This topic has been moved to Electronic Organs.

It's good to know that this instrument is inspiring . . . and hopefully as a concert instrument it will be inspiring to the building of new pipe organs too . . . Electronic organs _should_ aspire to be inspiring, but by the very nature of electronics, we can't expect them to last longer than television sets or laptops, which is why they can be a valid research tool towards pipe organ building without necessarily being an end in themselves. For this reason I'm moving this topic to the Electronic section. http://www.organmatters.co.uk/index.php?topic=34.0

However, it should be noted that the instrument's success is on account of David Pinnegar's expertise, additions and work independant of the original manufacture. The instrument includes technology of four manufacturers, specific artifice in signal processing and unusual sound reproducers and is therefore no longer a "normal" electronic organ.
