James Jepson Binns
 

J.J. Binns (1855-1929) was without a doubt one of the most successful organ builders of his time in the Yorkshire region in England, of which there were a considerable number of back then.

He apprenticed at Radcliffe & Sagar in Leeds, in order to work for Abbot & Smith after his apprenticeship. There he worked from 1873-1880, primarily in voicing.

In 1880 he founded his own company, protegéed from J.W. Broughton from Leeds, who was well-known at the time. His most prosperous times peaked between 1890 and the First World War.
