Good to see information about the Clayesmore organ here. Not sure you're right about extensions on the positive, but the 4ft great reed is an extension of the 8ft and there is also some (poor) extension work on the swell. The great mixture is overwhelming at close quarters and the positive cymbal a nonsense. The organ is presently under review. I gave a recital at St Peter's Parkstone last year and loved it! Great fun and very satisfying to play, certainly from a non-purists point of view.
