Comments
For 2012:- Let the organ warm up a few minutes before playing. There is enough wind, but at first there will be some latency between touch and sound.
- The Swell expression is good for the lowest 1/3. Above 1/3 there isn't any difference in expression.
- The pedal reeds are disconnected from the toe pistons, so get an assistant.
- The church building itself is BEAUTIFUL and, surprisingly, not overly live.
