John Smith Organs

Organ Events - Places to see John's organs in action




This page lists events happening across 2025
  where you can see a range of small mechanical organs in action.

It is hoped that a number of John Smith organs will be at the listed events.
If you are travelling to an event to see a particular organ,
please send us an email in advance
so we can confirm that ourselves
or another builder of  a John Smith organ will be there.

Please note that all events carry an entrance fee,
so please check out the relevant websites for further details. 


Organ builders, and particularly those who have built a John Smith organ
are usually delighted to talk about the subject,
and relate details of their own build process,
so you don't need to be shy about asking questions!
