The 80 is a comprehensive four manual and pedal instrument
containing 80 independent speaking stops plus 2 percussions and 3 toy stops. It
is designed to provide almost every facility which might be desired in terms of
specification and tonal resources making it suitable for the playing of music
from any school. In addition to full manual choruses on the Great, Swell, Choir
and Pedal divisions, the Solo contains a full String section in place of the
more common selection of Solo stops which can be found elsewhere in the other
divisions.
Whilst the 80 is fundamentally a Father Willis instrument at
its core, the specification is not like anything that he would have built but
rather more along the lines of what Henry Willis III would have produced in a
mid 20th. century rebuild.
