What can I say ... when you have a limited budget but an unlimited imagination, there are ways to at least partially address shortcomings in your pipe organ's specifications. I have posted these lurid tell-alls hoping they might inspire others with inadequate instruments to find innovative ways to augment them when adequate funds or space are lacking to do things correctly and properly.

  • Well, it is at best a clever compromise, as I said. This would not be my choice for any pipe organ if funds and space are available for an instrument of sufficient scope.

  • I also really like the way the organ sounds around 1:43-1:45. The Casavant organ i played once also sounds like this sometimes. Do you know why they sound like this? Its really nice, and i've never heard anything other than a Casavant organ make this sound.

  • Don't know. What you are hearing is the Great Trumpet at 8 and 4 ft. and amplified to "Mirabilis" proportions!

  • Yes, I have discussed this in the organ forums. I agree with you it's too bad we can't fill the chamber with pipes; it's simply not in the picture financially at this time. And no, they don't see the audio enhancement as an excuse not to do better. It's a matter of using what I have done or not having any enhancement at all.

  • WOW! Thats so innovative!

  • my full name is Janice-Lee Casavant no joke

  • Im a Casavant! Really. Hillary Jean Casavant! Jean is my middle name.

  • I think it might be the 4 ft coupler, because last week i was playing a casavant organ, and the organ would sound like yours did when the 4ft coupler was on

  • I see this as the way of the future. Accoustic organs with amplified reinforcement. Makes perfect sense.

  • It think these videos are great. It seems like you did a good job maximizing the resources of the organ. Nice sounding Casavant!
