What he would do is flip through the pages to find song titles he'd like and then play those. Basically what I do except I *can* read music. I've always wanted a Flentrop pipe organ so I could play Bach and Handel properly. Get a harpsichord. More practical for home use playing classical acoustic music. Here's an interesting video: http://tinyurl.com/2tq26c Delivery schedule must be a bitch. Eisboch I tried a harpsichord one, and didn't like it. It didn't like me, either. It's a pipe organ I want. I was just viewing a website about an hour ago about a guy that developed an accessory box for Hammond drawbar organs. The box allowed the drawbar settings on the organ to be processed as stops for pipes generated within his product. There's a video of him demonstrating it on a Hammond XK3 (the predecessor to the one I am getting) and it sounds absolutely fantastic. Not a Hammond sound at all .... apparently the box generates it's own tones .... but uses the Hammond's drawbar stops. I'll look for the website again and pass it on if I can find it. Eisboch I've got a big room in the house with a 20' peaked ceiling... Unfortunately, it is our family room, and I doubt my wife would turn it over to me to house a pipe organ. In that case, you need to buy the George Eastman House, which already has a pipe organ. Sometimes the simplest solution is the best. I have a friend in Great Falls, VA, who built a special "rec room" to house his pipe organ. It is totally separate from the house, looks like a barn, but is built of brick, with gorgeous wood beams. Several weddings have been held there. That is what you need to do, you would love it |

Eisboch Found it. Scroll down to the second video and play it. Sound quality isn't the best, but you will get the idea. It's being used on a XK3 with the optional lower manual. http://www.pianoorgandepot.com/Elegante/CS-220.html Eisboch Well, it is interesting, to be sure, but it sounds more electronic to me than pipe organy. Here's a Hildebrandt: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idhHq...eature=related wow, nice that is something you don't see in every home. |
