Chapel of New College, Oxford?

[Guest]

Does anyone have any info regarding this pipe organ? Maker, stoplist, etc?

I have no information regarding this but the NPOR (National Pipe Organ Register) will have a stoplist.

I have heard the organ in a recording with Peter Hurford (Bach) - a double Decca CD of Bach's great organ works.

I believe the organ is a good example of the baroque revival - its stoplist will probably reflect that.

Yes, Mr Hurford's recording of BMV 543 on that organ is incredible. The pedal just GRINDS!!! I'm guessing that's the 32' bassoon.

I have actually heard from quite a few people, including an ex organ scholar of New College Oxford that it isnt really a particularly good instrument.
