Finally got my 4 rank pipe organ for my home last week, It's all put together, there are problems with the pedal board, notes play going down instead of up. The Diapason stop plays the wrong notes up the scale, strings and flutes are fine, getting in an organ repair man to maybe rewire console, and check it out. But it will be a fun project to fix up and play, hopefully not too expensive to repair a 50 year old organ. I will try to post the organ setup pictures I took when they delivered it.
sounds great..look forward to seeing as well as maybe hearing it played too..

Thanks Bill!
Got most of the kinks out of my Pipe Organ in my home. Spent $ 1000 in repair. Needs to be revoiced will cost another $ 3000 and its done. The organ cost a total of $ 12,000 purchase , installation, fix dead notes, and voiced, and I love playing my Pipe organ every single day !!!..... Herb
That's great to hear about, Herb. Glad everything is working now and you are enjoying time playing this instrument.
I think it's every organist's dream to have a pipe organ in their home - I've always wanted that, but there isn't enough room, so I'm happy with my piano, instead, and my wife, and my furniture, our cats ... etc ...

Sounds Great Herb. A good buy for sure.. and you could have spent more than that on a good electronic instrument and no real pipe sounds. Like Lars due to space and funds for me a virtual one for me.

I could understand that ! we all need more room for everything !
Right ! An electronic organ IS more expensive, when it's new as well as a NEW pipe organ. But my church organ that I play in church cost $ 54,000 (electronic Allen Organ) sounds good, but when you add all the voices together, it sounds muffled, no destinction, terrible blend. electrionic layering is not good. I bought my home organ at a fraction, used, has a wonderful blend of sound ! I love it!
