<div>Hello, my name is Jenny Gorrod and I'm fundraising for repairs to Tayport Auld Kirk Organ.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tayport’s Auld Kirk is badly in need of repair and refurbishment. People have been generous, but the task of maintaining the much-loved and historic building calls for a sustained income.
</div>
<div>The Auld Kirk’s remarkable organ might provide one, but only if it can be brought back to a playable condition. Made in 1899 by the highly regarded Dundee organ builder John Miller, it is imposing in both quality and size – the south wall of the church had to be extended to fit it in.
</div>
<div>With its quality, power and range the organ has great potential as a concert instrument, with a place in the active organ music following that runs from Perth and Dundee to north Fife and the East Neuk. But not as it is now; not all of its estimated 820 pipes still play. Those that do – the great majority – sound as good as they ever did; and those that don’t can be brought back to life, at a cost.
</div>
<div>About £5,000 would get everything working. A full overhaul would cost much more, and would be necessary in the long run. But simply getting the organ to a playable state would let us put on concerts, and start generating the kind of income needed to maintain both the organ and the church as a whole.
</div>
<div>We – the Auld Kirk Charitable Trust – are aiming to raise the necessary £5,000 by GoFundMe. Once that target is reached and the work is in hand we can start arranging a concert programme, and selling tickets.
