Certainly Polly wolly doodle and Dixie. I would have to go back through and write them all down. As the organ is a 20 note John Smith, the roll is probably one of Melvyn Wrights. MW has an excellent web site.
Hi Powaybob, I agree that I am playing a little fast, but then this is literally the second playing of the organ and my pulse is still going almost 200 !!! Is the big organ on your site a John Smith 26 note ? If so are they the standard pipes playing. I hear one set that are quite a unique sound (almost trumpet like) and was wondering how they differ from the standard pipe construction ?
Yes, I know the feeling when it first works and you know you haven't been wasting your time for months! Mine is the JS-26. I added an extra rank of violin pipes. They have a distinctive bright sound. They are much narrower than flute pipes, and have a metal "frein" that stabilizes the sound.
Whats this roll called?

Quite a medley of tunes here I think.

Sounds good. Slow down a little. Rolls are expensive, no need to rush through it. ;-)
