Widor Fox

Lots of them living here around the museum - little buggers, becoming more and more common here in the UK, drgn and I have both been bitten by them.

It is actually for our museum - as a demonstration of what is now available, and it was given to us so I wasn't concerned, I think at last count we have 6 to 8 three manuals in the collection, potentially more - so enough to pick from.

Rather lovely Viscount ! I have the two manual physis series non portable model at home, rather good things.

Flying critter animation.

Hang on to joy and silliness. Be a goofy little creature

A busy time a couple of days ago - moving one of our very heavy babies up to the second floor of its new home ! We begin installation soon.

Foxtober is upon you!
Appreciate your local fox this entire month!

Jack-o-Lantern grinning with the words "It's ween" over it.

Dutch late night TV has its take

This was the same person that attempted to assault me at ConFuzzled some years ago, had no idea who was grabbing me as I was in suit, until much later when I was sent photographs, they were involved with my ex - the one that turned out to be into all sorts of illicit things ..

Yes! I do ref sheets too 😁✨️
Widor was fantastic to work with too ❤️

Wonderful new ref sheet from @featheryflukes.bsky.social !

Fabulous concert and foods yesterday!

Our "reference" clock is somewhat antique at the organ museum x3

breakin da rules

I got the same message, random.

Busy day the other day getting ready for building works at another venue we have an organ going into - regulators coming back to base for releathering !

One thing I miss about being more city based, love the historic market town I've been in for 13 years now - which is "The Rural Capital of Food" apparently, so we do see a lot of food festivals etc, but the regular choice is somewhat lacking! Good cheese though..

Our future time keeper at the museum - Gents of Leicester Master clock, will use this to run multiple clocks throughout the complex !

Thats better, other side tomorrow, and then think about papering and regluing all the ivories which have come off as the instrument has been so damp in someones barn !

Gertie Gussets Magical Leathery Time !

You'd be most welcome if you happen to pass the East Midlands in the UK. We've everything from two theatre pipe organs, a flock of Harmoniums, and a collection following the development of electronic sound generation including the very first British electronic organ from 1938.

Patching and new gussets time! Yet another "favour" instrument for a friend that's in far worse a state than I'd bargained for ...

We are looking to do similar at our organ museum when we are up and running, would be good to put the instruments to work somewhat.

Are you folks able to ship to the UK at all ? My drgn and I have a brand new coffee machine for our kitchen refit - and wouldn't mind placing an order if you do !

New addition to the museum collection - probably the only one of this model in the UK, fabulous carvings of a sort of art deco Quetzalcoatl!

VRC is good fun - we try encourage shy folk over at the Furry Springs, we have a good community, though I don't get on anywhere near as much as I'd like to.

An old friend of ours that was surplus to the museum collection, restored for a colleague of mine by us - has now found a new home, someone very keen on exploring what it can do which is great news !
