Blaze Away(a. holzmann) sherburn church organ

As ther aint many theatre organs in my area, I have to practice on which ever organs I can find, the organ at sherburn is only small (swell/great/pedal) but was easiest for me to practice on as I was at 6th form at Sherburn high...its still an organ though and I love playing so I'm not bothered what organ it is!!!

Just trying to track this organ down. If it's Sherburn St Hilda's Church, then it's rather a large(7+9+ped) 2-manual Conacher organ with an ornate case & a 16' open on the pedal. If I'm right it's registration number with NPOR is N04038.

hi, no mate sorry ure wrong its not St Hildas....its All Saints...Sherburn-In-Elmet but it does have a 16ft open on the pedal.

Would you post the specifications (stops and couplers) of this organ?

When you have time, would you favor us with a video of, ahem, more traditional church organ music?

Thanks in advance.

sorry mate, cant remember the specs of the organ, long time since I played on it. Also I dont actually play much church organ music...as I said in the vid description I am into the theatre organ but have nowhere to practice. I am playing a couple of more traditional tunes (bachs tocatta & fugue in d minor, prelude in g ETC)

cheers :)

I think yes because there's not much of an "echo" or sustain for want of a better word. Sounds a bit more like a carnival organ, wonderful!

I think your version "speaks" much better on this smaller church organ than on the bigger theatre monsters.

Fantastic for a church organ you sure made it talk for what it is capable of doing compared to what theater organ can do
