic. The pedal board from the Lewis has been moved to the gallery to make room for the Allen.
