@@henriperdieus7355 i have apsr 500... the second manual of the organ plays this via a mechanism which obedience made, and a psr 8000 which is the 6th manual of the organ and the midi runs from the psr 500, through the ahlborn galanti to this.

@@JohnCavicchio thanks John.

Thank you kindly!

Much thanks. I've been building it for over 30 years. It's got a lot of mechanical components to it. The bones of it are an Estey grand reed organ. Thanks again.

Thank you Adam- that's very kind. I notice you life resorting old things, and might see my organ shell is a 100+year old Estey reed organ.

Thanks Phillip

Thanks Taylor - There's a lot of voicing / blending, considering I'm harnessing so many different instruments together. You do a great job at this. Love your work.

Hi. Yes, you may certainly use it. Thanks for asking.

Thanks!

Hi Gary. Much thanks for your comments. The Original instrument was a 2 manual Estey Model E with full pedal board. It has undergone so many rebuilds and additions, it is difficult to describe. For many years I had built another Estey Reed organ into it (tuning each stop of the new to the old) - so I was playing 3 manuals of Estey and 2 Yamaha Keyboards - some of which is is this video - At the time I also had a 32' reed pedal stop - using weights on the end of the reeds so they beat an octave lower. There is more detail at th-cam.com/video/gvBW8ODn09s/w-d-xo.html - There is a bit of a slide show of the instrument at 6:42 on th-cam.com/video/Jsjys2iWT_E/w-d-xo.html if you are interested. Cheers. Col

Wow! Col, you are so creative.@@ColAdamson

That's very kind. Thanks Bruce.

Thanks Bruce

Yes, there is a lot to learn on a large instrument

Anna has already visited, toured and played the Wanamaker. It was such an honor to be that tour guide.

@@dylandavidshaw thanks Dylan. Love your work!

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

Much thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you so much John.

Thank you so much for your kindness. I've spent many hours voicing and blending the various vpo's. So pleased that it's appreciated.

Much thanks. Actually, the organ has grown a bit more since then.. and now with better recording equipment.

Much thanks. It actually works really well.

Thanks David

Much thanks for your comments. The original console is an Estey Grand Model E reed organ from around 1914 - and I've built on to it over the years. The Reed organ still works, but it's not so easy to record the sound of it. The Estey is all mechanical, which meant I have been able to build my own instrument.

Thank you very much! Glad you liked it.

Yes, you may use any of my videos. Sorry, this one was filmed a long time ago with a pinhole microphone and pre computer software. Thanks for asking.

@@ColAdamson thank you so much

Yes, originally a 2 manual red organ. I still use all the mechanical action of the original instrument.

Hi Andrew. Yes. It is a combined reed organ, Yamaha digital keyboards, ahlborn galanti organ module.... and Hauptwerk organs.

Hi Roland. It is a reed organ and electronic / digital organ, using Hauptwerk software. It's not a pipe organ, although i do have some pipes in the front. Best regards, Col

Much thanks. The organ is a Hauptwerk instrument, in my home, Sydney, Australia... and the vox's are from the Paramount 320 organ (manuals 2,3 and 4), and in also using a Robert Morron on manual 1- which can be mechanically coupled to the second manual.

Thanks
