Very nice little theatre organ old and new come together well ,even the Tower Wurlitzer has an electric piano? on that note a little tower ballroom style of playing crept in, too ?
Amazing work and demonstration. So...thinking like a scientist...there are ways to get a theater organ, to sound like a church organ. I've heard it before, but wanted to know how. Plus...as a Millennial, I'm more prone to synths, and Hammond/electric organs. I find the flutes and violins (individual instruments), to sound like they came from an organ, and a synth. It's still not my thing, but really nice. I don't like the tremulants. That's because...they remind me of opera, and science fiction. These are known for making sound effects (and singing, which many fail to realize). That distinguishes this, from what you hear in church. Speaking of which, the diapasons are breathtaking. TBH, if you want emulate an orchestra, it's best to have them off.
I wish I had half your talent, it's fantastic to listen through headphones. I like to dabble with a couple of keyboards but I'd love to be able to practice pedals. Looking forward to watching the next video. 🙂
I was lucky to go and play Damon's Standaart last month! I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't overpoweringly loud. I managed to trip the power supply twice when playing it! Also, Damon gave me a Vox Humana tab from the Standaart which is an original one from when his console was only 4 ranks! (I also have piston set 14 on his organ lol)
Wow, what a clever home organ install! It sounds great. But I'm one of those yanks who will ask impertinent questions. Did you add any reverb 'in post'? Either way, can't believe you don't have more subscribers, so I've subscribed!

Great job on the installation - and some nice playing too.
I saw a video about Ricki`s installation and it`s a wonder his house didn`t fall down! You play very well Al, I envy you.
Ex Savoy super cinema, Folkestone organ.
Well done on a great install!
What a great set up with such limited ranks some lovely sounds
Indeed!

Very nice!
Id love to try that Standaart, its a lovely installation and a cracking little organ!
People are welcome to come and play when it’s mutually convenient!

I must admit, I did add a tiny amount to help the mix slightly. A very very small amount
One other thing, being from Chicago, the brand name tickled my mind. Is it pronounced with that "hard r?"
Is your place open for visits as I know this organ.
