🎵 St James the Greater Church, Leicester - PIPE ORGAN DEMONSTRATION

Welcome to the 3 Manual J.W. Walker/Nicholson organ at St James the Greater Church in Leicester in Leicestershire, UK. I am Organ Scholar here, so I have the privilege of playing this wonderful organ! In this video, I demonstrate some of the stops, sounds and colours of this organ. I start by showing you the Great, which includes the diapasons, flutes and bright mixtures. Then we look at the very loud Swell, a very typically English division with flutes, strings and big reeds! Next, I show you the Choir with some gorgeous flutes which sing into the wonderful acoustic so well. Finally, I show you the Pedal, which includes big 16ft flues and a giant 16ft Ophicleide, as well as a very interesting quint effect for the reed 32.
