The new Regent WurliTzer is the largest WurliTzer outside America. It is among the ten largest WurliTzers ever
built by the former North Tonawanda, NY Company. The prominent West Coast organist, the late Richard
Purvis of Grace Cathedral San Francisco, said that the Granada organ was the finest he had ever heard with
the exception of New York's Paramount Theatre WurliTzer. This observation is also backed up by the latest
volume of the Theatre Organ Encyclopedia by Preston Kaufman
The Organ Console Nearing Completion Of Restoration
The Regent WurliTzer is installed in the original chambers which housed the 4/19 (1947) WurliTzer, however
the ceilings were raised to 5.2 Metres, and are now double plaster, with insulation and particle board flooring on
top. New dividing walls have been added, making four organ chambers, previously there were three.
