Olivera makes Vierne sound so easy!

Any chance that the organ specs are somewhere? Church website? Going back to find 1/3 & 2/3.

[@jonathanfischer7065]

It's an electric Allen Organ, 3 manuals, 80-stop custom organ. Though there is a church website, I don't think it has the specs.

@@jonathanfischer7065 Perhaps they have not had the time to post anything on the church web page about the organ but wow I checked the site out and nothing about the organ, no specs, no organist listed to contact NOTHING! How strange! I am usually not much on electronic organs but dang there are getting better at sounding like the real thing. Thank you for the information you provided.

@@ricktomlinson5481you could ask Allen the specs of their closest organ in the range. There are other videos on line with Maestro playing the Allen ( there is one of him playing the great Toccata by Driffith. I have a 3 manual Viscount Prestige and it is a lovely organ for my home. I could not afford an equivalent Allen. Allen and Rogers digital organs while they are excellent they are very costly over here with the high USD. There was also a problem with having them serviced which I hope has been solved. With these digital organs (and they are all good now) we are hearing reproductions of the very best pipe organ ranks as without the great pipe organs there would nothing to digitise and replicate. Competition among digital organ makes is fierce and that is a good thing.
