So beautiful. What is this place? and Where is it?

[Corno Dolce]

Hi Muza,

It is the Cathedral of Siena in Siena, Italy. It really has an exotic look with the black bands of marble throughout the Cathedral.

Thank you again for your "open arm" wellcome, guys! The atmosphere here is warm and it's really good have sometimes a talking with you.
I never stays in United States , because I have too many hobbies ... one of them is spearfishing and diving and so.. when I start for holydays, usually I go to .. some sea isles , as per Maldive or .. more more cheaper.. the Red Sea locations. For less than 600$ a five-star travel can be booked usually. The only problem is : these sites are pipe-organ less but one cannot have all at same time

So, I wish to Judy to win a Italy Travel! If this will became reality, the travel will be really interesting

In Italy we have a large amount of any-time and any dimension organs! I prefeer all-mechanical and well-defined one, than recent or electrical instruments. In the 50' - 60' years , many restaurations was performed damaging ancient instruments, adding electrical parts, destroyng original pipes and so on. In the latest years, these works cannot be legally performed, historical organs are under law protection and the dark period of organ was ended.

Our association is working today about great Dom Bedos Organ mainly, but we are searching for any kind of founds in order to perform restoration of our 1700 many instruments in Rieti, my city!
This is our goal !!

Have a good night to everyone! My work day was really awful today, but now I'm stay better, reading our forum

See you later, guys!

Talking of Judy, anybody noticed she hasn't been around for some time?

[Corno Dolce]

Hi Jvhldb,

Yes, I wonder where too and how Ms. Judy is fairing?

Cheers,

I think she was hit pretty hard by not being able to get at the organ in the Methodist church. It meant a lot to her to be able to go in and play some. Her last post was on the 19th Jan.

Hope she's OK
