Hi!


Regretfully a member especially keen on cinema organs threw the baby out with the bathwater in deleting his membership of the forum for his own reasons and deleting all his hard work in postings.


This was regrettable as whilst he felt that the forum did not pay enough attention to cinema organs, it is intended to be comprehensive and inclusive of all aspects of the instrument and provide a corpus of resources.


Resources gleaned from Google cache of his postings include:


http://www.tccoc.moonfruit.com/ The Cannock Chase Organ Club


Hauptwerk: Hauptwerk may not be so difficult as you may think. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJ4es3HOdzQ  this video surprised me with how easy it is to add midi to a console.


The quality of the Roland Atelier organs has always taken me by surprise, especially the sound quality. I thought I`d share this with the group.

Another place to visit if you like fair organs is the Thursford Collection http://www.thursford.com/thursford-collection-main.aspx
Its not too difficult to make a fair organ of your own either. Its tempting.

Organ tuition / Re: Member seeking organ tuition in the Wolverhampton area[size=0.85em]« on: June 01, 2011, 04:39:58 PM »[/size]http://tccoc.moonfruit.com/#/contact-links/4549895065 Try contacting Steve Tovey who should be able to help out in some way.


There was a particularly interesting post with a YouTube link to a cinema organ at Blackpool with the mics placed in or near the pipe chambers with the remark that the tremulant sounded slow: Luckily one of the links was quoted in the post in reply on:

http://www.organmatters.com/index.php/topic,758.msg3806.html

It is hoped that this member does rejoin the forum in due course, but with a tolerance for the existence of more "conventional" types of organ which he appeared to want to exclude in promotion of Wurlitzer supremacy.



However, seeing that the member deleted some posts entirely and edited others to "blank", leaving the work of others in responses as wasted orphaned posts, his action was not one of kindness nor respect to others. We are told that the member was entroubled on another organ forum and we hope that he may find guidance towards a more positive outlook in which his talents and enthusiasms may flourish.

Best wishes,
