In 1972 a small two rank Chamber Organ was purchased for use in concerts and services.
The organ by Pels and van Leuwan is a single manual instrument with 8', 4', 2' and 1' pitches. The two ranks provide: Gedackt 8' and Roerfluit 4' together with Praestant 2' and Sifflet 1'. The keyboard is split at middle C and duplicate drawstops are provided for both bass and treble. The 2'/1' rank is brightly voiced, making the instrument ideal for use at services with small congregations held in the chancel. It is used regularly at the Men's voices Choral Evensong on Wednesday evenings and the Girls' voices Choral Evensong on Saturdays. A live sound clip of Jonathan Gregory playing a Gavotte by Matthew Camidge can be heard on the RealAudio Clips page.  This track is also featured on the CD "Sing Praise Seraphicwise" which is available from the Cathedral.
