keyboard appears comparatively new and possibly at some time retractable,
or from another instrument as the surrounding woodwork does not match.
the compass of 56 notes is much greater than that normally found on
instruments made by the Positive Organ Company. It has not been
established if the pipework is based on this compass;
(Colin Jilks confirms that the keyboard is short compass and transposing and
not uncommon from this builder; it is original);
