The last time I tried to order from them, their system wouldn't take my credit card, and whatever the reason was, I couldn't figure it out. I tried several times over several days and eventually just gave it up.

JPC, yes.

I have no trouble ordering from them. Give it another try, I say.

@JBS I believe that despite the legal clarification that recordings are not tariffed, JPC has held to its position of no longer selling/shipping to the USA. They also use DHL which has had a poor record during the tariff administration.

I didn't realize they stopped shipping to the US. Their chart of shipping charges by country doesn't list the US. (But does list North Korea.) Yet at the bottom of the page along with the DHL logo is the USPS logo.

I sampled a few selections from one volume I found at random on my streaming service. Toccata and Fugue in d minor, unusually staccato. Trio Sonata No 1, the registration didn't make the contrapuntal lines clear to my ear. Piece d'orgue, nice. Probably there are delights buried there, but there are so many recordings of this music I haven't listened to yet.

It's certainly worth £10 (for 16 CDs).

Some may find the sound of this organ a bit muddy and lacking the clearness of the best Schnitger- and G.Silbermann organs, but from an interpretative point of view there are many good(e) details.
