Jingle Bells

Richard Shireby plays the 1877 Conacher tracker pipe organ in the workshop of Ireland-Shireby church organ builders (Lincolnshire, UK) as the organ nears the completion of it's restoration.

This item was recorded off the workshop's internal CCTV system as an experiment & an alternative of using a camcorder. Sound is recorded through a pair of Shure SM57 microphones. All the cameras are Sony, and fed through a Panasonic digital video mixer.

Yeah it sounds good Geoff, hows the restoration going on it now all completed?

I have a similar organ to this A Conacher Organ, 1898, 2 Manual, Ratchit Swell Pedal all the old works.

I will do a video on it soon.

Regards

Rob

Rob,

At least I can play whatever I want on it whilst it's in the workshop!

To be honest, it's about done. We seem to have lost a bourdon stopper so there are a couple of upper bourdons out whilst I make a new one. The top 18 notes of the Gt 4' flute need their regulation finishing, two pieces of felt to the ratchet swell pedal & attaching two return springs to the compo pedals. We have actually moved onto the next workshop job now (bishop R00771), but are holding owing to credit crunch.
