Delighted to find that a large print of the Sydney Town Hall Hill pipe organ has been sold to a buyer in Minnesota. I can see why this angle appeals - the pipes look huge in comparision with the organist below them - and indeed they are! It really makes a statement about how large organs can be, and just how beautifully decorated and encased the pipes often are.

The cufflinks on the Zazzle organ gift store are terrific - small gifts, so easy to post and very elegant. The new design here, showing the Cliquot/Cavaille-Coll organ in St Sulpice, Paris, would be easily recognised by any organist. No mistaking that clock, for starters!
One of the sales today (thanks to all the buyers!) was a fun Tee, showing the front of the organ in Beziers Cathedral, south of France, with the words: "HINT: I'd like this for my birthday." Several different organs are shown in this design range, and you can see the others by following this link

Many of you will already know what a pest I am when it comes to wringing organ stories out of you. Sorry, but I'm back at it again. The next stage of my work on the sequel to "Organ-isms: Anecdotes from the World of the King of Instruments" has stepped up with my need for lots and lots of short, pithy comments, musings, observations, notes, little stories from organists (and their henchmen - ie page turners, teachers etc) from their days spent labouring with love and sometimes a great deal of frustration at this wonderful instrument.
If you're not sure what I'm on about, please rush over to the newly created submission page, read about the coming sequel, and immediately jot down an offering! You wouldn't want to be left out, would you?!? Go there now!
Now you can lose yourself enjoying the multitudes of links to all things organ on our links page. I have kept the one and only page going on our companion www.nzorgan.com website but have put a link to it from here, on pipelinepress.com, so you can easily find it again.
As always, I'd urge you to tell me about your favourite links, even if you THINK I have them already. I probably don't! I would especially like to build on the personal organist websites out there; so many wonderful players have such good webpages full of information, music and schedules. Sometimes it can be a nightmare trying to find such organists and even google is capable of spitting the dummy. So if you know of a link the world should also know about, tell me! Likewise, if any existing links no longer work, do let me know. I try to test them often but that isn't always possible.
