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.


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.
