Thank you, I heard this on the organ for the first time. Very interesting.

@teereiner Ich könnte mich einige von diesen vorstellen, die auf Ihren Spielzeugklavieren gespielt wurden.

--- I could imagine some of these played on your toy pianos.

The Bartok does indeed sound splendid. Thank you for posting..

I noticed a nice photo of the instrument on the builder's website. If I read the disposition correctly it has ten ranks? Impressive! The photo shows twelve draw knobs, so that probably is correct. Were you using a reed stop in No, 53? Sorry, I'll stop pestering you with questions now.

@Green4321 Hello. Opus27 has 9 ranks. There is an 8' trumpet on manual II. This is also avail on the pedal by "transmission" so there are two trumpet stop knobs on the organ.

@Green4321 I've added a stop list in the description for each piece and added a couple more videos.

I like. Congratulations on thinking outside of the piano box.

Awesome organ capable of the fine colors you have created.

@daasvand Thanks. Its about 8' tall but it has 8' pipes that are stopped so it can make a low 16' sound. I didn't use that on this recording though.
