<HTML>John,
Went to Scotty's Castle to record the 3/15 Welte organ, with Tom Hazleton at the the console.
Nice sound; but the world's absolutely stupidest stop list I ever saw on what is proported to be a theater organ. Two tremulants, Main and Solo, when it needs five, not one coupler, no 16' reeds on the Great, and no 16' reed at all in the Pedal, nor a 16' string, only a Tibia, Bourdon and Wood Diaphone.
A rebuild and re-spec for the console, and a new UniFlex relay with remote capture combination, 16' Tuba and 16' string in the Pedal and more separate tremulants would turn it into a very nice residence theater organ.
Still, Tom certainly got the best out of it. Recording was for a CD that they want to sell in the gift shop.
