I'm certain that Contrabombarde doesn't mean that at all.
Oops I see what he means now.

That's some performance and some organ all right.
What are the funny metal pokey up things in the video in between the wooden pipes at around 1 min 34? Some type of hook to hold them upright?
If you mean the metal flaps attached to the the tops of the open wood pipes, that is how they are tuned.

Just to add to the information on the family's shops, they traded as Rushworths Music House Limited and were in Liverpool, Chester, Birkenhead and Southport and the MD was David Rushworth.

I'm only a lurker but 'Good to see you again Colin', seconded. Looking forward to learning some more from your posts.

Don't know why I didn't think of this first, but this is the photo...

Does any kind reader still have a copy of this and can tell me what organ the rear cover fold out photograph is of? I've kept it, but have no idea why.
Thanks

For my ARCO I used to work through Riemenschneider's Bach chorales for both sight reading and transposition and I see the volume is still available here for a bargain £10 for 371 harmonized chorales.

It shows 50 degrees as the angular separation between the box open and box closed positions, plus other dimensions.
I have what is probably the same document, but I read the angle as 50 degrees above horizontal when box is closed and my copy of the AGO specification I read as 41 degrees from vertical but with no indication of box position, however I am no expert in reading technical drawings...

Don't look too hard - it ended on Thursday at £63. There's another on ebay though, in Anglesey, found in a barn!

I find the best funeral fees on a freelance basis can got from services where you are booked direct by the Funeral Director and you negotiate the fee with them. These days they are often so grateful if they can find someone who even knows that the manuals are played with the hands and the pedals with the feet!

Seriously, how bad is it now? I haven't played, other than at home, for over 25 years so am really out of touch. Maybe I should make myself known to the powers that be and earn a few extra pennies.

If you want to ask them, their address is The Paper Place, 71 Eachlehurst Road, Sutton Coldfield Tel 0121 351 1307
They are a newagents and their address is different. Are you sure they're one and the same?

Only £11.69 at Amazon UK (PAL R2) and £9.99 at HMV (unspecified format/region)

Interesting! I see one member quotes his Church fee as '£80 (or bottle of gin for friends)', a Portugese member's fee looks suspiciously like he prefers payment in wine or port and a JS Bach of Leipzig charges 60 Kr.

Simon, I regret that I too will be unable to make it tonight.

Although very much into digital conversions these days but very close to you is Ron Coates of Classic Organs at Boxhill.

Please also count me in and thanks for the offer Simon.

This looks to be quite an appealing specification with something of a sticky future ahead.
"2008 - organ to be removed Jan. 2009 and scrapped unless another home
can be found; (DPi);"
I understand it's being dismantled w/c 12 January and then going to Abertillery in Wales

To answer the 'no commentary' hopes, as a freeview viewer the best options I can find for me are
1) BBC1 HD with various people chatting about what I am seeing but unable to hear properly
OR
2) BBC iPlayer with no commentary
so I shall record option 1 and watch option 2 on the day
