a 2 foot flute, can't remember exactly

I hope to be able to play this organ again, and I may apply for a scholarship which includes Lessons from the Incumbent Organist, and regular opportunities to play it. Next time I am there, I will take some more photos, especially of the console.
Thanks for the listing, Bagnew
Nice well rounded specification ... from the pics looks like the acoustics are fairly decent, too.
Ahh, to have divisional pistons ... I have 4 generals on my church Möller pipe.
