I happen to live in the Town where Taylor & Boody is, I went to the open house they had for the Organ made for St. Michael's Episcopal church in Bon Air, Virginia. Then I was able to go in the next day and play the Organ.
@bongdrop Actually they're completely separate. They're both trackers so they can't be connected anyway. The organ in the Chancel is an eclectic all-purpose tracker by Hellmuth-Wolff, the organ in the gallery is a German-Baroque tracker built by the Taylor and Boody organ company. Two very, very different instruments.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have a Taylor and Boody at my PCUSA church. I love how well it is crafted. Every detail is well thought out. Ours is a bit smallar though. Did you get to play it???
@octavebasse8 Check out our new organ at St. Michael's Episcopal church in Bon Air, Virginia. It's a T&B with big swell reeds, celeste, and all the stuff you need to play Vierne, etc.! And that's just the beginning! (...and thanks for the compliments!)
Nope...actually, my church installed one of these in 1992. They replicate nearly every detail of a historic tracker organ though, down to how the pipes are formed. They are a remarkable company, and worth the high price!!
@mattsplace85 Right on. I love the principles (sp?) on this magnificent organ. I am assuming that is what the organist is using in his registration. Sorry - I am very interested on pipe organs, but I am a bit of a "noob".
hey...when were u here reese?!?

I'm assuming that both the chancel organ and the gallery organ are connected from the chancel keyboard, as the echo division.

@mattsplace85 Aren't they just the best? Or, at least for Baroque.

They really are. They have quite a reputation. Florida State University has a very large one as well.

I love the "chiffing" sound of those old pipes. I am assuming this is a real old organ?
