Re: Do the old analogs have a certain charm?
I remember that old Conn Tube Minuet I played on some had an Oboe 8 on the upper manual, and Reed 8 on the Lower Manual. It seems the Oboe and String tones were closely related, but I could tell it was very similiar to an Oboe. I enjoyed this organ because the coupler system with those 8' pitched stops were most interesting in how they built up their tones. The pedals were so rich, firm, etc. and all were pitched at 16'. Sub Bass, Major Bass, and Echo Bass. I don't think there was any Sustain on this model. It was a decent home organ for its day and time, and was above many others.</P>
