excellent.

Herr Michiels is an artist. He plays great music with terrific composure and spirit, and never misses a note -- makes the Widor Allegro Vivace look like child's play. Thanks for sharing these vidoes -- encore!

Wonderful piece - - never heard this before. Reminds me somewhat of Max Reger in style. Nicely played too.

Thanks. You've answered a question that's been bothering me for 30 years -- but obviously not quite enough for me to do any research ;-)

They are what we call free combinations. In this case they make it possible to prepare 3 other registrations then the one you put on the tabs. You can activate them by pushing a buton under the keyboards;hope you understand:)

Does anyone know what those little buttons are under(& over) the stop tabs? I've seen them on older German organs (particularly Sauers like the one in the Berliner Dom), but no one on this side of the Atlantic can enlighten me.
