oak is 'enhanced by fine carving, adding much to the beauty of the chancel'. Most of the instrument is the one originally constructed for this church by Hele & Co of Plymouth in 1894 at a cost of £750. At that time, the Choir and some slides on the Great and Swell were only "prepared for". In 1926 it was given a clean and overhaul by Henry Speechly & Sons of London, who also added the Choir stops and soundboard, the reed stops at 16' and 4' on the Swell, 8' on the Great, and 16' on the Pedal. They also installed the electric blower to replace the hand blowing apparatus previously used. In 1950, Roger Yates of Michaelstow cleaned all the pipe work, and added the Swell Tremolo, the Pedal 4' Nachthorn, and the pneumatic relay to enable the Pedal Quint to be derived from the Bourdon/Bass Flute rank. The work carried out by Yates is regarded as some of the finest work in Cornwall. Yates was trained by Henry Willis III (of Henry Willis & Sons), he was a master of his craft, both through his work with Henry Willis and Sons and also in his own name. Yates was also responsible for the fine organ in Newquay Parish Church, lost in a fire in 1993. Another example of his work is that of the organ in Kilkhampton Parish Church. When voicing the organ at All Saints' he made full use of the resonance of the building, he voiced the organ to the acoustic of the building rather than voicing it to his preferred choice. Roger opened up the Great Diapason Chorus, pushing the pipework to its limit, (as was and is the Willis technique) thus creating a very bright and powerful chorus. The bright fifteenth (a Willis trademark) compensates for the lack of Great Mixture. The Twelfth and Fifteenth drawn together are a force not to be reckoned with, therefore making the chorus speak as if there were a Mixture in place. Roger also blended and voiced the reeds, particularly the swell reeds. It is believed that his idea was to match the swell of the superb Father Willis organ of Truro Cathedral. The organ has always been regarded as one of the finest in the county (and perhaps further afield) as it was stated to be second only to the one in Truro Cathedral (RCG, 1894),
