Pipewatch 3: Meet the Organ Builders
Музыка
The Head Voicer from Harrison and Harrison organ builders explains what he and his colleagues have been doing behind the scenes at Peterborough Cathedral - other than lowering 16 foot pipes to the ground for removal to their workshop in Durham. This is the third in our series of short videos following the story of re-pitching Peterborough Cathedral’s 5286-pipe Hill organ from Old Philharmonic to Standard concert pitch. www.peterborough-cathedral.org...

Thanks for providing this fascinating glimpse into the great work you're doing at Peterborough Cathedral!
Great video. Looking forward to more. Would be interested in a video about the temporary Rodgers organ. An ex choirboy I remember our parish church organ being rebuilt in 1980 and the poor electronic stand-in. But having attended two services at Christmas I thought the Rodgers was pretty impressive. Looked up to the gallery to see an intriguing array of speakers pointing in all sorts of directions, so clearly a lot of effort had gone into the sound design. PS Congratulations to the organist for Christingle on Hark! The Herald. I remember as a choirboy listening out for the organist peaking too early in the last verse and being left with nowhere to go on the last couple of lines. But the registration was perfect. I doubt any organist could have done more to build that verse to such a powerful conclusion on that organ. Outstanding.
An amazing and important job. Many thanks .
Thanks for your encouraging comments. Will pass these on to our video maker and also the Christingle organist. Former choirboys are tuned in to these things!
great !!
Is it a coincidence that 5,286 is the exact number of feet in one mile ?
