I must admit, that having heard the Tickell in the flesh and on recordings, I've always been a bit underwhelmed by it.
It has some lovely individual tonal colours, but the chorus seems a bit bland and homogenous and it lacks any real character.
That said, I've not heard it in person since it was first installed and I expect its "developed" somewhat since then.
Hard to believe it's now over a decade old. I remember the furore over the destruction of its predecessor, the 2001 Adrian Lucas recording of which is a personal favourite of mine.
