David Drinkell 0 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Salamine Report post 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.

Ryan Cannell 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David Coram 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
