Any organ players around?
Tom:
LOL Carson, I'll bring the earplugs. Wearing them will be optional.

Well I'll be darned. After all these years, I find that out today. If I'd known, we coulda got the karaoke machine out while you were here!

Hi Tom
Well an older thread to be sure but I guess I'll post up that by training my main instrument is (pipe) organ. It's a demanding instrument to play well. There's no real substitute for daily practice and instruction from someone who has achieved mastery. The hand technique differs from piano in a number of important ways, and there is the matter of the pedalboard.

Considering how long ago this thread was initiated, I would presume that there aren't a lot of RVers on this forum that have much interest in the organ world. :-\
I am probably one of the few weirdos on this Forum, who is so totally engaged in the organ world.
My home organ, is a III/44 (three-manual, 44 stop) Phoenix Organ:

There really isn't another digital organ manufacturer in the entire world that can come even close to emmulating the awesome digital instruments built by Phoenix!! :)
I seem to recall, long, long ago: an RVer who had a (Conn?) theatre organ installed in his motorhome. And in moments of weakness, I tend to dream about that kind of nonsense. But until then, my travelling instrument is an aged PSR 2000 Yamaha arranger keyboard.
Tom:
Thanks for the link Stan. The phoenix sure is a nice instrument. I sure wish I'd learned to play. My first exposure to the wonderful organ sound was at Sunday services (used to attend three times each Sunday). Attached is a scan of a photo my Dad took of me sitting alongside the organist. Those pipes sure put out a nice sound.
