Tour of organ stops of redundant organ to be scrapped in Jan 2009

Can you find this organ a home? Links to further details about this organ otherwise to be scrapped are on the "more info" of the "Plea for Organs" video http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=MW1oOTiFoOk

Here I'm taking us on a tour of the stops from the console and on another video there's an unguided tour of the instrument and other videos of Mark Cyphus playing the last recital.

Instruments such as this can inspire young people such as Luke Nivan http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=kEvtJASzDdw or by way of concerts by inspirational players such as Dr Pitches http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=CKbTNBupUTA who works as a Doctor in the Congo and comes back to England to play the organ to fundraise for http://www.medair.org

Can you find a home for this instrument? Playing the organ is such a mind expanding gift you can give to a young person . . . Can you be Santa this Christmas and find somewhere for this instrument in January?

After copying the stoplist, I noticed "FDa" appear several times. This is something new to me.

For example:

8' Open Diapason FDa Vox Humana

What does this mean?

I think it's pure computer gibberish!

Hello! Has the unspeakable crime been committed yet? I might be able to help.

Hi! It's being rescued for a church in Wales and any help in dismantling and moving at the London end during this coming week would be really appreciated. So please PM me!

Is there somewhere interesting looking for an organ?

Beautiful organsound!!! Very well!!! :) I can only speak a little English.... :( which organ stop sounds in this video at 3:37 ? I don't understand it... :(

Hi

Not computer gibberish! It simply means that different surveyors have recorded different stop names! The "FDa" is the NPOR surveyor code of the person who recorded the alternate stops. It's the simplest way of presenting variant information.

Yes, the organ was saved.

I can't believe anybody would consider scrapping such a magnificent instrument! I hope this organ was successfully rescued.

Perhaps is means 'Foundation a' or 'Full Diapason a'?

[stormkingfan]

Its rescue is definite, then. Praise God!

Even if I were 3 hrs from London, I would still jump at the chance to help, but I'm on the other side of the puddle (Philadelphia, PA).

Great to see this classic Walker continue to breathe. David, you made a big difference. Good job!!
