A few years ago, I had the privilege of visiting the pipe organs at Community of Christ headquarters. Dr. Jan Kraybill was absolutely wonderful and gave me a very thorough demonstration and organ case tour while I was there. Both instruments were wonderful, but the "Temple Organ" was my favorite!
This is Dr. Kraybill giving a tour of stops of the magnificent Casavant Temple organ. I apologize for the shaky camera work, but at least the sound is very nice. I used a couple of AT 4041 mics recorded through a Mackie mixer to a DAT deck. Feel free to ask questions and leave comments!
Leave it to Casavant to build a truly outstanding organ!

The 10-2/3, 4-4/7 and 3-5/9 in the III Theorbe is an uncommon combination.

Absolutely beautiful top notch instrument. Talented organist who clearly has a passion for the instrument. And that registration at 4:30 is just to die for. A 5-star video indeed.

An interesting and informative demonstration by a consummate musician who clearly loves the instrument. Very well filmed and recorded. Thanks.

The Casavant in Notre Dame Basilica in Montréal's solo division is labelled as the résonance organ as well, if my memory serves correct. Thank you for uploading this demonstration, it further proves that Casavant organs are in a class of their own.
