Hi all, As the original builder of the Four Seasons, I should say my piece. Chris Edmonds always boasted that this organ was designed by him, but it is virtually identical to the Princess, latterly owned by George Houghton, now in Tasmania. Pipework consisted of violin playing unison, cello an octave below, and piccolo an octave above. Accompaniment is the usual stopped and open ranks. Bass is a large-scale 16' under the floor with the bottom note being 'G' - nothing bigger would fit. This is helped by two ranks in the back of the organ playing an octave higher - open and stopped. The forte register brought on a trombone rank on bass with the lowest note being 'C', and a trumpet on melody playing an octave lower than the violin (top six notes are harmonic for tuning stability). Chris decided, subsequently to the organ's completion, that he would enhance it. I know nothing of any work done by Kevin Meayers, but Chris wrote to me with the specification of what he was proposing to have done by Deans. The large flue bass would be taken down to the 'F', with the big pipe in the back standing upright; the trombone would also be extended down to the 'F', with the five pipes to be made playing an octave lower than originally, extended up through the organ's roof and mitred around on top. This would be achieved by fitting the resonators with flanges with the extensions screwed down onto the roof from above. He had a two-rank Baritone fitted in a new belly-case Marenghi-style. I don't know if these play constantly, or if they are on register. Lastly, he had a huge bass drum fitted, which was really OTT, befitting his character:-) This last statement also applies to the brass horns, of which I can add nothing more than has already been said. Overall, I am happy about what has been done, leaving the majority of my original concept untouched. He has merely enhanced it into a truly unique instrument. Regards, John
