  • I guess you haven't heard a Marshall & Ogletree yet ;-)

  • @riverscuomo06 While it's usually impossible to tell who built an organ based upon the swell shoes because many are not built by the organbuilder, there are a couple that are very distinct. Case and point: Casavant and Austin.

  • Actually it is a 100% digital organ. Apparently, a condition of the donor was that the organ have NO nameplate of any kind. The console is custom built -- word on the street says R.A. Colby built it -- and the electronics are Walker Technical. It's amazingly realistic. VERY live acoustics. Voiced way too loudly for my taste. Tutti is nearly deafening. Still, about the most convincing digital I've heard to date.

  • Believe it or not, this makes a GREAT wedding processional, even in a small church. The trick is timing of the party's walk.

    When the trumpet comes in at the third half of the piece, the bride makes her slow procession and ends at the alter at the end of the piece. Really works well. I've never heard anyone else the piece for a wedding processional.

  • My first and favorite version of this piece if Fred Swann playing the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Washington DC on the Moller. The Pontifical Trumpet works well for this piece. I like it so much, when I got married, I rented an electric Baldwin with full pedalboard so my organist could play this piece as our wedding processional. The Baptist Church had a small Hammond that would have been impossible to play any of the pieces the organist was asked to play. to be cont'd.

  • well, i didn't hear you speak that comment, and it looks like the tone you're using is "everybody knows those swell shoes are casavant ones." no hard feelings man. ctfo.

  • Well, excuuuuse me. I've been building and maintaining pipe organs for 20 years and hold two Masters degrees in music. I was just making a comment.

  • sorry i don't know every kind of organ by their swell shoes...yeesh.

  • If the swell shoes are any indication, it's a Casavant.

  • what kind of organ is this?
