  • can this organ sound like a regular pipe organ?

  • @itscodyw HI - If what you mean is "Can it sound like a church pipe organ?" - the answer is "In some ways yes". While the mechinical parts and how they make the pipes play are similar - the pressure of the wind and the way the pipes are constructed are vastly different from Classical or Church organs. The tremulant (vibrato) of theatre organs really sets them apart from classical/church instruments. Hope that answers your question.

  • beautiful playing and an excellent sound!

  • Many thanks for the compliment. I think this was the first video I recorded on this organ.

  • ...and the many grand pianos? Reproducing player pianos, perhaps?

  • You're pretty close. There are 5 grands in my house/studio. Two of them are reproducing grands from 1927/1927. One is an Chickering Ampico A the other a Steinway XR Duo-Art. I also have restored 1895 Geo F Steck grand next to the organ - it has a PIanoDisc system in it.

    One of my uprights is a 1919 Weber Duo-Art too. Then there are 2 "regular" pianos....both Steinways. It sort of looks like a factory showroom to some!

  • one of my favorite christmas tunes.

  • It was that good I gave it 5 stars.I now have 2 videos on Youtube,got any requests for a christmas song or carol?

  • Wonderful rendition of the 1941 Irving Berlin hit. We probably have many people in your area that we know or knew in common. I must also complement the installer for what sounds like a decent installation as well. Keep the vids coming, it is one of the few ways I can hear something new on the Mighty Theater Pipe Organ these days.

  • I own a 1923 Knabe Ampico grand, a Seeburg L coin piano, a Vose upright player piano, and a Wurlitzer electronic theatre organ with Leslie speaker.

    ...My house also looks a bit like a showroom!

    I restored automatic instruments when in college and after.

    Music is a pleasure or profession for you?

    In California?
