I wander what playing the organ would be liked if they still made reed organs. It's a pitty they went obselete after the electric osilater and hammond organs took over. I love the sweet sould they make and no electric instrument I've played has a decent reed organ effect. In my perfect world I'd have a new reed organ with this registration,
Range; F1 - F6
Bass:
Bass Coupler, Diapason 8, (Cor Anglais 8), Principal 4, (Viola 4), Piccolo 2, Aoline (Celeste) 2 and a Subbass 16.
Effect:
Forte, (Opens the back swell with the 8' Diapasons and Clarinet next to the latter mentioned), Vox Humana
Treble from ten A,
Clarinet 16, (Krumhorn 8), Voix Celeste 8, Piccolo 2, (Gemshorn 4), Principal 4, (Oboe 8), Diapason 8, and a Treble coupler.
All stops in brackets borrow from the stop to the left in the bass and to the right in the treble.
The 8' Diapasons, and the Clarinet 16 would be in the rear swell and the rest would be in the front. The Swell leaver would open both the front and the back swells and the grand organ leaver would add the 8 (Inc celeste), 4, 2 (excluding the celeste) stops and the subbass.
What do you think would happen if reed organs were still made?
