Spooky organ sale

Post-processing with HDR results in a rather spooky view of this already surreal organ in St Bertrand de Comminges, in France. This particular organ was in fact featured in a ghost story by M R James, called "Canon Alberic's Scrap-Book", but in real life is simply magnificent. The heavily carved organ case matches the world-famous choir stalls which are believed top be the work of Nicolas Bachelier. The organ itself dates from around 1550, and after undergoing many changes and adaptations over the centuries now sports 3 manuals and pedals, with 31 stops and 47 ranks. It is also unusual in that it is built in the corner of a church rather than along a wall. Thanks to the buyer in Brooklyn Park, Mn, USA, and I hope you enjoy your new purchase!
