Nice, what is the make/year of the instrument?

[LaurieAlex]

It is a William Hill & Son 1885 3/34 electro-pneumatic Pipe Organ, and we are at St John's Anglican Church, Darlinghurst, Sydney, Australia.

Is it a similar instrument to the Sydney Town Hall organ?

Best wishes, cazzie511

YESS.. this is good.. thumbs up for the correct speed

[fmdtech]

could you please tell me where I can get a copy of the sheet music played here, would very much appreciate your help. Thanks

[orgmus]

Thankyou so much for playing this wonderful piece at the right speed. Widor never played it as though he was anxious to make a quick get away. I get very annoyed when I hear it rushed as though it's some competition to see who can play it fastest.

Well done sir!!

Wow...this is one of the few people playing at the proper speed...awesome..thx for sharing

we have a Wicks opus #56 1911 in our Church of St. Rose of Lima Quincy. we just restored it. It is all original with its original blower 1898.

Wicks could not even restore it, I called a Mr. Philip Hoenig of Ft. madison,Iowa. of Hoenig Organ Company.
