Rank of Organ Pipes: MANUAL BOURDON, 16ft
The organ, rescued in the nick of time from a Derbyshire church that is being renovated internally, is by Albert Keates of Sheffield. Key compass is 58 notes (CC to top G), and wind pressure is presumed to be around 3″. Frankly I had expected the pipes to be run-of-the mill; In fact they are of splendid quality, and in good condition.
The Bourdon is from the Swell Organ. It is full compass, so 58 pipes, all of stopped wood. Tonally, especially in the middle and higher ranges, it is a beautiful stop. The bottom 12 are black, and sat on the outside of the swellbox. The rest are of lighter pine.As you would expect from a manual Bourdon, this is of modest scale. Its scale is notably smaller than the accompanying Pedal Bourdon that sat next to it, but would still make an ideal 16ft pedal stop for a smaller organ or house organ.
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 quite a few 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.
