Thank you very much!

Excuse my butting in as I haven't posted in a long while, but does anyone know where I can get a copy of Frank Martin's "Agnus Dei pour orgue"? I should say I've spied a used copy from Canada which will cost around £15 inc shipping, so I was hoping for something closer to home. Many thanks

...that is exactly how I felt on first hearing.... ...I think this must have been the exhibition which I saw at Brighton St Peter (my local church at the time)...

...this would be for their custom built models....

Wyvern Sonata including the reversible toe pistons and departmental pistons

...yes, there was an exhibition of several at our local church many years ago, along with the music, when I'd first become interested in Tournemire - how marvellous that was! I've kept an eye on Tom Walker's paintings since then...

...I keep mine for listening on the train now, although I started by setting myself a quota to listen to at bedtime, but that was a little contrived I fear and soon tailed off!! I bought the Delvallee sets on three consecutive trips to Paris about five years ago (from FNAC)...and no, I personally don't think it's obsessive to listen over and again - and then to continue listening in one's head for weeks on end...

...sorry all, I meant that it's shorter from back to front (I've heard this called 'half size' by another manufacturer!!!) and possibly slightly narrower, but, no, otherwise r&c, 30 notes etc

Hello Dulciana - I have a Wyvern Sonata two manual which I bought in December - although I may not be the best advisor as I'm a beginner. Being rather ancient, I felt I'd absolutely have to have a home practice instrument in order to make any decent progress. However, I'm so delighted with the Sonata. I was a little worried about the size of the pedalboard at first, which is half size, but it's fine and I have little problem transferring to the pipe organ for lessons - the ideal instrument if there are contraints of cost and space...
