Jack Moelmann - St. Louis Scottish Rite Organ - Part 1

[ATLKapellmeister]

Is there not a Theatre console to play on?

[furrypeanut1]

@ATLKapellmeister No, all the ranks are playable from this console. The theatre ranks, like the tibia, and the ranks with theatre tremulants, vox humana, and several strings, are located in the swell. the posaune also features a theatre tremulant. The rest of the organ features classical trems.

Very VERY nice sound. It is a classic concert type instrument yet plays popular music well.

I didn't know that Kimball made pipe organs? I always thought that they made electric organs. But it does sound pretty anyway. No matter if it's an electric organ or a pipe organ.

They made very fine pipe organs up until 1942, when they went into wartime manfacture for defense....and never built pipe organs post war:( After WWII they did indeed make electronic organs & pianos for many years.

Excellent job, Jack! That organ has a great theatre sound, as did all of those auditorium Kimballs.

I love me a Kimball!
