| Note: | Organ 'projected' by the builder, but never built. |
An organ designed in 1882 by George William Trice (1848-1920), a Scottish organ builder who settled in Genoa, Italy. It was never built, but because of its extraordinary specifications (plus its extensive discussion in Keys to the Kingdom) the specs have been left up on the POCP Website, as a ‘spurious installation’.
Had it been built, these would have been.
