Belfast, United Kingdom (Antrim) - Ulster Hall, Mulholland Grand Organ
Municipal: Belfast
Region:Ulster
Description nr.: 2003195.
Built by: William Hill & Sons (1861)
Het William Hill-concertorgel in Ulster Hall aan Bedford Street in Belfast is in 1978 door Noel Mander gerestaureerd en grotendeels omgebouwd. Het orgel werd oorspronkelijk in 1861 gebouwd en was een geschenk van Andrew Mulholland, burgemeester van Belfast, aan de stad. In 1903 is het instrument onder advies van A.L. Peace uitgebreid, eveneens door Hill. In 1982 voegde Mander een Fanfare Trumpet toe aan het Solo Organ. Philip Prosser installeerde in 1988 een electronisch sequence-systeem. In 1996 voerde Prosser een revisie uit en werden enkele tongwerken opnieuw geïntoneerd.
