Christine Jose Rigby Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Some images and sound-samples* from this unique studio-organ, designed by and built for, internationally-acclaimed teacher, organ consultant, and recitalist, Roger Fisher. Following his retirement from professional engagements, the instrument is now offered for sale. (Guide-price: £8,000.00, with the purchaser responsible for removal.) Interested parties should contact Philip on prushforth539@gmail.com (* Pieces used in the video, in order: Elegy - Harold Darke (1888 - 1976) Méditation - Maurice Duruflé (1902 - 1986) Monologue in C - Josef Rheinberger (1839 - 1901)) The music is played by Roger.

Martin Cooke Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 But so sad that the time has come for Roger to part with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwillans Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Beautiful looking and sounding instrument, and seemingly a bargain price for someone with the space. I particularly like the glass swell shades which I haven't seen on any other instrument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowland Wateridge Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 And another in a small Hampshire village, Fair Oak, where the organ by George Sixsmith, a versatile instrument (of only four ranks, I think), has vertical glass swell shutters.
