Guest Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral, Edinburgh: Great Stopped Diapason. I agree entirely.
David Drinkell Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 There have been a few, but last week when I was on holiday in the UK, I encountered a beautiful Stop'd Diapason on the new Peter Bumstead organ (based on an instrument of about 1840 from a Methodist church in Draycott, Somerset) at Brundish Church, Suffolk. Apart from the aforesaid SD, it's a very nice little job altogether, with a simple but effective case based on the Sutton one at Great Bardfield. It's just appeared on NPOR: http://www.npor.org.uk/cgi-bin/Rsearch.cgi...ec_index=K00988
John Sayer Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 Aa-Kerk, Groningen - any of the stopped flutes. JS
msw Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 The Great Bourdon 16' at Selby - put it up an octave and it "outflutes" any of the others!
AJJ Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 The Choir Lieblich Gedeckt at Lincoln Cathedral. A
Guest Salamine Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 The Great Bourdon 16' at Selby - put it up an octave and it "outflutes" any of the others! Indeed - I almost invariably find that H and H Great Organ Bourdons are much better played out of normal range, much more useful (especially on their smaller 2 - 3 manual instruments) - often less hooty than their Great organ flutes.
MusingMuso Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Aa-Kerk, Groningen - any of the stopped flutes. JS =============================== The Aaaaaaaaah-kerk.......what a gorgeous instrument that is. Does anyone know the what, when and how's of the restoration? MM
ross cobb Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 The Choir Claribel flute at King's Cambridge. Brings a lump to the throat.
handsoff Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 The Claribel flute on the south Choir Organ at St Paul's cathedral is also a wondrous stop. Not that I have played it
James Goldrick Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 If we're including open flutes - The Gt. Hohl Flute on the Norman & Beard at Christ Church Cathedral, Newcastle.
... Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 The Gedackt 8 on the positiv of Buckfast Abbey has a good edge to it I think. St. Margaret Pattens in London has some gorgeous flutes too, but I couldn't give a clear winner overall.
David Coram Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 There is a little village just north of Salisbury called West Lavington, wherein resides a 2m Bishop and Starr of c. 1860, which has a Great Clarabella of simply remarkable quality. Rather like a pear drop, it's uniformly smooth and sweet but there is just a mere hint of the best sort of acidity. Incidentally, the same instrument also has the most charming 4' Flute I have ever encountered.
