Cameron is brilliant, as usual! The organ is garbage!

@marcelormrg Do you play? 

[marcelormrg]

@Zylstra555 haters will hate

[goodchappy]

@OrganNLou Also this recording is Mono which doesn't help the cause.

However Hauptwerk would beat this hands down, this to me sounds dead.

[goodchappy]

@virtuose60 Yes Hauptwerk would leave this for dust.

Cameron, how could you have allowed yourself to use your extraordinary talent on this rubbish instrument?!!

[Zylstra555]

Just to clarify, I didn't know this was showing an electronic instrument since I had not read the description. But the first key he pressed, I knew... this is a terrible sounding organ. It is plain, lacks brilliance, and sounds like transistor technology. The combination action, three manuals, and very realistic console style would make it a good practice instrument, but definitely not a performance instrument.

@JRSoubasse That's an ignorant statement. Virgil would be his biggest fan.

He will never measure up to the greatest organist of all time, Dr. Virgil Fox!
