I put this here instead of in Classical Specifications because it is for a 4 manual 74 stop organ that is neither extant, nor planned. This is in the category of the "dream specification" for which I have found no suitable place on this forum, as if you post anything this big in the Classical Specifications forum, your post gets shut down. My aim with this organ was to put everything I thought I would need for hymns and classical repertoire both, plus some fun stops of my own taste. My initial influence for this was French Classic, but I'm not sure how well this represents it, since it also contains influences from French Romantic, and even from the Germans. Basically, I tried to design a stop list that had what I thought an organ would need to be able to basically do everything a church organ would need to do: including play recitals for visiting organists and students! Without further ado, here we go!
All manuals are 61 notes, with 32 pedals. All couplers are unison only (no super or sub-octaves).
