A Continuum of Keys: From Sacred to Eccentric

Pipe organs, reed organs and electric classics – captured in a single, inspiring collection.

The Sacred & Mighty

• Alpha Organ: Recorded in San Francisco's historic St. Paul's Church, this unique dual-organ setup combines the silky warmth of the Kilgen "Alpha" organ with the monumental power of the Shoenstein "Omega" organ, creating a breathtaking blend of intimacy and grandeur.

• Lakeside Pipe Organ: A remarkable hybrid instrument featuring 850 wooden and steel pipes. Smoothly blend between delicate reed tones and powerful pipe voices using an intuitive stop mixer.

• Orrville Pipe Organ: Built by the Schantz Organ Company in 1963, this pneumatic powerhouse features 1,224 pipes and delivers a rich, expansive sound capable of filling the entire stereo field.

Vintage Character & Living History

• Trinity Electric Pipe Organ: An exceptionally warm electro-acoustic organ recorded in Ohio's Trinity Lutheran Church. Combining pristine room acoustics with dedicated speaker captures, it delivers both traditional depth and modern punch.

• Sandy Creek Organ: A beautifully aged Thomas Monticello organ captured with a rotating Leslie speaker. Full of character, imperfections and vintage charm, it preserves the soul of a true musical relic.

Intimate Reeds & Eccentric Voices
