--- Quote from: pwhodges on 06 Dec 2018, 12:15 ---So far this week I have managed:

A refund of £130 for Duty and VAT incorrectly assessed on the return of a microphone I owned from repair in the USA;
A refund of about £1600 of overpaid income tax (they gave me an incorrect tax code at the start of the tax year);
Ordered a very rare second-hand CD I've been looking for for the past eight years;
Been sent a rip of another (even more rare) CD which I discovered that a person I once did a favour for had a copy of.

Quite a good week, I feel.

Thrillho:
Thank you Joe, for voicing the question screaming inside me.

On this page, MRCD 905 (ordered) and MMSCD 3 (ripped).

They are recordings of organs made using Ambisonics by a man who is now owner and MD of one of this country's oldest organ building businesses (Willis organs).

Wow - That's some specialist sounds right there!

Hang on... the owner of Willis Organs is called David...?
This is a 'Classical' Level troll, isn't it!!  :-D

pwhodges:
Willis is not an uncommon name, so combinations come up...

My mother's maiden name was Willis (she was descended from the Dr Willis* who attended King George III); but more unusually, my paternal grandfather's first name was also Willis - so I have some old music copies inscribed "Willis Hodges".

* I have an original of that print.
