110 key Gavioli - Widnes F.O.P.S Rally 2008

[cellopipe]

This is a 'MOCK' Gavioli organ. It has nothing to do with Gavioli what so ever. It is just a mess of a job. The original organ was never 110 key but was then converted to 98 and made one of the finest travelling gavioli organs. Just ask old showmen. No body likes it now. It has no worth at a heritage show.

@cellopipe To say no one likes it couldn't be any further from the truth, I know a lot of people who like it, I crew on this organ so I should know. ;-)

@StuartMulcrow I think you would of liked the old 98 Gavioli more Stuart. It was very orchestral and had the caricature similar to Whites or Coles Gondola organ.

@cellopipe Sadly I never got to see the organ before it was rebuilt/remodelled.

[cellopipe]

@StuartMulcrow That is unfortunate Stuartmulcrow. Believe you would of liked it very much.

@cellopipe I don't know how you people can enjoy and organ that's firstly isn't what it says it is and secondly made from a good organ that has been destroyed? Is that what fair organ preservation is about?

@cellopipe Sounds to me like your just a PATHETIC jelous know it all who obviously does not care that there are lots of people out there who enjoy this organ as Stuart has said, why is it not a Gavioli?

@JudgeFrankforthright Some people really like this organ, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

More! Great! These are two really super books and the organ sounds really balanced playing these. With these those trumpets sound under perfect control at last. Who is the arranger? It's nice to hear something different - at GDSF it seems to play more or less the same stuff all the time, I've not heard these before.
