What a wonderful demonstration! I have the luxury of having access to a Letourneau in my home town as well. I'd love to come visit the US and play this organ in recital!

@@James_Bowie That’s the one. We have also reinstalled the Voix Humaine as well as the Hautbois.
The first Church I grew up in had a French Symphonic-insipred Letourneau organ that was well voiced and great at accompanying the liturgy. I enjoyed watching this demonstration of this rather impressive and versatile Letourneau organ.
Beautiful sounding organ and Steve did a great job of demonstrating the instrument ❤
This is what a church organ should like, Bright, Reverbant, Clear, Expression, Beautiful, Strong Reeds
Thank you to all involved in this episode! Beautiful pipe organ! The visual impact of this organ is stunning. The dark wood and the bright pipes in contrast, along with the layout of the facade pipes make it such a beautiful instrument to look at. It sounded quite nice as well 😁. Thank you for the work everyone put into this and every other episode!
Saweeeet. She can growl with the best of them. Excellent instrument.
Lovely sound. Amazing to see how they were able to fit that many divisions in such a small space.
Impressive instrument, the swell reed coupler is wild
We have a Letourneau in my home church here in Florida. It has an antiphonal organ in the loft. Beautiful organ!
Impressive instrument!!
I like the bigger tone of this organ. So many organs I hear of this size lack grand tone but this one works well without being overbearing!
Maybe someday you can do a video on my friend tim pattersons organ in our lady of lourdes church in Minneapolis. He just finished the install this summer.
Challenging and somewhat odd spec Id give up the toy box precussions for a good Swell Diapason 8 and some independent 4' flutes

Totally.
Is there a reason why Letourneau and Casavant swell motors look almost identical? 42:12
Massive organ for a tiny church!

Just one of my negative thoughts.
I very much enjoy your presentations, and sharing a variety of wonderful instruments from all around, but I have a comment to make about the balance between your commentary, while sitting at the console and the volume of the organ, I am an audio producer and listen very carefully for Balance . Is Carmen’s not about the balance and quality of the sound of the instrument but I have to suggest that the commentary from the organ consul as you talk about the instrument is much too loud in comparison to the boy with the Oregon, so I’m constantly having to raise the volume when the Organ is playing and being sampled, then I have to turn it down because the voice over is way too loud, so if you could you mind going forward, thinking about how many instruments somewhere on the same level as the volume of the comments from the organ console. Continue to be the best at what you do, but I thought maybe you might want to know from the audience perspective, the imbalance of voice over versus the balance of having to hear the answer because I hate to have to keep turning the volume on I Remote louder and softer to accommodate. Thanks.
