Hi!

I should be really enjoying this superb playing but there seems to be a problem with the sound quality - sounds underwater . . .

Many thanks for posting your videos anyway

Thanks for your kind words - although I consider I have a lot of practicing to do before my playing can be considered to be anywhere near"superbe"! Sorry you have had problems with the sound quality. I assume you are in a minority, but if you would like to hear the organ at its best, I would draw youir attention to some CDs professionally recorded by Adrian Tuddenham at "poppy records". Several of my pieces are in C, but none sound "underwater" on these records!

Wonderful organ!  Please tell me where are the pipes?

in a chamber 20' long directly behind the console at the other end of the room. You can see the swell shades in video 10.Thanks for commenting!

Hi thanks for writing. The main organ is on 4" water gauge pressure with a solo division on 8" Untill recently my live wind was barely 7" so I hardlyused the solo stops (you can hear the tuba in the Herbert selection) Within the last month, I have replaced the blower with a 3 stage "Rockingham" blower (using two stages) and have a rich supply of wind at 11". Now the solo really SPEAKS! Watch out for new recordings soon.

Do you still use a Kinetic blower, If not what kind and how many inches please.

It sounds great. Oh and the swell also.

Thank you.
