I read in the web that the Bristol Chathedral Organ has no pedal. Therefore I would like to know the range of the keyboards. In the wikipedia article Organ there is a picture showing the written range, the range of a typical organ and still the sound possibilities according to the different hand spots. I include below the URL of the article where the picture is for you to take a look. Thanks. António |

Dear António, Ooh - good question. I think you must have seen the webpage that describes the history of the organ. When it was first built, it had no pedals, but now it does! Here is a link to the spec: http://bristol-cathedral.co.uk/images/uploads/Organ_specification.pdf We will be holding the workshop either in the Lord Mayor's Chapel or St Paul's Church, Clifton. They both have organs with a couple of manuals and pedals, but much more modest parish church organs. I can get the specs for you if you want. Edited by Emma Hornby, Mar 13 2015, 09:53 PM.

Dear Emma, thank you very much. An important difference. And yes, that was the webpage I saw. For now I don't need the specs, thanks. |
