Super handy.

[@andrewdaniels3063]

And pedal to boot!

[@bonniescali2478]

Excellent arrangement, but I miss the whole orchestra and the choir.

[@mikiorologi]

It's a half pipe execution and organ

[@nahbah5129]

is this an electric organ?

[@Duhme1]

+Sam smith no. The organ in the tabernacle is Aeolian Skinner. You are thinking of the conference center organ.

[@MelosAntropon]

Quite correct.

[@Tmanaz480]

Logan Koller ... No, the Conference Center organ, while smaller than the Tabernacle organ is most assuredly not electronic. It's real and it's spectacular. Sorry--Seinfeld reference. :-)

[@chucklambooy8457]

The conference center organ is PIPE organ!!

[@2008truckman]

Conference Center is a mixed pipe and speaker.

[@ddjambov]

sooo much better than that crazy baptist organist's solos

[@c824767]

might be a bit faster than Beethoven intended ?????????????????????????????

[@executivesecretary1648]

Read the title: 'Improvisation on "Hymn to Joy" (Organ solo)'
In this case "Improvisaton" means, different than what was originally intended. That the whole point.
