Walker's organ was a marvel of engineering and craftsmanship. The organ, exhibited under the name of Hyde and Beard, boasted an impressive array of pipes that filled the space with harmonious melodies. The intricate design of the organ's exterior was a testament to the meticulous attention to detail that characterized the work of Banks and Barry. The crystal palace, with its glass and iron structure, was a symbol of innovation and progress during the 1850s. Yet, amidst this modern marvel, the Tudor-style organ stood as a reminder of the past, its timeless beauty captivating visitors from all corners of the world. The organ's adaptation for the hall or music room was a testament to the enduring appeal of traditional design and the power of music to transcend time. As the Great Exhibition drew to a close, J.W.
