Greyfriars Kirk organ (Peter Collins), 1990
Further information about the specification of this organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register owned by the British Institute of Organ Studies.
The University concert on 20 November 2015 was dedicated to the memory of Peter Collins, who sadly passed away on 24 October 2015. He built the Greyfriars organ in 1990 in conjunction with the late Michael Chibbett, then Greyfriars organist and so the instrument was 25 years old in 2015; much of the musical activity in Greyfriars in that year was in celebration of the organ. Peter, who built organs over a period of 40 years both in the UK and in Europe, was a highly-respected craftsman and a personal friend to many organists, including Douglas Hollick, who has recorded the Greyfriars instrument.
