Diki, you write a lot of words --- good, you take the boredom out of the day. (smile)

I lived in a time when the organ was desired by many – and when they were desired by few. I attended every organ festival in Orland, and a few Wersi concerts in Pennsylvania. Wersi was my favorite. I did my best to attend any organ demo in any store close to my area. I attended one demo/concert that had an organ duo, two Wersi organs, fantastic. They did not used organ sounds often. Big Band and the Pop at that time.

I fell in love when I first heard a muted trumpet play a solo with a small jazz band.

I tuned pianos for one of the largest Piano and Organ stores in S. Florida. I went to all of them, and some others.
Their demos were 90% organ sounds. There were many reasons for the decline in organ sales, I feel this was one of them.
When I asked why organs sounds were used mostly, I got an answer I was not expecting. We are interested in the gray-haired old ladies, they have the money, the young generation did not. This gets ugly, so I’ll stop.

PS, I had a Wersi organ that I could remove the top part and use it on a job. (nice)
