      The Lewis At Teddington

      By Now and Then · Posted

      Greetings folks, this is my very first post as a new member.

      Lewis At St. Alban Teddington - Pre Vandal Destruction Do members have any first-hand experience of this sad instrument, please?

      I played it just once in 1963 but can't recall the experience except to say that I remember there wasn't a case, so building frame, chests and pipework were laid bare.

      Furthermore, I recall bee's buzzing around the console, because they had made nests in the bricked-up unfinished west wall. The Willis 3 console - if my memory serves me well - occupied a space in the western-end of the south nave aisle. The instrument was located in the eastern end of the north nave aisle. So presumably was moved from its pre-war north chancel position, perhaps post WWW2.
      Overall though, a sense of being unloved and unfinished of church building and organ was felt.

      Please share your memories.

      An unexpected move in the right direction from the BBC!

      Indeed it is, but then Passau is 5 organs (main, north aisle, south aisle, choir and echo in the loft!) and it manages with (only) 5 manuals! My design for a hypothetical organ consists of two organs, each with 6 manual divisions and having only 4 manuals! Incidentally, I often find such translations a little amusing.  In this case (Waldsassen) Holzregal 16' is translated into Wooden Shelf 16'!
