 The organ in School Hall was built by Mittenreiter of Leiden and first stood in the English (Episcopal) Church in Rotterdam in 1773 using pipework from an earlier organ and cases by a local cabinet-maker. The organ was presented to the School after 1914 and incorporated into a large instrument prior to the rebuilding by Flentrop Orgelbouw in 1971.

Lower Chapel

  • Chorale Prelude on Christe, Redemptor Omnium – Parry
  • Blue Rose Variations – Dickinson
  • In Weston's Yard – Dunhill
Built by Lewis & Co in 1891, the Tapper case is a copy of the Father Smith case that had first graced College Chapel in 1699. Hunter rebuilt the organ in this case after the First World War, and this survived until a further rebuild by Harrison & Harrison Ltd in 1970 who added a new Positive organ to the former enclosed Choir organ. With three manuals and sixty-seven stops, the organ is heard in an unflattering acoustic.

ORGANISTS' REVIEW (May 1997)
"Recording and production are exemplary and both discs can be highly recommended."

THE DIAPASON (October 1998)
"...Together the two CDs provide a good survey of four interesting organs, while the playing illustrates the high standard of the music establishment at Eton. An enjoyable and instructive pair"
