    Are you refering to groups of 9 numbers like 007363622 ? I think on an aurora (I haven't seen one for ages) You will have a tab that says "drawbars' Pull out the drawbarson the set of nine, from left to right, till the number shows, depress the "drawbars" tab for the upper keyboard and play a note and you will get a kind of clarinet sound.

      No, that isn't what I'm referring to.</p>

      With the Aurora and the Classic, and I suspect others, the music in the course will have a number that refers to a suggested registration for that song.</p>

      For instance, it might have the #4 as the suggested, and looking at the guide it would show the registration suggestion for upper, lower and pedals.  #4 might be a clarinet, the registration would show that tonebar setting for the upper.</p>

      Does that make it more clear?</p>

        Many of those books used to have the master registrations inside the back cover, Lloyd, but maybe not in this case. I will ask around some of my students to see if they've got copies of the books. I think they're all done by Hal Leonard publishing and the same settings went in most books. If I can get one I'll scan it and email it to you direct.</P>


        For what it's worth, these 'numbered' registrationsare almost all pretty poor. Heaven knows how they came up with some of them! I personally wouldn't even bother with them, I always get my students to 'feel' their way into the piece. Does it need a light sound or something with a bit more beef? Should there be a recognisable solo voice - clarinet for Stranger on the Shore, trumpet for Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White, and so on.</P>

        It's not what you play. It's not how you play. It's the fact that you're playing that counts.

          Thanks Andy.</p>

          If I remember correctly, the registration guide was in the 1st book of the Hammond Touch course which came with the organ, as well as the first 20 songs.  The hope was to get you to buy the whole course.  I remember getting the whole she-bang back in the day when I bought an Aurora Classic new.  But I didn't play worth a hoot then, and the little town I lived in down in Missouri's ozarks didn't have a teacher.  Many moves later and the Classic is gone and much of my older music didn't survive well.</p>

          And you are right, the 'suggestions' were oft times pretty bad.  I use them to get started as many times I just don't have the feel for a piece and that gets me going.</p>

          thanks</p>
