  1. Thinking back to early days trying to find an instrument to practise on, I had to go out of my way to satisfy a real need to learn the music I wanted to play. Without this yearning and perhaps an expectancy for things to fall into ones lap, it may seem more difficult to find a way these days. Those who really do want to practise will usually find some way of doing this - perhaps it has always been thus for organists. Bach (et al), would have required someone to light his way and accompany him up to the organ loft to pump air into the bellows! Who were these unsung heroes? Even Widor would require someone to work the swell-box mechanism at Saint Sulpice. RCF
  2. I can really recommend this site too - excellent and mailings go out to all members every Thursday like clockwork. Robert
  3. I know you don't drink shandy but that's beside the point - How about the RCO following the RSCM to Sarum College situated within the Cathedral Close in Salisbury. Already two practice organs and a library on site... But seriously, this is the first I have heard of all this and find it alarming as an RCO member.
  4. interesting topic this, I have a page on my website which pleads for practice organs in the Salisbury Diocese: www.fromtheshed.bravehost.com/practiceorgans.html maybe a pooling of resources and some publicity for all those youngsters looking for 'safe' churches to practise their Oortmerssen trios!?
