Here's the description of the U.S. Naval Academy's Chapel pipe organ from the Academy's website:
The Naval Academy Chapel organ dates back to 1908. The Hutchins Organ Company of Boston, MA built the original instrument. Through the years, the organ has undergone several enhancements and renovations. The current instrument, comprised of both pipe and digital voices, totals 268 ranks and is controlled by two consoles.
@twbtgb I do so love that fact that Americans find the history of their pipe organs very interesting yet few are over 150 years old...
I mean my local church organ is aabout 200 years old, and down the road there is another that is even older, so the thing is who gives a damn how old it is just listen and enjoy!
@Matebod I love the old organs too, but I have a Yamaha CP5, along with my acoustic Baldwin, and I assure you it is unfathomable how good it sounds. We're not talking the electric pianos of the past, though it can emulate them, we're in a whole other dimension now of replicating the exact sound (or as close as perception allows) of the acoustic instruments. Face it, the only reason you thought of this track as from a digital organ is because it was told to us it was. Peace.
Praise the Lord.

It is unfortunate that this is a digital organ.
In the Netherlands we have real organs.
Look for it on youtube: John Propitius!
This is an organ! (dating back to 1781)
And so we have many more!

@Matebod Rest on those laurels while you still can. Digital sound is only going to get better at the speed of Moore's Law so hold on to your hat!
