Sounds perfect for hymn playing - adding the Horn to the full organ would make a great Full Organ for the last verse of some hymns. Keep up the good work!
Good to see you back! Splendid little instrument although it always saddens me that such lovely manual pipework only has a slow, twelfth-y Bourdon for accompaniment. As they've unified the chests it would have been easy to duplicate the Dulciana onto the Pedal - it would have been very useful to give a bit of definition even to full organ. Still, A&S turned out some fine work and I think it was a good idea to put that rather nice Horn back on the Swell - it fits the chorus nicely. Thank you for posting, looking forward to the next!
Agreed - yes, it’s all unified, and I’ve had ideas for a couple of other useful derivations but sadly we’re limited by the fixed configuration of the K-A solid state switching boards…
Thanks, another great video and yes, the organ sounds lovely. On a personal note, I take it you have ditched the glasses? Keep it up, we just love your visitations.
Very nice, and surprising that the church is in an unassuming house, and where those your pictures when it was being restored, or worked on, and what was the first piece you played in the intro?
The church building was a house many years ago but was converted into a church. Lovely grounds and building! The pictures were sent to me by Andrew, the organist, who was recently working on the organ. The opening piece was the hymn tune ‘Golden Sheaves "To Thee, O Lord, Our Hearts We Raise"’ by Arthur Sullivan. One of my favourite Harvest hymns (and my funeral hymn, by the way…not that I’m in a rush)
Great video. Thanks for showcasing the organ - you certainly put it through its paces! Looking forward to the next one. We must treasure all these wonderful instruments.
Splendid Organ for accompaniment of the hymn singing and liturgy. The Trumpet Rank could have been revolved if it had been considered too loud, saving the cost of installing the Horn in the Swell organ. The only other suggestion would be a Twelfth or Mixture somewhere.
How lucky we are to have such a wonderful organ to facilitate worship on Sundays
You are indeed! 👍🎹

It’s a cracker! Loved playing this organ, although I would have the thumb pistons set up differently (but I don’t play it every Sunday)
A very nice organ!
It sure is!

Thank you! I’ve reverted back to my contact lenses for a while 🤓 👍🎹

@@OrganicVisitations Ah thanks

Thanks for allowing me to visit, Andrew! Must do a follow up at some point 👍🎹

Agree! Particularly that a Twelth would be a nice addition. Overall a lovely organ 👍🎹
@@OrganicVisitationsI have predictive text on my phone, I meant to say that the Trumpet could have been Revoiced not Revolved !!!
I realised what you meant, even at 5am this morning when I answered 😴 😀👍🎹
Lovely video as always!!!! ❤
Thank you OG 😊👍🎹
Sorry, but I would get the trumpet pipes out of storage 🤫 I find the horn too harsh for accompaniment.
It is a bit harsh, but boy it has some power. It would be interesting to hear what the Trumpet sounded like…👍🎹
