A 1927 Kilgen Theatre organ console fitted with an Opus-Two MIDI system and Linux based PC for sound generation.

More videos to come as I get more work done. I will show a video of it in operation when I can get someone to play it for me.

It is a very unfinished project!

  • How would it have produce sound back in 1927, as they did not have midi controllers or computers?

  • @haz939 It originally was a pipe organ.

  • Can,t wait.... Love to hear !!

  • I do have a video uploaded called "First sounds from the organ" that you can hear a couple of the stops on, but it doesn't sound like much through my camera microphone.

    Unfortunately the organ has sat since then, and will probably never be finished. I had high hopes for it, but I ran out of time and money to work on it. Though someday I might have some help, and I could start working on it again. It's been a fun project. If I have to sell it, I'll try to get some more videos first.

  • That is a wicked project. I wish I had the time and the focus to take on and see through a project like that. I bet the local organ musicians will be lining up to try out your new toy once it is complete. Make sure you add a sequencing feature to capture the songs that some of your more talented visitors may crank out.

  • The control system in the console has a record function, but I haven't got it working 100% yet.

    Have you seen the later videos of the organ? This video is pretty old.

see all

  • are you loking for a hammond or a theater organ lik this one in the video?

  • unfortunately, there really is no such thing as cheap wen it comes to buying organs, lol the cheapest second hand one would still come in at a couple of thousand, im 15 and i started about a year or two ago, and i looked and looked and look and to my disappointment, i found nothing, Hope you have better luck!

    Regards
