I'm a very testy version of myself.<br /><br />WalterGreenwood, thank you for responding--and in particular the introduction--and clearing up the matter. Right now I'll take you over my mother... :)<br /><br />I don't think I'll be able to get back to the organ until Sunday. I don't have access into the building and hitting an evening where the building's open is quite unreliable in the summer months. I will let you know what I find though.<br /><br />Now I'm wondering if last months organist had the same trouble. I don't remember hearing anything except for thinking that she had it really really quiet.Suki Lottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05391247015307463642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239662866018548881.post-28656441253867203992009-07-06T23:22:26.971-04:002009-07-06T23:22:26.971-04:00Bukes.

I'm the pokey puppy in our family and haven't ventured there yet.<br /><br />Val, BTW, is Suki's older sister. She has had experience on organs not working well because they were actually broken.

I was just trying to help. I didn't me...Ouch. I was just trying to help. I didn't mean to offend you, and I certainly didn't call anyone stupid. I am sorry if you took it that way. One of the respondents said "I hate playing an organ when something is broken or not sounding right." This, to me, sounds like blaming the organ when, in fact, the organ is behaving just fine. My first sentence was in response to that comment.<br /><br />Many organists who are used to large reverberant spaces like the reverb turned on and all the way up. However, some people find that effect unappealing, or even painful. I suspect that yours is set to the "Large Cathedral" setting, which emulates the acoustics of a huge stone space like St. Sulpice or Notre Dame. If I can help you figure out how to adjust it more to your liking, perhaps you will find yourself able to forgive me for my clumsy language.<br /><br />As for my credibility, let me introduce myself. I performed in the Salt Lake and Ogden Tabernacles and Pittsburgh's Carnegie Hall when I was 14 (pictures on my Facebook page), and was an engineer for the Allen Organ Company in the 1980s. I have been playing professionally on Allen Organs and pipe organs for most of the past 40 years. I am not familiar with any of Allen's current LDS organs, but if you can ascertain the model number of your instrument, I know people who can answer your questions.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06989211582505245150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239662866018548881.post-37213054650126585862009-07-06T17:20:15.253-04:002009-07-06T17:20:15.253-04:00If he is going to go on a stranger's blog, he ...If he is going to go on a stranger's blog, he should make sure his comments are consistent with what the blogger posted.<br /><br />In this case, he should not say anything about me blaming the organ, because I never did. Nor should he disregard my entire post which said I couldn't figure out which setting was the problem nor the part where it's obvious this wasn't the first time I touched an organ.<br /><br />There were plenty of other ways he could have stated his willingness to help me without insulting me.<br /><br />I really don't know how he could have missed my frustration at not finding the setting I was looking for since that is pretty much what my entire post was about.<br /><br />It's good advice and maybe if I read his comments 10 minutes later than I did, I wouldn't be so upset and bothered by his way of communication. But then again, he would have more credibility with me if he didn't start by blantently stating something that was never said.Suki Lottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05391247015307463642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239662866018548881.post-25736181848359201792009-07-06T15:32:29.506-04:002009-07-06T15:32:29.506-04:00Hey babes, don't jump all over Greenwood.

Sounds like it could be a good group to check in to. #1 rule. Don't take it personally. Read what's there. Take away what's helpful, and let the rest go.

There was no digival reverb button, no virtual acoustics button, no sound portrait button. Although I looked for all of the above plus more. Just about anything that would cause such such (like Valerie mentioned, a sound system type setting).<br /><br />4) Our church was just built and I'm pretty certain they put a new organ in.

On most Allen organs, you can easily turn the digital reverb off if you don't like it. Look for a switch labeled "Virtual Acoustics" or "Sound Portrait". By all means check into the Allen Organ owners group in Yahoo Groups. We are a friendly bunch.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06989211582505245150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239662866018548881.post-3757780079377261652009-07-05T21:22:32.071-04:002009-07-05T21:22:32.071-04:00Hmm.. it sounds like this organ has some sort of s...Hmm.. it sounds like this organ has some sort of sound setting that's hard to find.
