Title: Interesting house organ
Post by: David Pinnegar on August 05, 2014, 08:22:01 PM
I'm on the Ladach mailing list and this one came through. With a Tierce on II it will be lovely in a mild unequal temperament with purer thirds. Possibly Valotti or Kellner or a modified meantone as used on the Izard and Grinda organs in the south of France

That looks lovely.  I wish I had that sort of money too, though it would probably cost as much again to have it transported here.

I'd be interested to hear what the pedal sounds like.  I presume the Sordun 16' (presumably not a misprint for Bordun) is a fractional-length reed, and no 8' stop either.

The rest of the specification looks useful, though.
