@ai6yr Oof. Not a fan of that recording. What's the rush?

@ColesStreetPothole LOL, hey, Columbia paid that person for that recording in 1910 πŸ€ͺ

@ai6yr He probably was paid by the piece, not the hour.
Show threadRandy_underscore_SJun 10
@ColesStreetPothole @ai6yr I'm guessing they were rushing to get the entire piece onto one side of a 78 RPM 10" (I wonder how many shellac disks are rotting in a landfill right now with a full piece of music minus the last note or two XD) And I love the Oragan but not feeling like driving all the way to Portland to pick it up πŸ₯

@randy_s @ai6yr Didn't think of that. I've got a few albums where you literally have to turn them over to hear the rest of the piece. πŸ˜†

β€œOver the past couple of years I have written a number of film music transcriptions on and for the organ of the Royal Albert Hall in London. While the transcriptions are written with this organ in mind, often calling for specific colours such as the bass drum, carillons or tubular bells, they are adaptable on […]

Our local movie theater, Loew's Jersey City, has a Robert Morton Wonder Organ that they re-installed (long story) about 20 years ago. Seeing this in action is a hell of a thing. 😎 Took my kids to see a movie, and were treated to a "soft launch" of the organ, a few nights before this video was shot. There are pipes on both sides of the stage. Magical experience.

@ColesStreetPothole @ClimateJenny @JohnJBurnsIII @bruce @MLE_online Hammond M3. Not as desirable as the B3 (which is highly desired for its sound... although people have ingested that into modern digital processors). I have run into three, and only acquired the one (for free... fixed it, but then sold it to someone--they said it was for their band, but it COULD have been more flippers 🀷). There were a rash of them showing up here a few years back. (I also ran into a B3 which I could have snagged for a song, but those are GIGANTIC.... the ones bands take on tour are specially cut down to be portable). Again, good thing I don't own a barn, lol.

If I could snag a B3, it would be for more than just a song, I'd use it for a LOT of songs . . . after I learned how to play. πŸ˜‚

@ai6yr A friend of the family built and maintained organs, way back in the day. In his house he had one that spanned two floors. I assume that after they sold the house, someone bulldozed it and rebuilt.
