As it happens, I have many fond memories of Arthur Bloomer and others performing on that organ before it was bastardized with all that digital junk.</P>


Why not get rid of the digital stuff and...

Yeah. I didn't have that much cash on me at the concert. I did have a check, but was reluctant to spend $60 without knowing what I was getting. I have, however, subsequently ordered volume 2 on line.

re help: see if there is a local chapter of the Organ Historical Society - lots of people there are really into that sort of thing. Ditto, the local AGO.</P>


Just a couple of random thoughts.</P>

Funny you mention that production of Carmina Burana. I vividly remeber that production. One of my families good friends was the soprana soloist. I was totally blow away. </P>

FYI - I just went on the OHS database website and sent them an update on the organ with a link to this thread. They rely on people volunteerin information to keep the database up to date.

Thanks</P>


It was a neat looking little organ, and would look great in a living room - provided you had a cathedral ceiling.</P>

I was in the Cathedral Church of St. Luke in Orlando yesterday for a concert. In addition to the large Tellers organ in the gallery, there is a small free-standing pipe organ in the South aisle. It...

Surely there are one or two people in the church who might be interested enough to help. Perhaps even start a fund drive, or hold fund-raising events.</P>

Whatever works! Sounds like your Sarasota organist may have been using a piston sequencer. Some people think that's cheating as well. !!</P>


Using a sequencer requires some careful planning, and...

I think you've undertaken a wonderful project. If I were in your area, I would help.</P>


Question - are you getting any support and/or encouragement from the powers that be of that church?</P>

I see nothing wrong with having both a page-turner and a piston-pusher. She probably had a limited time to prepare on this particular instrument.</P>

That Carmina Burana production contained several such moments. If you are familiar with the piece, one of the songs is known generally as the 'Roasted Swan.' It should be played for pathos - in line...
