My favorite Tone wheel organ is the Hammond X-77 GT, as like this organ, you can play such classical tunes, other than just jazz and blues music. Very good playing!
I have a Hammond Elegante, but there is something that the real tone wheel organs have that can't really be dupicated electronically. You can actually hear the metallic tone wheels magnetic qualities... a sound I've been able to hear since I had a Hammond L100 at this girls age.
I read on someone's Hammond web site that this is the last tonewheel model produced. It's an R-195 with a "Mediterranean" cabinet. Built in Leslie speaker and a cool Automatic Rhythm feature.
I've got a few pipes built, but i don't know if they will make the cut. I just cobbled them from scrap around the shop. Mostly i've been practicing my calliope repertoire. I've even divised a way to fit "the entertainer" onto a three octave keyboard. A lot of jigs, and reels. So when I finally build it, I will be able to play it with great ability.
I'd like to find a source of music written in a minimum number of octaves. I'd like to see a caliope pipe making video. Right now I'm making a flue pipe video as I build some more pipes. It was the only area on my organ I hadn't shown.
I am an ELCA Luheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. Today (May 3), we sang this as our opening hymn. It is #385 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship. Just thought I'd share.
Great job on a good old hymn!!! (After reading a previous comment, I carefully listened several times and couldn't identify even one mistake. Wish I was that good.) *****

I am quite jealous of that organ. Pedalboard, two full manuals, great lighting. This is a tonewheel model is it not?

How is the caliope project coming?

if i ever get a camera, i'll be sure to make a video. I love the music by the way. Are you learning to play any?

Have to give you 1 Star because you are playing in shoes! You would play much better in your stockings and make less mistakes without the shoes!
