Pierre Lauwers Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Thanks, Paul, I shall need *hours* with this very interesting page. Yes these consoles will interest someone the other side of the pound. I prefer to enjoy the Holtkamp's façades, I like them very much!

JJK Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 http://www.willis-organs.com/news01.html Look at the 4 manual console on this page. I would love to know who has it in their house. All that ivory! And what is it connected to??? JJK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Willis Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 http://www.willis-organs.com/news01.html Look at the 4 manual console on this page. I would love to know who has it in their house. All that ivory! And what is it connected to??? JJK <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nice, ain't it! It belongs to Mr. Paul Smith, The Secretary of the Ally Pally Appeal, connected to the installation built specifically for him by Musicom. The specification is almost exactly that of St. George's Hall, Liverpool. The 'blacking' took forever to do, but worth the trouble and effort I think. We now have another order for a similar console but can't say for where I'm afraid - at least, not yet. David Wyld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Dutfield Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Nice, ain't it! The 'blacking' took forever to do, but worth the trouble and effort I think. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's absolutely beautiful, and the sort of thing that makes me think it would will me to play better if I were sat at it! Just as a point of interest - and not asking you to give away any professional secrets - how do you achieve that highly polished 'ebonised' look?

Noticeable how few entries there are for the UK. We're such a conservative lot, aren't we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have to dig around a little....bear with me. MM <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ============================== I found the goose organ! Here's what to do. Click on the following link:- http://staff.elka.pw.edu.pl/~wkaminsk/ Then click on "find a city" Then click on 'DOMANIEWICE' where a tiny thumb-nail photo will appear. Then click on the thumb-nail and all will be revealed. When you've stopped laughing, the goose is some sort of Polish national symbol, a bit like our bull-dog.

(Sorry) MM <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Her name was Lady. She ate two steering wheels, some hand-brakes levers, one chair, one amplifier split into two parts, not to mention carpets etc. A true british gentlewoman! She lived 12 years, an excellent score for that dog. Pierre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
