A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Sweetland, W.

by Victor de Pontigny

SWEETLAND, W., established an organ factory at Bath, in 1847. The Church of St. Cuthbert (Wells, Somerset) and the Wesleyan Chapel in Cardiff contain instruments of his making. He also built a chamber organ in his own house, for which he has invented a mechanism whereby the Voix celeste, or tremulant, can be applied to, or withdrawn at pleasure from, a solo stop.
