Well, I might as well make it official. In a few weeks, I'll be receiving an Allen ADC-8000DKC--with my long-awaited and long coveted 32' Pedal Reed!:-> The questions I've been asking the last week are generally for the benefit of the shipper. There is one question I need to ask, because the photos don't appear to coincide with the recent information I received on the ADC-8000DKC materials from a service manual.
It appears Allen customized this organ for the initial purchaser, but only modified the Choir (see substitute stops pictured below--Bold are the new stops). Rather than the traditional Baroque-leaning Choir stops specified on the materials I received, it looks like the original purchaser wanted a more 1920s sound, or theatre sound. If I don't use the Vibrato, I'm wondering if the stops will blend well with the remainder of the organ, or if it will be too heavy sounding. Of course, I know I can probably voice most of the issues out of it, but don't want to alter it too much.
Thanks in advance for your input.
