LIVERPOOL CATHEDRAL, ENGLAND.

The firm of Henry Willis & Sons was established in 1845 by the late
"Father" Willis, who took his two sons, Vincent Willis and Henry
Willis, into partnership with him in 1878. The majority of the patents
and improvements produced by the firm were solely the work of "Father"
Willis, although his son Vincent was associated with him in certain of
the later patents. Vincent Willis left the firm in 1894, six years
previous to the death of "Father" Willis, which occurred in February,
1900, and the business has since been carried on by his son, Mr. Henry
Willis, with whom is associated Mr. Henry Willis, Jr., the grandson of
the founder.

The famous traditions of the firm in the field of reed-voicing and flue
tone have been maintained by the present partners, who are both
experienced voicers; and in general up-to-date mechanical details the
firm is in the forefront of the English organ-building industry; as is
evidenced by their recently obtaining the contract for the magnificent
divided organ which they have now under construction (1913) for the
enormous New Cathedral of Liverpool, the specification of which is here
appended.

There are five manuals, of 61 notes, CC to c|3|, and a radiating and
concave pedal board of 32 notes, CCC to g. There are no extensions or
duplications. With the exception of the Celestes, which go down to FF
only, every stop is complete, of full compass. There are 167 speaking
stops and 48 couplers, making a total of 215 draw stop knobs.
