    nicholsons organ builders are now located in leigh sinton just down the road from where i live and my local church st edburga down in leigh has a superb nicholson organ i play it just for enjoyment now it has a very rich tonal quality aside from this nicholson organ the organ in my local church has a lovely oboe on the swell and a swell to great sub octave which really adds some power to the sound

    Ive rung the bells here and thought it looked a nice organ. Good to hear it played!

    Nice sounding organ which is obviously more than adequate for its role as an accompaniment to the congregational singing. I sounds well maintained and tuned. I have a feeling that it may have had a couple of tonal changes since it was built.

    I'm no expert but the Swell Oboe sounds like a Trumpet to me. Nice organ and nice video.

    Yes, I agree: I will have to invest some stage in the future. All the audio coverage of the organ itself was captured by an ipone 8 half way done the nave. Better results than one would expect from that, but still leaving much to be desired! H.

    The later iPhones record audio in stereo. And they actually sound pretty good!

    Many thanks for your excellent demonstration of this rather lovely Gray & Davison Organ. It really does have a nice balance and I would imagine it suits that type of building well. Some very nice sounding stops and it would appear to be in good condition

    Thanks for this. My father was Vicar there from 1964, so good to learn more about the place and the organ. I must go back to visit. The organist at the time was Bill Arkinstall.

    Well done! I appreciated the stops individually. I was wondering further what stops might have been on the three composition pedals and whether they would have been named, such as Plein Jeu or Grand Jeu, etc.? (I'm assuming the selection is fixed on an organ of that age, and not changeable). Cheers!

    The three composition pedals mechanicaly move the stops on the Great division. They are not normally named in the UK, and in this case the pedal on the L.H. side draws more or less the full great inc. mixture and clarinet. I belive the middle one drew the graet Diapasons 8,4&2. The R.H. one I think was just the 8Ft flute and dulciana, but I may be wrong there! They work in both directions; ie adding or removing stops for crescendos or diminuendos. It is also possible to get them changed for different stop combinations (with a screw driver and bits of wood!) although not like modern adjustable combination systems! They are however more adjustable then for example french 'ventils,' which have to stay as built. I will try and do a video on how the combination pedals work in the next few weeks. H.

    Thanks for demo. Maybe some actual music would show off the registrations in a better light. You can improvise well, just give us something that is really musical...

    I teach piano lessons and often have my students play this piece as an introduction to classical style music.🎶🎶🎶 I never thought of this on the organ, but it sounds beautiful. Love the grace notes you have added. Excellent performance 💯. Miss Monique 🙂🌷🙏🕊️
