Hi Dave.
Great Stuff.
The pictures of Organ Figures certainly show that they are works of art in their own right and require a lot of skill to obtain the results shown.
What skill those woodcarvers and painters had to produce such masterpieces.
Regards
George. |

Hey Dave,
They're beautiful pics of beatiful carving and paintwork.
Did Goff Radcliffe's organ that I saw about 20 years ago not have a bandmistress the same as that one? It looks very familiar.

Hi Draaiorgel.
Thanks for your comments. I couldn't say whether Goff's figures were the same, you will have to ask an organ expert on that one!
So come on you expert enthusiasts, give us your feedback! 
Regards,
Dave |
