Take your pick from Harrison and Harrison or Norman and Beard. Both nice 2 manuals; the Harrison is already dismantled and good to go in.

I don't suppose anyone has this guy's phone number? Apparently he is in the Midlands/Warwickshire area and has lots of salvaged organ bits and pieces. Thanks :o :o

Hi Chris, there are a couple of big Hills I can think of which have been renovated - St Augustine's,  Penarth and St Barnabas in Ealing. Might be worth asking how they got on.

Organs in danger / 3m 1866 Bevington
June 09, 2013, 10:13:04 PM
http://www.npor.org.uk/cgi-bin/Rsearch.cgi?Fn=Rsearch&rec_index=G01640

This organ was to have been exported to Australia by Mark Fisher a few years ago, but in the event, that wasn't possible.

I understand that the church building has now been sold, and accordingly a new home is needed for this historic organ.

Very little of the work that has been done to the organ over the years has changed its original character, and Mark, who has done very significant research into Bevington, was very impressed with it.

Are there any other Bevington enthusiasts out there who might be interested?

Just accept people are religious. That doesn't make them Buddhists, Christians, Mormons or whatever.

Why oh why are some people so concerned to make Christianity comply with their own philosophies. The world was awash with religion  in New Testament days, and its awash with it today.

With respect, I doubt that the worshippers of Diana would have been too bothered with the wooly philosophy being muted in the name of Christianity today, but the clear preaching of the apostles, like that of Christ Himself provoked a profound reaction.

If one can tolerate everything except the simple gospel that was proclaimed then and still, in some places, now, be that as it may. Those that love the Lord, His gospel, his Name, Person and Day will just get on building the 'wall', as Nehemiah did of old, because what sets Christianity apart from every single religion in the world, that ever was, or will be, is that God reveals Himself to man. It is not what man does for his god, but what God does for His man/woman.

As the apostle Paul wrote to the Ephesian Christians, who had turned from idols to serve the Living God, 'Saved by Grace alone, through faith. And that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.'

Yes, if one only heard that one word 'Grace' from the 80+ year old preacher, he might realise that this one single word separates Christianity from everything else.

Many thanks to all who enquired/offered help, but I have now sold the set up .

I wonder how much legislation it might take to see such ceremonies in mosques etc?

Heard this very interesting sermon, preached last week by preacher who is 87 next year...

I think it answers the question pretty adequately

#17
Ignorant and unlearned as I am, I have pondered over the fact that the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch, and the name (derogatory?) stuck. What was it about them, or what did they believe, that was so radical in their day, so that they were singled out as 'Christians'?

Even the most cursory examination of the New Testament gives the answer, yet I meet so many today who take to themselves the name 'Christian' without holding to any of the basic tenets that these first Christians lived by, and often died for.

To answer to the question which is the subject of this post, one would need to appreciate first, What is a true Christian? , and he would then need to consider whether, had he lived in Antioch in those days, there might have been any danger of him being singled out as one of 'the Christians'.

Forgot to mention that I travel all over the place from time to time, so I'm sure we could arrange something with someone anywhere in the country.

I'm in Cardiff.

Have to admit I am only using the standard St Anne's Moseley sample set, but it plays like a dream.

No idea about computers at all, but it was built specifically to run Hauptwerk, and I'm sure Millenium Music would be able to quote for any upgrades that might be necessary.

I still have everything connected up in our church building ( www.tabernaclecardiff.org ) only that I would need to plug the church amp and speakers back in for anyone to try it out.

I've put a post on the Hauptwerk forum, and I think its ok if I'm not advertising the Hauptwerk 4 Advanced as for sale. Obviously at £350 value, hopefully it will make the rest of the kit attractive to a potential enthusiast.

Due to a change in circumstances, I am thinking of selling my Hauptwerk set up which I only bought a few months ago.

The computer, Keyboard stack and pedalboard have hardly been used, and it comes with the Advanced edition of Hauptwerk 4

    Computer type: 'Elite Performance 64bit' by www.millennium-music.co.uk

    Board and Processor :-
    (a) 'ASUS P5Q Pro Turbo' and 'Quad Core Q9650 3.0ghz 12mb'.
    (b) Cooling Block = 'Noctua NH-12 Pro 12cm (cube) heatpipe Cooler'
    (c) 2 separate boards of '4GB ddr2 1066' boards are fitted (8 GB of memory).

    3 Hard drives are fitted :-
    (a) Two identical 500GB Serial ATA 7200rpm 16mb cache
    (b) A 300GB Velociraptor SATA 10,000 rpm 16mb cache

    DVD-RW Dual layer DVD+R 18times enables you to put your recordings on CD.

    Soundcard :-

    M-Audio 1010 LT which runs fine on 64bit. The card comes complete with 2 seperate cable bundles of very high quality, one Audio and one, MIDI related.

    Windows Version = Windows VISTA ULTIMATE 64bit

    Console: 3 Manual stack by www.Johnsorganworks.co.uk

    MIDI Sequencer: built in the pc
   
    Classic Organ Works 32 note midi pedalboard   

We used it for our summer conference ( www.summerconference.org ) and I was frankly amazed at the way it supported a large congregation singing in full voice, even with a very amateur speaker arrangement.

I bought the keyboard stack new a few months back for over £600, while the pc and pedalboard were secondhand, neither had ever been used. The pc was £1750 and the pedalboard around £1,000.

I'm not sure what the arrangement is for passing on the Hauptwerk programme, but that costs about £350.

That's almost £4,000 worth, so I would hope to get £2,000 for it.

Any suggestions?
