Rank of Organ Pipes: GEMSHORN (tapered) 4ft
The organ, from a closed church in Cumbria, is by LAYCOCK AND BANNISTER. these are of excellent quality, as you would expecty from L+B, and were bright and well-blending when play in the organ.
Gemshorns were often used as the main 4ft stop in a Swell Organ, because of their brightness, and their ability to blend well not only with the diapasons, but with strings and flutes too. A gemshorn is a flexible all-rounder!
It is full compass, so 56 pipes. The whole rank is metal; the basses are plain pipe-metal, but the rest of the rank is of good spotted metal (maybe 40% tin, adding tonal brightness)
My details are on the final photo, should you wish to contact me with questions. I have a surplus of pipes at the moment, including some ranks from this organ which are being listed at the moment. Do feel free to call me if you have any requests for pipework.
This rank is too heavy to be sent by carrier, so it is “collection only”. I live 5 minutes from Junction 24, M62, so quite easy to access.Just a footnote: I do get quite a few requests from private contacts outside Ebay. If one of these wants to buy any of my listed ranks of pipes, I would take them off Ebay during a listing and sell them privately. Once a bid has been placed however, I will always leave the listing to run its course. The moral of the story? – If you want an item, place a bid on it sooner rather than at the last minute.
