What a really nice sounding organ! At the end when she's playing it more "full", I bet that it really rumbles and fills the room up. 🙂

I've never actually gotten to see one before! Thanks for posting.

it could stand some re-voicing. in such a small room an organ this size could do wonders but it is a bit shrill. Casavant has a reputation for building excellent pipe organs and this one is no exception. You can do a lot with 25 ranks or so. Good luck!

Why do so many of these American style organs have chromatic wind chest layouts? One hopes the lady at the end was playing before the tuning took place!

sounds loud and coarse, trying to make too few pipes fill the room 😕
