@brb21592 Is it my imagination, or does it ALWAYS sound out of tune? I have 4 or 5 CDs of this organ and the organ sounds out of tune almst all the time. Especially the reeds.
the organ has suffered yet more damage a flood rendered the whole east side main gallery of the organ unplayable and another lightning strike has further damaged the instrument...so now its about 60 % playable...if that
Very nice as always. Dr. Wiliams is always worth hearing.
Incidentally, does anybody know the exact number of ranks and pipes on this thing? I know the rankage is somewhere in the neighborhood of 240, but I can't find numbers for actual pipes for the life of me, and Wikipedia's estimate '2,406' seems very, very unlikely.
