Lincoln Cathedral Organ Refurbishment 2017

Harrison and Harrison have completed the planned work on the Father Willis. Originally some pipes had to be removed because of work taking place on the triforium roof.
Some of the organ was taken to the Harrison and Harrison workshop in Durham to protect it whilst work continued. Whilst this was happening the Cathedral took the opportunity to have some maintenance done to the Organ.

great video. Odd that the background music was not in line with what was being discussed.

Would've been nice to hear it play after the restoration!!

Wow that’s amazing that the organist was able to pull off the job playing whilst its disassembly.We went through the 4 weeks assembly however the tuning must’ve been a bigger job.

The background music. Did anyone listen to it before including it? Okay. I'm being snarky. An organ. In a famous cathedral. A story about those with a musical background more suited to an elevator ride.

WELL SAID! Inane shite music and inane commentary from a whining Brummie who doesn't have a clue about organs...

[@andrewhj5511]

Agreed - daft and inane!

[@johnwidmann1674]

I was going to write something similar. Why this canned music? The organ could do this so much better. They have a restored organ. Use it!

[@mikeeverett2006]

I agree with all of you. We had some bozos put junk music on instead of the musical box music of these beautiful machines, I repaired for 30 years and they showed on their Musical Wonder House in Wiscasset, Maine. T.V. movie

Why the horrendous backing musac?

[@colinminton9190]

Thank you for this interesting insight into the maintenance of this great organ. I look forward to hearing it soon.

[@Knappa22]

Oh, and we didn’t hear the organ at the end! What’s that about? This is like making a cooking vid and not showing the finished product.

[@timauger]

What? A video about the organ and we don't hear the organ? Very weird priorities.

[@michaelmiller1215]

I was hoping to hear the organ after being refurbished!

[@Gremlinthecat]

I’m applying for the choir

[@stylusfantasticus]

So the Tutti in a pipe organ sounds like a "full fury of a scorned woman" ....!!!!!

[@garfixit]

Amazing

[@nickwass9700]

Horrid background music!

Is it the place to show your poitrine... Lack of modesty. Disrespectful.
