cute toy

I somehow prefer Gebr Decap organs pneumatically operated with pipework (such as the 'Marcel' at Thursford) to Frans Decap instruments such as these which are based around Hammond organs

[petermackett37]

@ceredigio Me too but these organs are fine for what they are made for,i have always preferred pipe organs!

[ceredigio]

@petermackett37 Does Frans Decap himself do all the arrangements for these organs?

[petermackett37]

@ceredigio No,most of them are from the late Albert Decap but i think Decap Herentals do arrange too.

[ceredigio]

@petermackett37 Was Albert Decap around when Decap began making electronic organs? I believe he passed away two or three years ago.

[ceredigio]

@petermackett37 I believe Decap Herentals built the first of these types of organs (based around midi sound modules) in 1994, Christine Barker's 'Strictly ballroom' may have been one of the first if not the first. Before then Gebroeders Decap built Hammond-based organs (including the famous 'robot bands') which were book-operated, these organs I guess are the modern successors to those ones.

[ceredigio]

@petermackett37 Did A Decap arrange these tunes?

[ceredigio]

@petermackett37 If Albert Decap originally arranged them for pipe organs then the arrangements must have been digitised for these organs.

[petermackett37]

@ceredigio Yes,they would have scanned the books to midify them.

[ceredigio]

@petermackett37 Does this organ live in Wiltshire?

[petermackett37]

@ceredigio No,Warwickshire,i believe.

@deinecinderella Danke,Jutta!,this is a very modern organ using all electronics to make the sounds,there are no pipes in it,these are built for using in cafes and dance halls and most popular in Belgium,so happy you liked the video,meine liebe freundin!
