My organ teacher playing this piece of which I can't remember the title. I'm Sorry...The 32' Posaune Is full length...if you look at the far right of the facade..its behind the grill cloth. Taken on the 86 rank Aeolian Skinner pipe organ at Second Presbyterian church in Indianapolis, IN.
@ATLKapellmeister Well I obviously know that NOW. Two years ago I didn't. And if you'll notice, I also said "Well the base of it is anyway"

@octavegeigen4 Sorry, but this is NOT the Farnam O Fili et Filiae. There are some quotes from it, but it's not the piece. Sounds like an improvisation.

I mean the one at Scottish Rite, by the way. I realize I mad it sound like I was referring to the one at Christ Church. sorry.

Ok yes, I apologize I mixed the gallery organ with another I have played...yes it is indeed 3 manuals and 50 some ranks. But, in my opinion and from many opinions I've heard, it's not worth the time and trouble to play.

Well, AllenOrganCrazy, I hate to tell you, but you're wrong. The Gallery Organ at Christ Episcopal Cathedral on Monument Circle in Indianapolis is not 20 ranks nor is it two manuals. I have played that organ more than 10 times as I tend to love Taylor and Boody instruments for Bach repretoire. It is indeed 3 manuals (hauptwerk, brustwerk and ruckpositiv) and pedal and has 37 voices with 53 ranks of pipes. Also, I found getting into Scottish Rite very easy by being nice to the facility mgr!

I agree. St. Lukes will make you literally cry it is soooo wonderful. I had video's of it on here but the church asked me to remove them for copyright infringement issues.

lol good luck getting into Scottish Rite Cody. It's a member only organization. It's a 5 manual organ that almost every organist in the city drools over..they forbid anyone to play that is not a Guild member. It's not a church. As for Christ church, yes they have a 4 manual French style tracker in the chancel and a 2 manual tracker in the gallery. haha 54 ranks?? no wayyy. maybe 20 or so. I agree. I'm not too much of a fan of Casavant's organs either in that time period.

I found out I actually own this piece. It is in one of Gordon Young's books.
