While Auckland City Council is providing major funding for the Town Hall Organ’s restoration, it is essential that lovers of this great instrument provide the balance. Construction is well underway at Orgelbau Klais in Germany and delivery is expected at the end of the year.  After installation there will be many months of tonal finishing of this, New Zealand’s largest pipe organ. Arguably the country’s most exciting organ project in a century, you can be proud to be associated with it.
