    Ah yes - The Wonderful Wanamaker, also a member of my top three fave instruments.

    I don't have a top favourite list, I love which ever organ I'm listening to at the time, to be honest. I love 'em all, from the big monsters like Wanamaker or Sydney Town Hall to the tiny one manual 8 stops (1 on pedal) in Manly (Brisbane)

    That's the first time I've seen and heard the Wanamaker in action and that crescendo on the final note was incredible! Some pretty canny voicing going on there.

    My dear friend soubasse, I heartily recommend you purchase Mr Conte's CDs "Wanamaker" Wanamaker Fire" and "Midnight at Wanamaker" ... they really test out my 5.1 surround system magnificently!
