bam 0 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 16 hours ago, Rowland Wateridge said: I was at a recital in Salisbury Cathedral in the mid-1990s given by a well-known player, happily still with us, and suffered the full effects of the Salisbury tuba(s) - plural possible as he may have used the 4’ clarion as well - and very shortly after had a perforated left eardrum with excruciating pain. Nevertheless I greatly admired the Salisbury Father Willis, and still do. HW III left his mark on his grandfather’s organs at St George’s Hall and St Paul’s Cathedral, and I have often wondered whether he did more at Salisbury than Sir Walter Alcock possibly realised. H&H have noted that the recent restoration included removing felt from inside the resonators of the Great reeds. Link to post Share on other sites

I remember some Sweelinck in St George's Hall, Liverpool where the antiphony between chorus reeds and tubas seemed ever so slightly inauthentic? Ian Almost 100% certain it wasn't Biggs. I’m wondering if it might have been Christopher Dearnley. I had only just started learning the organ! Link to post Share on other sites
