Hi all,
Here is a couple links to some video clips of two of the organs at this years Riverside Festival in Nottingham:

Please note all the video clips are filmed using my mobile's video recording setting.
I will be adding uploading some more during next week.

It would be nice if people would record these instruments from the front. I realize the fascination of the roll traveling across the tracker bar,(or the book across the clavier)but recording from the back the accomp pipes dominate the sound that you hear, not what the arranger intended.

Some of us perverted souls think the sound from the back is just as God intended organs to be heard. :D I've gotten to think they sound kind of funny from the other side. (I've been told that Mr. Chaippa referred to the side the organ man normally worked on as the "front". I'd have to agree.)
Cheers,
Roger

More from Mike Grant's W105, playing some European transcriptions. (taken from the back, of course!)
"The Mill in the Black Forest" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBe6nfJmJoU
"Waldteufel Potpourri" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqhFH21Tu90
And I used to not even know what the front of the now Schumacher's 146 looked like, but I could tell you exactly what the back looked like!

I spent twenty five years standing on the klavier side of a Gebr. Bruder 107, so I'm well acquainted with it. It's just that it sounded so much better when I could listen to it from the front , i.e. further out than the outside row of horses. :D
One of the members over on the Wurlitzer 105 builders board has just completed his organ and has posted this lovely video. The tune is "Dream of Heaven" and is one of my all time favorite Wurlitzer arrangements.

My friend Roy Lambeth has just advised me that he has posted some clips to 'YouTube' of organs at this year's Dorset Fair - a couple of White's Gavioli, one of 'De Grote Gavioli' and one of the Dutch street organ 'Dawn of the Century.'
Put 'Roylambeth' into the 'YouTube' search and they are on his fourth page.
