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.
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:

Delivery schedule must be a bitch.

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.

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.

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.
