Re: Got a new organ finally!
[quote user="Clarion"]
[quote user="andyg"] Most of the pipe organs I play don't have AGO pedalboards either. Early experience of playing as many different pedalboard 'shapes and sizes' as possible gave the later ability to acclimatize almost instantly from anything to anything. That experience included 25 note flat (a la Lowrey, Hammond etc), 32 note AGO/RCO and non-standard. Plus 27 note straight+concave, 25 note flat, non radiating, 13 note spinet (lots of them!), 25 note radiating spinet, to name just a few.[/quote]</p>

Thefact that the AGOspecification exists, is a monument to the rejection of all the above-mentioned bad ideas you have suggested. If itwere not for all of those bad ideas, there would have been noneedfor standardizationfrom the beginning; and a recent nightmare with a Farfasia spinet, has contributed significantly to my resolve to embrace that which has merit; and reject the unlovely and uncouth. [:(]</p>
I see very little merit in lending credence to the continued existence of these malformed contraptions that should have been dead and buried decades ago. Sure, they are dying; but far too slowly to apease my inclinations. [:S]] And I remain somewhat less than convinced that a teenage organist should pursueany interaction with any of these surviving denizens of a somewhat less than lustrous era of manufacturing cheap toys for themasses of Saturday afternoon musicians!</p>[/quote]
WHAT? That's as absurd as saying that drivers should only drive one type of car. We already have the compact LHD sedan with FWD automatic transmission, thus no one should bother driving, coupes, wagons, hatchbacks, pick ups, SUVs, crossovers, or roadsters. For that matter, don't bother learning to drive manual transmission cars and forget about learning how to handle vehicles with RWD, AWD, and 4WD, these vehicles are an abomination and once all those old cars return to the dust, we can all drive to the store to buy 2% milk taking the same roads at the same speed.

I think that a 30 note flat or some other historical pedalboard would be better than 25 sticks, even if AGO is best, because the 30n flats at least have historical examples but the 25 sticks are just a cheapening measure taken by certain poor builders.

Re- got a new organ-- WERSI?
Well the person with the lowrey was not getting my emails, and he did not even try emailing me back to see if I was still interested. But finally he got them weeks later, but he had already gave the organ away.</p>
</p>
Well......... A $200 Wersi Galaxy-- that massive 3 manual wersi-- has come my way. Maybe I will try that. It sure is one heck of a home organ.</p>
</p>
THE PEDALS!!!!! My fav! European pedals! flat 30 notes!!! ah they are so easy to play. Much better than AGO.</p>
</p>
So now I get a cheezy hammondy synth organ! Maybe Midi will be easy to add!? What do you think? </p>Comment
