    1. Welcome to the Mander Organ Builders Forum

       

      Updated 27th August 2020

      F H Browne & Sons ltd is delighted to announce that it has acquired the trading name and intellectual property rights of Mander Organs Ltd. From 1st October 2020 F H Browne (Organ Builders) Ltd will revert to trading under the name Mander Organ Builders for all current and future contracts.
      Both companies are based in South East England, and three of the current FHB employees (including myself) are former employees of Mander Organs, so there are immediate synergies.

      We are delighted to have made this transition and look forward to working with our present and future customers both in the UK and Internationally.

      It is also confirmed that his forum will continue as it is now.

      Stephen Bayley
      Managing Director

    • I can sympathise with that. I also play in rural France although, I suspect, in a slightly different circumstance than you!!  Why is it that, in the UK, we are required to stick with the prescribed texts of the Common and yet, in France they seem to be able to sing paraphrases of the text. And, yes, some of the music is awful! I'm lucky in that i play, on a monthly basis, at a large monastery  Mass begins with a procession around the cloister so no music from the organ at the beginning. That is followed by the Latin Plainsong for the day accompanied by organ. After that the Mass continues in French but with the Common, one week in the vernacular, the other week being Latin Plainsong. I'm playing on Easter day when we have a mixture of French and Latin Plainsong (with the long Plainsong Alleluia - Pascha nostrum immolatus est Christus preceding the Gospel) And I get to play a Sortie at the end following the Priest singing "Allez dans la paix du Christ Alleluia" we sing, loudly, with organ, "Nous rendons grace a Dieu, Alleluia, Alleluia" Happy Easter, Andrew - when it comes!!!
    • The church where I will be playing on Easter Day in rural France, always have a group playing traditional instruments to play the "voluntaries" at Easter.  I just get to accompany the usual (often liturgically-incorrect) drivel.
    • Perhaps everyone is practising for Easter!!! I know I am!!!
    • Well, it has gone relatively quiet on here this past week. Has everyone gone on holiday? Here's side two of Reg Dixons "Classics of Jazz" record played on the 1929 205sp Wurlitzer of the Tower Ballroom, Blackpool. My Blue Heaven, Sweet Sue and Some of These Days all played in typical Dixon fashion.
