Richard's Organ
Finally I get to tell you all about Richard's Organ
This has proved to be a subject of great popularity indeed - therefore I interviewed him regarding his Organ and he had the following to say:
"My Organ will be installed in 2 weeks. It is being built by Phoenix Organs (NI) Ltd. Which is run by Stephen Hamill.
The above picture was taken on a Sony Ericson K750i and emailed to me under the title of “Here is a picture of a toaster taken with a telephone” - toaster being the derogatory term given to electronic organs by “pipe-heads”.
I am unsure of the technical aspects at the moment as far as the electronics are concerned (no. of soundcards, output, channels etc) but can tell you that as a musical instrument it will have 4 manuals and pedals and about 80 stops. The equivalent in pipes would be the largest pipe organ in Ireland and would cost 100,000’s of pounds! As it is we think this will be the largest electronic Organ currently installed in Ireland!
The specification was drawn up by me. I am prepared to offer FredandFred the exclusive rights for the coverage of the opening recital………which will be sometime in September. "
Well thanks Richard - I'm sure we all wish you the very best with your Organ. For anyone who is a little unsure how to get their head round this article, and who perhaps wonders if their is some in-joke going around, NO!! Richard is actually having a custom electronic "church" organ built and installed in his house.
Fredandfred will keep you all posted and no doubt resort to posting some more information if I run out of puzzles to keep you all occupied....
Thanks Richard.... Thichard.
