On the subject of registrants - I recently saw a DVD of Jos vd Kooy playing St Bavo. His two registrants were utterly on the ball and amazing to watch. Clearly an art form in its own right.
I can also remember a film of Gillian Weir playing the Widor at St Sulpice with two stop assistants. She described playing with two supporters as 'going on a journey together...'.
I wonder how many organists got their first seat on an organ bench by being a page turner/stop boy? I can well remember doing this as a boy chorister. It was the start of my love affair with the organ!
