@@TheJakeman789 it would sound much better with really good acoustics. The room is much more important than the actual organ

Some of the LDS church buildings have these organs.

It certainly has more ranks than the AP-16 I play in my ward.

How much wind pressure does that 32' contra bourdon have?

@nyturralde1 2 жыл бұрын

I am confused as to how to bypass the presets besides creating your own. For example, when I am playing a prelude selection, and I want to add a stop or delete a stop, how do I do that when everything is preset? I think I am missing something here.

Once the preset is recalled from the piston, you can manually edit the stops using the switches on the top of the organ. You won't override the existing combination in memory unless you save it, and if you want to undo your edit and return to the preset, just hit the desired piston again.

That fact that you made this video is scary, if someone has to watch this video, then they don’t need to be playing the organ.

Why not? Were you born knowing how to play? I'm a pianist and can play the organ fine, but I hope to learn how all the bells and whistles work to make things sound nicer.

We have an LD-34 organ which is very similar to the LD-34b. There are few things here that I would like to comment on. I appreciate this video, but these are important comments. 1. Dr. Cook doesn't seem to use the suggested piston settings in Memories 15 and 16 when he plays. I wish he would share his settings. They are very pleasant to hear and I would love to know his settings. 2. The suggestion of depressing the Swell and Great to full capacity and leaving the Crescendo Pedal completely off does not work at all as Dr. Cook suggests on our organ. The Swell and Great are far too loud for our meetings, even on General Piston 1 on prelude selections. I'm not sure why that is so, but perhaps Dr. Cook's suggestion works on his organ and not others. 3. I do not use Memories 15 and 16 for anything other than as a starting point from which I can SAVE to another Piston setting in my personal Memories and modify. It's hard for me to believe that the Church and Allen Organ Company collaborated on the suggested 15 and 16 Memories. 4. I loved the final hymn Dr. Cook plays. I wish he would share his stop settings. I wish there were an audio of what Memories 15 and 16 should sound like and I could get a repair technician to hear the comparison and figure out if our organ is just not correct. I've had the technician out several times and am not happy with how our organ sounds. Some pedals on some stops are a half step out of tune, especially our 32' stops on lower notes. Thanks Dr. Cook for your lesson here. I appreciate it and gained much. I love our organ and everyone loves the way I play it, which is far different than demonstrated here. I've been playing for 55 years and Allen organs are my favorites.

Memories 15 and 16 are preset but not locked and it is not only possible but common for people to save their own combinations on top of them. When I was a stake organist I would regularly check them and correct the settings to factory every so often. The spec sheet, which may be in the bench but is definitely available for download, will give you the factory registration. I quite like these organ models, very versatile for a two manual instrument.
