the organ has suffered yet more damage a flood rendered the whole east side main gallery of the organ unplayable and another lightning strike has further damaged the instrument...so now its about 60 % playable...if that
@brb21592 Is it my imagination, or does it ALWAYS sound out of tune? I have 4 or 5 CDs of this organ and the organ sounds out of tune almst all the time. Especially the reeds.
Very nice as always. Dr. Wiliams is always worth hearing.
Incidentally, does anybody know the exact number of ranks and pipes on this thing? I know the rankage is somewhere in the neighborhood of 240, but I can't find numbers for actual pipes for the life of me, and Wikipedia's estimate '2,406' seems very, very unlikely.

I heard the area above the organ chambers was struck by lighting a while back and the relays were fried...are all divisions playing again?
