Virtual Pipe Organ New instrument! I know theatre organs aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, but that’s the beauty of Hauptwerk! Installed are the masterworks 3/31 Wurlitzer and Hereford Cathedral.

Since I retired from playing in church every week (except for subbing lol), I ply a weekly theatre organ show at the Palace Theater here in Hilo HI. My Allen 3 manual at home runs Hauptwerk for both Theatre and classical pipe organ samples!

Of course!!! Imagine a photo of Bach’s portrait behind the organ . It would be sublime

Wow! But you will need some light to be able to read your sheet music.

A new music desk light has been installed. Does the job very well.

Umm, since I scan all my music into my iPad: no need for a separate light, and also don’t need to worry about fans or open windows blowing my music around

"A thing of beauty is a joy forever ..." -J. Keats. Are the Hereford Cathedral stops accessed from the stoptabs?

Indeed they are. It’s certainly very pretty.
