Tom, get the bass guitar. You're spending too much time in front of the
computer. Your brain's going to turn to grape nuts.


Mrs.E. announced an early Christmas gift for me .... being delivered next
week.

My dad had one of those way back when. The organ console was in the
living room, but the leslie was in the dining room. For a while, every
time he played, he'd have a fairly huge cable going from one to the
other. Then he drilled a hole in the LR floor and ran the cable along
the basement trusses until it came up behind the speaker cabinet in the
dining room.

He was a pretty damned good "theater" and pop music organist, but played
entirely by ear. Could not read music, even when he was a mummer in
Philly. If he heard a song once, he knew it.

Dad had a collection of "fake books." Remember those? What he would do
is flip through the pages to find song titles he'd like and then play those.

I've always wanted a Flentrop pipe organ so I could play Bach and Handel
properly.

Basically what I do except I *can* read music.

Get a harpsichord. More practical for home use playing classical acoustic
music.

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.

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.

Well, it is interesting, to be sure, but it sounds more electronic to me
than pipe organy.

It's a lousy recording. It was done with the camcorder microphone.
I took the time to download the 64MB wav file which sounds much better on a
decent sound system

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. Still, a room with 18' pipes...the
sound would be...wonderful...low enough to knock the house right off its
foundation!

My recollection of the drawbars was that several of them could be set to
simulate 16' or 8' pipes, but not with what you are describing, which
would be fantasic.

In that case, you need to buy the George Eastman House, which already has a
pipe organ. Sometimes the simplest solution is the best.
