RE: What do you think of the sound of this organ?It certainly is a grand sound and not at all what one would think of when the name Wicks is mentioned. Interesting history of the instrument posted on that web site. The microphones do an excellent job of picking up the dynamic range of the organ. Henry ("Harry") Vincent Willis was employed by Welte when he first arrived in the US and when that firm collapsed he went to work for Midmer-Losh. He worked on the Atlantic City Convention Hall (now Boardwalk Hall) organ and was involved with some of the 100" wind pressure stops. When that work was completed he moved first to Kilgen and then to Wicks. |

I have some other recordings done with my old mics - they are nice, but pale in comparison to these. |

This one offered great clarity, powerful bass reproduction and a perfect impression of the building's depth on my speaker setup, rendered in both 2.0 and 7.1 stereo*. Not to mention that both the organ itself and the performance are a pure delight. This tuba is a winning competitor even for the full organ! The only thing I'm afraid of is that I finally *HAVE* to buy new computer hardware once the set is out to meet the RAM requirements (which I presume will be WAY beyond 16 GiB). ;-) Thanks for sharing the recording, Jonathan! --- 7.1 stereo = LEFT on FL,SL,BL; RIGHT on FR,SR,BR; LEFT+RIGHT merged to mono on C+LFE Well, Carsten, |
