My chamber organ

Jimor:
Hahah, the one place I neglected to look. Thanks!

harpsichordman:
Looks like a marvelous organ - congratulations are in order! I make a similar instrument, in the form of a "box" organ at which one stands; I also use Hauptwerk as the sample system runningn on a PC. I use a tiny class T amp driving two bookshelf speakers, all of which is ample for a very convincing sound for the sampled organ I use. The visual interface is an 8-inch touch screen. What make my version different is that I manufacture a wood keyboard - ebony naturals and walnut sharps - with much shorter keydip. This feature makes the instument easier to play for those who regularly play pneumatic continuo organs which characteristically speak at the top of the key travel. This is due to the sticker, which normally sits directly on the pallet valve. In the event, my instrument(s) are used by the Historical Performance Institute at Indiana University for rehearsal and classroom use, but frequently find themselves on stage for performances, thus relieving our organ curator of the task of tuning before performances. No one seems to notice that these are not pneumatic instruments.

Thanks for the comments!  What samples do you use in your organ?
