Fossoway St Serfs and Devonside, Crook of Devon

This small church was built in 1729 and lies in the Parish of Fossoway just to the west of Kinross. The previous organ, a single manual pipe instrument with a reduced compass keyboard and reduced pedalboard, was also tonally limited with just three manual pitches 8’ 4’ 2’ and no mixture work. There was a single independent pedal rank at 16’, all other ranks merely being coupled from the manual.

The new organ, generously donated by the late Captain Anthony Wilks is based upon the specification of the popular Wyvern C220 designed specifically for smaller village churches. This organ has been built with 27 ranks that include two Mixtures and 16' reed on the Swell. The existing pipe organ case is retained and has been adapted to install the five-channel audio system to retain the clean lines and symmetry of the building.


“The Church are loving the new organ. I played it for them at the special Dedication Service – their Choir sang the Hallelujah Chorus and we hade the Coronation version of the Old100th – for which the Solo Trumpet got fully “displayed”!! It is clearly a great success!! It is so incredibly close to the pipe sound.”
