I just spoke to the provost of my cathedral and he has given me the go ahead to sample our new oberlinger organ. I should also state that oberlinger is official out of business and our organ was there last major installation before kicking the bucket. The name of my church is Christ church cathedral in Lagos Nigeria, the Cathedral has a 2.5 sec acoustical reverb and the organ sounds very majestic.

I will like suggestions as to what type of microphones would be best for a recording like this and also what type of audio interface would do for this recording. I welcome people who will like to partner with me on the project but I am totally fine doing it myself, I just need some pointers towards doing the best possible recording.
The Harrison and Harrison organ company from England is coming in next week to completely re-tune the organ and overhaul some of its mechanism. The Church will like me to sample the organ after the re-tuning work has been done.
Here are some pictures of the Cathedral and the Pipe Organ
