@PaulWesten Thanks. If you look in my videos, you'll find a much more recent video of this organ. This video was taken when i barely knew what I was doing. The new one is much better.

Very nice playing.

@bartonorgan I plan on posting more in the future. this is nowhere near my best work, as making a 4/36 Wurlitzer that has been put on full organ sound good is tough. but up in Indianapolis, there's a lovely 3/18 Grande Barton. I love the instrument. I will try to post some of it, as well as the tiny 2/11 Page/Wurlitzer hybrid instrument also in Indy. Thanks for the compliment!

Sounds great! Have you considered going to the ATOS summer youth camp? I have attended for the past two years, and I have had a blast both times.

Also, how did you like the delay? Being from St. Louis, I've played that one a few times, and the 1/3 second delay takes getting used to.

@pbshilli to me it actually seemed quite responsive. There was a bit of a delay, but it was nothing i had trouble with. I happen to like a bit of delay in the instruments. I may attend the summer camp at some point, but given that it is only a 4-day event, and costs around $300, i doubt i will. I'm the youngest organist i know of, 14 years old. I think the people at the Fox, especially Al Haker, were suprised when i just sat down and started registering the instrument. funny...

@The2010SnowDay If the sound will be a problem, I'd suggest working with a Hauptwerk virtual setup. It's tougher to set up, but you can use headphones. Also sounds way more realistic. They have a free sampleset that runs on the free version. It's only 10 ranks, but its a 3- manual.

Great Job! I wish there was a theater organ in my area. I'm still looking for an electronic one, but the one instrument my parents can't stand is the theater organ. :( My mom just doesn't like it but my step-dad grew up with it and never liked it.
