Looks lovely. Reminds me of several Georgian churches I used to work in from time to time in London. Where is it, out of interest? And - more to the point -can I unleash my own little organist onto it?
Oh, I love the name on organ stops. When I was little my Mum used to play at church sometimes and I would go with her to practice and sit on the long seat next to her marvelling at all the names on the stops and the immense sound. I love organ music still.
I see I'm not the only one coveting the Swell to Great stop! So jealous that you really got to play it - something I've always wanted a go at but has always been strictly forbidden in chapels I have known.
What fun! My grandmother continued to be a church organist until she was 90. I agree with The List Writer-it was always fun to go with her to the empty church on Saturday and listen to her practice.
Swell to great! Love it.

ReplyDeleteYou're pretty swell to great yourself, old girl.
ReplyDeleteI keep coming back to look at that last photo - genius.
ReplyDeleteThe church I got married in had a harmonium type organ...not exactly sure but it sometimes picked up police messages during mass. Honestly.
