Brindley and Foster Organ Restored in Edinburgh, Scotland

In this video, we hear about the 1913 Brindley and Foster pipe organ in downtown Edinburgh, Scotland, and about the technical aspects of the organ that make it unique, from two technicians with the firm Forth Pipe Organs, who have maintained, and now have restored this pipe organ to its original 1913 condition. Also in this video, Simon Nieminski, the organist who played the re-opening and re-dedication concert of this organ in March, 2010, is heard playing the opening track (Mozart's Overture to The Magic Flute) from his new Pro Organo CD, entitled "The Organ at the Grand Lodge."

Brilliant! Is this W.T. Best's arrangement? It's an amazing organ. It sort of reminds me of the grand organ in the Melbourne town hall. I wish there were great symphonic organs in here in Ireland.

As a fellow brother and organ fanatic in Chicagoland, I wish that our lodge could revel in music this splendid. Instead, we are subjected to an ancient Hammond C-3 and PR-40 tone cabinet.
