Thanks all. It’s an historic organ that long predates the A=440 standard.
I was going to politely decline the invite (it’s only in a week or so, meaning I don’t have time to transpose and rearrange all the pedal charts). However, the string players are also very uncomfortable with this – especially the cellists with 19th century instruments which don’t have the tolerance for A458 tuning. I think the plan is either to hire a chamber organ, or ask the organist to transpose down a semitone and for us to play slightly flat – thanks to Charles-Nix above for the calculations!
I spent two years playing my Daphne 46S in community orchestras and it was certainly able to be heard, although a bit easier now I have a CG harp.
I often ignored the dynamics (playing pp was pointless!!) but it worked fine. It might have struggled in a full orchestra, but community orchestras are usually a bit smaller. Your SE should be even stronger than the S, so go for it!
