TV Show "Howard Goodall's Organ Works"
By Jeremy Brice

This series was made in 1996 for Channel 4 Television here in the UK
and was screened at peak time (around 8:00 p.m. if I recall correctly)
on Sunday evenings.

Whilst undoubtedly an entertaining and interesting series, the exposure
mechanical organs got was very small and limited purely to the last
episode.  In this, Howard visited the St. Albans Organ Museum where they
did a short sequence showing their two Decap dance organs: the 92-key
Jeanneke and the 121-key 'England's Pride'.

Also seen (but not heard) was Keith Pinner's 68-key Decap, 'Lucy',
which was temporarily installed on the stage of the museum to be
recorded.  As Ingmar Krause saw at the very end, the 49-key Limonaire
that stands alongside the carousel by the Eiffel Tower was also shown
in the closing credits.
