the this is, alot of the mech instruments are not really playing, its just a speaker, but it still is a SPECTACULAR place to go in your free time (if you have the time and money, of course)
@yu235j All of the organs at Thursford play by pipework and compressed air, not like some of the modern Decap danceband organs which play by Hammond organs with simulated accordion sound!
perfect organ,brought to england by oscar grypromnez and family in a guy pantentichon.The organ arrived,george cushing wasn't sure what to do when the grypromnezes called and came to help him build it up
this is the sound how it most have sounded in the past! nice 112key organ with a super art deco style facade. also the 12 3e melody sounds nice . tubemeister77 go see the monkeys :)
i learn quite a bit from more knowledgeable music fans with their comments ,most helpful thanks to all who took trouble to comment, and yes to Nicola ...it is quite large!
This is "I'm confessing that I love you" probably arranged by Eugene Peersman judging by the style of the arrangement. Great organ but unfortunately needs a lot of work done to it to get the organ back up to a decent standard.
I think it sounds as good as it ever did and is in good playing order. It's quite distinctive compared to other Mortiers as it's an original 112-key which is not a size usually heard playing. At Thursford they maintain the instruments very well. The organ sounds just the same as it does on various old recordings stretching back to the '60s (on the Decca label)
OK, I correct myself. Some passages sound a bit strange to my ears, theat is the reason for writing my first comment. But together with the beautiful restored façade I agree with your opinion of course :-)!
I hum this throughout the day da da da da daaaaat daaat dun du du duuuuunh!

I must state quite categorically that ALL of the organs at Thursford play live. There is no speaker and no piped music (pardon the pun)

Nice front - shame about the organ! The owner(s) should be ashamed of themselves.

@perleeman Yes when I heard it last summer it seemed rather wind-starved, struggled with notes and even missed chunks of tunes!!

Please listen to the second song in the following video! The organ plays better than in this video, for sure!

@pianolasociety Decca also recorded the Carl Frei and the Marenghi in the 60's. If you go to gaviolitom's channel he has a lot of those recordings!

Although this organ must have seen better times...
You can get an idea of the organ sounded in the past!
