Michael!
Below see a picture of the organ case at New Hall, Ennis, Co. Clare. According to Bence-Jones, it is not an organ at all but a baroque cupboard in the form of an organ.
The house was built by Charles MacDonnell, MP, c. 1764 to a design possibly by Francis Bindon. The cupboard is in the octagonal doric hall -where the MacDonnell crest appears in the metopes.
Thanks for sharing that. It looks fantastic, I never realised that it was jnst a cupboard!
