The Cinema Organ Society has over twenty-five years experience of planning and carrying out theatre organ installations and in doing so has developed a reputation for knowhow and quality. Projects include Wurlitzer pipe organ installations in the Ritz Ballroom Brighouse and, subsequently, the Victoria Hall Saltaire and Compton pipe organ installations in St. Martin's School Solihull and, subsequently, Fentham Hall, Hampton-in-Arden.
The Society has experience of heritage aspects of theatre organ installations, regarding both the instruments and the buildings they are located in. Recent cases include acting in an advisory capacity to Westminster City and to Waltham Forest Councils concerning Listed Building Consent applications affecting theatre pipe organs.
