The very first virtual theatre pipe organ available for Hauptwerk. This is a small 8 rank WurliTzer organ being played virtually by theatre organist Jelani Eddington.

  • Just listened to this tune on high quality. Wonderful! I just can't get enough of those throaty-airy sweet sounds of theatre pipe organs. The quality of the reverb is excellent as well. Love the way this tune is played: true 20s 30s swing feel to go along with the fantastic sound.

    I am very happy to know that organs (all kinds) are slowly regaining the status they deserve.

  • In this particular case, why, yes, yes it is.

    Each of those instruments spawned whole new genres of music. Each of them was a FAILED attempt to duplicate a sound which already existed, but in a cheaper and/or more portable form. Each was a happy ACCIDENT.

    The theatre pipe organ itself was an attempt to duplicate a whole orchestra, the original means of providing in-theater music tracks for silent movies, but requiring only one musician instead of dozens — thus the name "unit orchestra."

  • wait jelani eddington ive met him

  • Jelani is the BEST! And the stop tab hanging from the key ring is just perfect!

  • Very good!!

  • There is something special about tubes, transistors, tone wheels etc. because they tend to adapt to your playing. There is an interaction going on where the organ takes on a new life with these real parts being electrified.

    Any thoughts on developing Hauptwerk of the electronic theater organs of the 60's? They're still my choice in theater organs. I know it sounds like a misnomer, but as COMALiteJ said, ' ...each of them was a FAILED attempt to duplicate a sound which already existed...'

  • sounds like he is playing the theme from the movie Gidget.

  • Sounds great! How do you look up with a MIDI keyboards and pedal board on your computer? The reason that I like Allen digital organs is that they do not limit their organs to being a real pipe organ, they also added professional features as sustain (Bell like fading away effect), transposer, additional MIDI voices and more. Can this software offers these items?
