I played this organ when I was about 18. It really is a fantastic organ - a gem for Bristol.

Music is timeless. Colston Hall's is a place I would love to be. In Dallas Texas, the concert hall was built with this very same shoe box design. hmm.... I wonder from where those ideas came? I keep digging. Nonetheless, I wished I were there to feel and enjoy the full experience. You leave me only after I have not heard upward to 200 human voices and the organ with that experience. And to that end, indeed I do wonder what is behind the curtains. The music first and foremost, with and without choirs, after at least an hour after the final end, departing to see what was behind those curtains. I truly thank you for what's there and what I've seen. I shall be watching...my curiosity is now a blaze.

Go to Colston Hall and play the Interstellar theme tune on that organ. Has to be done.

The previous organs were visually more interesting. Why couldn't they just reproduce what was there before?

A very under recorded instrument, sadly.

It's a rather dry acoustic for an organ to sound any good.

@@smudger671 The acoustic in the reopened hall is different now. I hope when the organ returns it will be used for more than one recital a year and sometimes in orchestral concerts, which was the pattern immediately before the hall closed for the refit.

The Harrison 4 manual built in 1952 for the large assembly Room at Harrow School would be a full rival to this instrument. It is still there, having been rebuilt about 19 years ago. Very versatile, but will also support the whole school in song.

3-minutes of talk with 30-seconds of music, repeat to fill the time... :-(
