In the first episode of Chiff Chat - The Organ Podcast, Ben chats to Richard McVeigh from the TH-cam channel 'Beauty in Sound'.
We discuss Hauptwerk organs, touring around the country recording various cathedrals, find out what Richard's ideas of organ heaven and organ hell are, and try to find a stop name for every letter of the alphabet!

Very good. I enjoyed all of that, especially the humour. 👍🏻

[@sjp3agc]

Really enjoyable - thanks! Look forward to the next one.

Enjoyed the chat very much . . . though thought there was more leathered diapason tone than chiff. Interesting, legato conversation, a good mix of serious principal chorus and toccatina fun, and you are good at interviewing, Ben, because you listen and do not seek to dominate someone else's flue chorus with constant contra bombarde en chamade blasts . . .
Organ Stop Alphabet Game: 'A' and 'J' -
Wakefield Cathedral has an Acuta (Mixture 26.29);
The Friesach Organ (Orgelbau Eisenbarth 2000) has an 8' Jubalflöte.

Many thanks, Ben and Richard, for a most interesting and informative hour of easy listening. Looking forward to future issues.
