Leeds City Council is seeking contributions towards the cost of refurbishing the town hall's organ.
People are being given the chance to sponsor one of the 6,000 pipes on Leeds Town Hall's organ to help fund the restoration of the 70-tonne instrument.
Each of the 15m-tall organ's pipes will be up for grabs, from the smallest at 0.6m , up to its towering 4.9m pipes.Matthew Sims, Leeds City Council's head of arts, said the organ has a "unique role in the story of Leeds." One of the largest instruments of its kind in the world, the organ was played at the opening of the town hall in 1858, which was attended by Queen Victoria.as part of a £1.8m scheme and replacing much of its ageing mechanism, giving it "a fuller and more integrated sound", the council said.
