This is th best example that you don´t need hundreds of ranks for a powerful

organsound. I listen very often to your Videos. Greetings from an organist of Germany. Please go on recording!

@2009bigmac Thanks very much for watching and for your kind comments. Best wishes to you!

Very well played.  Your registration changes are so clean. You are so fortunate to be able to play a Hook and Hastings.
