If you mean the Thomas, there is still a strong Theatre/Cenema Organ presence in the UK and Germany, however the instruments currently available from other manufacturers cost much more and not ideally suited to home use. I was talking to the guys at Thomas over the last couple of days. They do not believe the market will sustain an instrument like this for much longer and have very, very interesting plans for the future that are more compatible with today's generation from a technology and budget point of view. However, for now we still have customers who are good musicians and still want a 25 note pedalboard with a big organ sound to play the music they enjoy. This organ is not designed to extract savings from pensioners who cannot play. To sell someone like that an instrument of this price (or 5 or 6 times more) would be immoral....they would be better with a Tyros.
