sound recordings of this organ before restoration
main photo gallery of organs around the world
Singapore's only Danish organ, built by Starup & Søn (Copenhagen) in 1960, at the Norwegian Seamen's Mission. Photographs taken before (2005) and during (2007) restoration. Restored by Robert Navaratnam, Singapore's only organ builder. I am grateful to Alphonsus Chern, Adriel Yap, Inger Synnevaag and Robert Navaratnam for their roles in the rediscovery, documentation and preservation of this important instrument in the context of Singapore's predominantly Anglo-German organ landscape.
