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.
