OK, on a similar track, who would like to put forward some suggestions for what will become a real project in the near future. Below is the current stop list for the organ at the church where I'm organist and choirmaster. The action is electric, and the console is detached, sited with the choir. The church seats about 200 in a traditional cruciform shape with wooden victorian pews, but a plastered ceiling so a reasonable acoustic. Ignoring any limitations that space or cost my impose, what do people think is missing from this stop list for an instrument who's primary role is to accompany the liturgy and choir in a church with traditional liturgy (Common Worship Sung Eucharist, BCP Choral Evensong weekly, no music group!)
If anyone wants to guess at how much their additions would cost, feel free!
