    Haha love the context! And I bet the builders are saying “That bleedin organist is making a racket, and those old dears having coffee and biscuits.”
    And I bet the coffee morning brigade are saying “Those rowdy builders and that noisy organist! Can’t we have a cuppa in peace?” 😁😁

      It’s a lovely one, but you’d expect nothing less from a Harrison & Harrison 👍🎹

    Another nice little instrument, ive passed many of these old churches you have visited over the years. Never thought about the beautiful organs inside them. Its shame that the costs prohibit most of them from being kept in good order. Nice video, keep them coming.

      I never drive past a church without wondering what organ is inside. Whether I can get in to find out is another matter 👍🎹

    Very good sound overall, nice and warm but plenty of clarity! It’s a shame the Sub Bass wasn’t working!

      It is a shame. It seems to be a fault which will hopefully be remedied soon 👍🎹

    I like that hymn at the beginning. I remember playing it at my church when I was "organist" during college. 🙂

      ‘We have a gospel to proclaim’ (Tune: Fulda) was the start hymn. The one midway through the video was ‘O Praise Ye the Lord’ 👍🎹

    Beautiful little organ. Harrisons turned out so many of these tiny instruments but unlike some builder's work you can hear the care that went into the voicing. Thank you for persevering with the noise! Reminds me of old practice nights... only thing missing was the bellringers :)

    Nice "little" organ. It's very similar to the H&H I have in my barn in France, but that doesn't seem so little! Tonally very similar to mine, and the console is almost identical.

    The cornopean sounds more like an oboe than a trumpet

      It may do on my inadequate recording system but certainly sounds cornopean in person 👍🎹

    I really liked the sound of this organ and I thought the case was interesting too. I just loved that beautiful stained glass window above the alter. I suppose it's a stupid question, but why on earth did you do your video when there was so much going on? Surely there would have been a time when your very short video could have taken place when there were no gremlins about? Anyway thanks for the video.

    An interesting instrument. Is there a lot of borrowing among the ranks? It sounds likely.

    • @OrganicVisitations
      @OrganicVisitations  4 месяца назад

      I don’t think so…it all seems to be independent ranks. Nice organ and sorry about the background noise 🙄👍🎹

      @@OrganicVisitations thanks I thought perhaps the 16’ on the great might have been borrowed from the pedal division, and of course the super octave coupler on the great could be an extension of the principal.

    @davidcraggs3770 5 месяцев назад

    The church should have informed you that the noise would have been present or the workmen asked to take a break for 10-15 minutes to allow you to record the video. I wouldn’t have put up with it.
