Nice to hear from you Clive. I had the lessons for about six months but developed an eye problem which prevented me from being able to get best value from the lessons. Not much better after an operation but just love playing.

Thanks for your kind comment. The Viscount Empire Theatre Organ was first made in about 1994 although my organ is only two years old. New ones are still available. All the pipes are samples of real Wurlitzers and I believe that variation one set of pipes was recorded in the home of Len Rawle using the organ he rescued from the Leicester Square Empire. Variation two pipes are from other Wurlitzers.

The timbre in the beginning sounds very much like the timbre of the M50 Intercontinental's Drawbars (A Jazz organ by Viscount)

Hi Keith

I didn't realize that it was you playing at first -------- You're sounding very good !

I seem to remember thinking how much you were improving when you started taking lessons although I'm not sure if you kept them up .

However, that was well played Keith

Interesting sound and Great playing! How old is that organ? It sounds like one of the late analog organs from the late 70's (like a rodgers 340) or one of the first realistic sampled organs (like the rodgers 360 and some Allens too)
