Letter: British organs in a class of their own
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: While I was interested to read your article (Weekend, 2 October) about the new Klais organ in St John's, Smith Square, 'the Mercedes of the Organ World', I do feel that you should have made some comment in defence of British organ builders, seen by so many people throughout the world as the Rolls-Royce of the Organ World.
At a time when the UK is already buying far too much in the way of imported goods, what happened to such internationally famous names as Harrison and Harrison, Noel Mander, J. W. Walker et al, who are considered by so many people, both here and abroad, as the best there is?
Yours faithfully,
