hi don! I have played one of these. That a mighty fortress gives me chills, especially when you use the 32 foot posaune. I am a member of the church and played one of these. It is a nice organ in many cases, like for sacrament meeting and stuff. This organ is great. Thanks!
Thank uou for this tutorial. My situation: despite reaching out to my bishopric and FM group about making sure an organist/musician is present to ensure the organ setup is done well with the correct voicing of the instrument for our chapel, I came to church this morning with a new organ and had to scramble to get it going. (It's been two years since I learned about this model.) I noticed the volume was not all that loud. The bass coupler is not that responsive. The delay/reverb is a little much. I don't think there is much I can do about the situation. I explained my frustration to a bishopric member and they didn't seem to care that much, kind of like, oh, well. I will try to make the most of it. It is nice to have more stop options and the bass sounding less blaring and overpowering (unbalanced) in the voicing with the great manual. The installer also piggybacked the organ power strip with another power strip, which is an electrical fire hazard. They also left a foot pod cover and bolt next to the organ. The bench squeaks when getting on and off it.
Thank you for the quick start video. I am a member of lds in south korea. We have allen ld 43 b. I want serve as a organist on sunday. Ur video would be big help to me .
I am confused as to how to bypass the presets besides creating your own. For example, when I am playing a prelude selection, and I want to add a stop or delete a stop, how do I do that when everything is preset? I think I am missing something here.
Once the preset is recalled from the piston, you can manually edit the stops using the switches on the top of the organ. You won't override the existing combination in memory unless you save it, and if you want to undo your edit and return to the preset, just hit the desired piston again.
We have an LD-34 organ which is very similar to the LD-34b. There are few things here that I would like to comment on. I appreciate this video, but these are important comments. 1. Dr. Cook doesn't seem to use the suggested piston settings in Memories 15 and 16 when he plays. I wish he would share his settings. They are very pleasant to hear and I would love to know his settings. 2. The suggestion of depressing the Swell and Great to full capacity and leaving the Crescendo Pedal completely off does not work at all as Dr. Cook suggests on our organ. The Swell and Great are far too loud for our meetings, even on General Piston 1 on prelude selections. I'm not sure why that is so, but perhaps Dr. Cook's suggestion works on his organ and not others. 3. I do not use Memories 15 and 16 for anything other than as a starting point from which I can SAVE to another Piston setting in my personal Memories and modify. It's hard for me to believe that the Church and Allen Organ Company collaborated on the suggested 15 and 16 Memories. 4. I loved the final hymn Dr. Cook plays. I wish he would share his stop settings. I wish there were an audio of what Memories 15 and 16 should sound like and I could get a repair technician to hear the comparison and figure out if our organ is just not correct. I've had the technician out several times and am not happy with how our organ sounds. Some pedals on some stops are a half step out of tune, especially our 32' stops on lower notes. Thanks Dr. Cook for your lesson here. I appreciate it and gained much. I love our organ and everyone loves the way I play it, which is far different than demonstrated here. I've been playing for 55 years and Allen organs are my favorites.
Memories 15 and 16 are preset but not locked and it is not only possible but common for people to save their own combinations on top of them. When I was a stake organist I would regularly check them and correct the settings to factory every so often. The spec sheet, which may be in the bench but is definitely available for download, will give you the factory registration. I quite like these organ models, very versatile for a two manual instrument.
Why not? Were you born knowing how to play? I'm a pianist and can play the organ fine, but I hope to learn how all the bells and whistles work to make things sound nicer.
All Organs are different. This video is a great tool for organist that mat be going from an older model Allen or even a Rodgers. Your comments is "HIGHLY" uncalled for .
what a great organ

Wow. This video with detail explain about how to use it is very helpful 😊.thank you for good video.
i'm glad this organ has a 32 foot stop

19:32 is fire
It certainly has more ranks than the AP-16 I play in my ward.
I love the pipe like sounds!
No not even close
@@TheJakeman789 it would sound much better with really good acoustics. The room is much more important than the actual organ
Some of the LDS church buildings have these organs.
Yes and i've played one of these
Yes this is the current Allen Organ The Church Buys.

How much wind pressure does that 32' contra bourdon have?
Good question this is an electronic organ .

Can this model be found at chapels of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints?
Yes thus is the Current Allen Model the Church Buys.
12:11 IS NICE TO
why cant i hear the 32' boyrdo
32' bourdons are often soft, and they are an extremely low sound that is difficult to record and difficult for most speakers to produce.
i can't hear the 32 foot contra bourdon 😥😥😞

About how much did this organ cost
These instruments are quite pricey!
around $34,000
How does it sound in person?

That fact that you made this video is scary, if someone has to watch this video, then they don’t need to be playing the organ.
Why not? Were you born knowing how to play? I'm a pianist and can play the organ fine, but I hope to learn how all the bells and whistles work to make things sound nicer.

@@thebhnAmen Knock it to em .
Unimpressive sound - rather muffled - not good.
it probably had the swell pedal closed
@@Charles-Reardon It is just crappy technology from Allen Computer Organ Inc.; Hauptwerk (Milan Audio) using Sonus Paradisi samples is vastly better,
UA-cam low-res videos of organs are bad at best, no matter what the brand, or it is a pipe. Organs are meant to be heard "in person". :)
