What is your favorite Hauptwerk Sample set?

Hi all!

I can explain the "E1 - sounds C1, F1 - sounds F1, F#1 - sounds D1, G1 - sounds G1, G#1 - sounds E1"

You have described the short octave ("oitava curta"). It was used on some ancient potuguese, spanish and italian organs.

As there was no music with C#1 and D#, the organ builders didn´t make those pipes. It was less expensive and organ players could make 10ths. It's a very interesting aspect on some of these organs.

It becomes very funny when you play a C scale or the c arpeggio.

When I was looking for a large baroque instrument, I listened to quite a few demos on the various websites proposing the shorlisted competitors.

I eventually selected the Hinsz from Kampen's Bovenkerk, as I really fancy the Dutch sound. I finally managed to buy the 3 volumes - quite a hefty price in the end - but I do not regret it. This instrument is fantastic, especially as I also appreciate wet instruments.

I'm so happy with it I am not currently considering trying another one...
