1925 Wangerin
Wangerin built organs similar in style and sound to E.M SKinner, Kimball and other builders of that era. They are colorful and warm, well-suited for orchestral and romantic music. In 1925, the Wangerin company built 3 organs for the Madison Masonic Temple (now referred to as the Madison Masonic Center) The main organ in the Auditorium is a 3-manual and Pedal with 5 divisions and about 40 ranks, the 2 Lodge organs are identical in stoplist with 2 manuals and pedal, 13 ranks. All 3 organs are in mostly original condition, but in varying states of disrepair. The Auditorium organ is about 70-80 percent functional, Lodge 2 organ is about 50 percent and Lodge 1 (while intact) is not playable at this time. Because of that, we have used stops from the Auditorium organ to recreate the Lodge organ. We have also provided an extended version of the Auditorium organ, which adds a number of stops to give a bit more flexibility. All of these additions were done carefully, in the spirit of what was done on larger Wangerin organs of that time. Do note that a portion of each sample set sale will go toward the organ restoration fund.
Before I started the recording process, I sat down and did a quick off-the-cuff improv to show what the organ sounds like in its current state:

1925 Wangerin (Wet)
To be released Winter 2013FBR 3m Schantz HW 3+
Christmas and end-of-product life sale!
This instrument, made up of samples taken from a 1966 Schantz and some other sources was sampled mostly in 2004. The acoustics are rather dry (.5 ~ 1 sec.) and so there are no multiple releases for the HW3 version. The stops are spread out over 3 manuals and pedal, and the set responds well to addition of reverb. This sample set runs well on lower-powered computers due to shorter reverb times, single loops and shorter samples. We will be discontinuing this product after the 2012 holiday season - get it now while you can!
