Dear Nigel

Great - thanks - do you think you might be able to ask Graham if he might be able join here so that he can be contacted.

Personally, whilst it's an organ, it's a functional modern instrument about which I'm not at all capable of being greatly romantic about. Great, however, possibly for a school?

Best wishes

I've posted a link, and invited him tojoin this board.  I know some local churches where this organ would fit admirably, but they're not in the market, unfortunately.

Definitely a mini Bach machine!

I suspect a bit lacking in tonal variation when it comes to the romantic slush that I like to play however :)

Interesting when compared to the massive 4-manual tracker which Walcker built for Riga Dom.  My friend is in Riga at the moment and will be fixing dates for her concerts there next year.
