Samuel Green built an organ on the pulpitum in 1784: that instrument was relocated to the south triforium of the quire in 1827, and it was here that Henry Willis built a new four-manual instrument in 1886, with a pioneering form of electro-pneumatic action.
During the twentieth century, alterations were made by Norman & Beard and by Henry Willis & Sons. In 1979 N.P. Mander carried out a more radical rebuild, which included removal of the Solo Organ.
Much of Father Willis’s pipework survived these interventions and will form the backbone of the new organ, completed early 2020.
New organ in the quire, retaining some Father Willis pipework.

Glasgow Cottier Theatre
3 manuals, 31 stops.
The organ was built by Henry Willis in 1876 for Dowanhill Parish Church. In 1954 Willis changed the actions to electro-pneumatic and provided a new console; however, the structure and pipework were not changed.
After a period of neglect and vandalism, the organ was removed to Harrisons’ workshop in 2006 with the intention of restoring it to its original state. This has entailed the creation of new tracker actions and Barker machine, new mechanical drawstop and composition actions, and a new console, all strictly in the style of Father Willis and based on contemporary examples. All of the work has been completed, including extensive restoration of damaged pipework.
The church is being converted as the Cottier Theatre. The restored organ has been reinstated in the rear gallery and awaits the completion and commissioning of the theatre.
