Rodney! Its done! Wow!!! I've seen some "stop knobs in the round" Sherlock-Manning instruments and always wondered what one would sound like. Your work is always so wonderful. You are truly an artist in case, action and performance. I never tire of listening to these videos and wondering at the amazing sounds you get out of them. Well done! All the best, Stuart

Stephen Mayer Thanks again! It took much longer to restore it than I thought it was going to take, but it was a good experience. I have learned many new techniques to problem solving on this one, and it makes me realize how much more there is to learn. I don't think I'll ever get bored with restoring, I'm already excited for the next one :)

Just thinking, only 2 hours ago, "haven't seen a new Rodney video for a while". Well, this one was really worth waiting for: the endless hours and patience that must have gone into this rescue-restoration have borne wonderful fruit. Lovely contrast of voices between the manuals, and the piece seems to bring out the best in the instrument---not to mention the player!

Rodney! I feel so guilty! The Victorian you pointed out to me has given me many months of service without more than an occasional dusting if I forget to close it up when I am finished. OK, I do have to pedal a bit faster than you do. But, I haven't even had the back off of it yet! And it's much to pretty setting in my living room to even think about taking apart! Thanks Rod!

Just wanted to share an inspirational comparison that came to my mind upon hearing your hauntingly beautiful "Cantabile No. 2, by Pasini. I couldn't get the tune out of my mind and I kept playing your video over and over, trying to remember where I had heard it before. Then I did an internet search of old movies I had seen and found what I had been looking for. Turns out that I was remembering a slightly similar piece from the sound track of "Somewhere in Time," a movie starring Christopher Reeve. That piece was Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini Op. 43, Variation XVIII (Andante Cantabile, Written by Sergei Rachmaninoff) Composed and conducted by John Barry. Anyway, the "Somewhere in Time" theme does remind me of your Victorian Lady, the Doherty Organ, even if the music is not exactly the same.

Hi Rodney! I've noticed that under the manuals and above the foot bellows there is some sort of wooden frame that your legs/knees seem to control (?) does this have any effects on the dynamics of the organ or is it just a decoration? Thanks a lot, -James
