Hi,
I  was looking for something else and I just found this article about the Organ at St Botolph's Aldgate London, which has been restored quite recently. they mention that the Temperament is a "Harris Special " and not suitable for the complete Bach 48 as they put it.
any comments ?

Hi,
I know that Compton stop tabs come in two main types, the non moving type and the moving type where there are two solenoids built in.
I just wondered if anyone knew if it was possible to convert the non moving type to the moving type ? of course the solenoids would have to be wound and fitted in, but I just wondered if  anyone has done this.
and as another question to the experienced Organists, are having moving stops that much of an advantage ?

Hi,
as a newbie to Pipe Organs I have seen the following book
Historic Organ Conservation by Council for the Care of Churches; Dominic Gwynn
I just wondered what everyone's opinion of it was ?
