Indeed it is! Thanks for watching 👍🎹
A lovely organ with some beautiful delicate stops that are to die for! I hope, now that people have seen the organ on your video it'll get a little bit of love and a service.

I was very pleasantly impressed with this organ! I’ll certainly be back to have another play ‘off camera’ 👍🎹😊

Thank you 👍🎹
What a delightful sound. Lovely dark textures. The lower compass notes in both Swell snd Great departments are so characterful they sound like pedal ranks.

Thanks for watching 👍🎹
For an organ that's over a hundred years old, the key board looks almost new ?! Anyway, another great video. Thanks.

I thought that! I think it must have had work carried out in the 2018 overhaul. Thank for watching 👍🎹
I’m so glad you’re back!!!! But I will say, the out of tune with headphones was simply painful! Haha! Great video as always, love!

You can’t beat tracker action in my humble opinion. It would sound amazing following a good tune 👍🎹
the organ does have a good strong sound with very good voicing and superb tonal quality athought it definitely needs a tune and a service to fix the cypher isses on the notes not working on the horn stop as well as the tremulant speed overall a very nice organ that deserves to be played more regularly if the church does get a organist interested in playing this fine organ
Very nice. Good to see you back. We were recently in the church at Clumber Park. The organ spec was detailed and framed on the wall so I took a pic which I will email to you. I did not get a pic of the organ (service due to start) of which half was way up in the loft and other was in the chancel.

I went to the Clumber Park one years ago but can’t remember the exact details. May well be worth a visit/video 👍🎹
Lovely organ! I wish they could swap the Hohl Flute to the Great and the Rohr Flute to the Swell

…and tune it 😊👍🎹
Lovely, a bit of a shame, but hope it will be used a bit more. What was that piece you were playing at the end and after the Great Demo?

Another one I’ve been trying to access for quite some time, although I have played it in the past. Drop me an email if you have contact information please? 🙏 👍🎹
May I offer some acoustic feedback: humbly suggest you thread a lapel mic under your shirt and clip to your collar! To hear you, I have to turn up the volume but knock it back when you play .

Thank you for your humble and helpful suggestion. I’ll bear that in mind 👍🎹
The church have no excuse for not keeping that organ tuned and maintained!!! Even if the organ isn’t used very much. It sounds a disgrace being so much out of tune. They may or may not be interested in engaging an organist but I can’t imagine they would have much to play with the use of modern evangelical worship songs etc. most of which are not suitable for organ accompaniment.
