Pretty good Simon.

I know this is difficult to play steadily and it is easy to speed up but you kept it about right.

I find it easier to use the pistons to change registration so my fingers don't have to leave the keyboards, otherwise I crash!

@goodchappy Thank you for your comment. I usually end up having some sort of issue at some point. As a visitor to the cathedral, I dare not change the piston settings in case I cause someone else a problem. As you saw, when i brought the 8ft Trumpet on the Great. It very almost went wrong there. lol.

This is very nice indeed I loved the swell reed foundations in the middle section with the Tuba or Tromba?

@RobCharles1981 Thank you very much. I had seen a few videos on here which gave me a bit on inspiration if im honest. Very glad you enjoyed it and thank you for your comment.

@SimonKane1 Many Thanks your welcome! :-)

@SimonKane1 Yes I understand. A lot of refurbed organs have capture systems that allow numerous organists to have their own settings. Some music I find almost impossible to play unless I can use pistons to change registration because you have to take your hands away with the great danger of not putting them back in the correct place :-)
