The internet provides us with a moral dilemma. We can be happy along with those who are celebrating, and if we cannot, we can keep that to ourselves. What a world that would be!
I play at three different churches: one (no service today because of the storm) has six ranks across two manuals and pedals, hand-pumped, charming to look at, lovely paintwork on the big diapasons, and really quite a weak instrument when you have a full church. Another has basically five ranks (but two of them are split), some enclosed and some not, one manual, pedals that are just permanently coupled to the manuals and have no stop of their own, electric blown but weaker still. Both of them are sadly limited in expressive range especially if you want to put out enough sound to lead a congregation with much more than twenty people in it. Either of them cost much more to service than the Viscount at my home parish cost to buy outright; it's now in its fifteenth year of incident-free operation, is good both for my bumbling efforts on any Sunday and to be made to sing by a visiting organist (I've had a Cambridge organ scholar, now moved on to St Martin-in-the-Fields, play Boehlmann on it and it sounded amazing). In terms of sheer capability there is no comparison. If you want "excited" then there is always a steam locomotive. :D
Pipes do take up alot of room, however, there is nothing like a 'pipe organ'😂, but I love 'Nimrod' in the back ground, very beautiful, 😂😂😂❤❤❤
Sad. Another electronic speaker organ. Nothing to be proud or excited about.

@@speecher1959 The church appreciates it and it’s much better sounding than Rogers.
