Lovely little organ I must say

[@OrganicVisitations]

I was surprised how nice it was 👍😊

Lovely sounding organ. It's being well looked-after, nicely on speech and pretty much perfectly in tune. A credit to whoever maintains it. Interestingly according to NPOR, the two 2ft stops are recent additions - one on the Great taking the place of a Dulciana, the one one the Swell taking the place of the stop you were looking for - an Oboe - both of which would have been far more usual for an organ of that vintage. As always, thank you for posting this delightful little instrument.

I love watching you! I really hope you feel like you're coming into your own as a KZbin presenter. You've always been good, but you look like you're feeling more comfortable! I also love that you do many smaller instruments and highlight the lesser-seen organs in the UK. P.S.: I recently used a 16' Reed and Principal on the manuals in a hymn and giggled as I thought of how much you'd cringe! haha! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!!

Beautiful instrument , I noticed when I watched it was your voice was a bit quiet. you could do with a microphone a bit nearer to you. Enjoyed it anyway, best wishes and keep it up.

[@OrganicVisitations]

Yes, must invest in a better mic. Thanks as ever for watching 👍😊

Very good little organ. Unfortunately with no 4ft Flute anywhere. The inclusion of the Great Fifteenth in place of the Dulciana was a very wise move. I am a little more skeptical about taking away the Swell Oboe for the Piccolo though because the organ has no Reed, which adds power to the tone of a smaller organ like this one.

[@darobzamusic6007]

usually, actually, these organns around 150-100 years old had swell divisions only go down to tennor c, so the swell would have been probably extended at some point, but a coupler not added on.

[@benjamindaniel8467]

Another great video. I particularly liked the Swell Viol d’Orchestre. On balance I might favour a good Oboe in lieu of the Swell 2 ft. It’s not uncommon to find two manual instruments without a Swell to Pedal coupler. Hill did this on smaller instruments where the swell pipes only go down as far as tenor C and the bottom octave sounds the Gt Stopped Diapason. It seems odd not to have that coupler when you’re used to it but, as always, it’s a case of thinking about how to use the organ for best effect.

Thank you for watching and for your helpful comments 👍😊

Yeah, coughing into your hands and then touching the keys, That's not good. I would have coughed into where my arm bends. That way no germs get transferred from your hands to the keys.

[@OrganicVisitations]

If it’s any consolation, I always clean they keys/stops before and after use, for my health and safety and that of others, particularly in our current climate 👍
