I'm using individully amped 2 x B139, B110, SEAS H881 in totally-enclosed cabinets as monitors for pipe organ recordings. They weigh 50Kg each (including the amplifiers) and are of 'sandwich' construction of 9mm plywood, roofing felt and 19 SWG galvanised steel plate. We arranged an impromptu test which fooled the organ tuner into thinking he was actually hearing the organ. -- ~ Adrian Tuddenham ~ (Remove the ".invalid"s and add ".co.uk" to reply) www.poppyrecords.co.uk

Is this just church organ recordings, or theatre organs as well ? We had a beautiful three manual Wurlitzer in town for many years until the venue where it was housed, closed down. It had one of the best sounds I have ever heard, and the resident organist played it like it was an extension of himself. Shades of Dixon and Torch. I had a couple of CDs that were sold to visitors to the venue, but all I have left now, is the case to one of them. They were proper commercial discs, but I have been completely unable to trace them anywhere since. Sadly, as the venue is now gone, there's no chance of ever replacing them, I fear. Don't suppose you've ever come across Sovereign Music, have you ? I wonder who bought that instrument when the place closed, and where it is now ? Arfa |
