I have heard, over the years, many concerts by top organists in the UK on every make and model of electronic organ that has been on the market during that time. In my opinion Bohm produce the finest sounding instruments that have ever been made and if I ever win the Lottery one of them will be my first purchase (after the champagne).

All I would then want is to resurrect the late Mark Shakespeare to play it for me

In the Bohm brochures it specifies
"32 track arranger". This is in addition to "32 track sequencer". Has anyone heard a Bohm and do the styles make use of the possible 32 tracks ?

This great instruments have been around many, many years, at one time Wersi's counterpart in Germany, I became aware of both brands in early 80s, in the AOAI shows, aldo Bohm electronics was not present, someone gave me part of their literature and I inquire more info from them.

Mark Shakespeare is dead?

Hi Jeremy

Sadly I'm afraid yes he is. He died about 4 years ago at a very early age of a mystery illness. For me he was the greatest electronic organist I have ever heard and that includes Herr Wunderlicht.

I can't remember I've noticed the name or heard any records
of him, so I did a search and found this webpage: http://www.markshakespeare.co.uk/intro.html

Thought maybe it would be for any interest for some.

Hi to everybody.
We use no technology from other brands. We have our own technology. And we build custom organs. Do you know that the Wersi OAS needs up to 15 min. to bootup and reboot. I heared from a Wersi Dealer that the Organs have a lot of problems with the CPU (Overheating). I was working over 25 years at Wersi in Germany and i know very well any Wersi instrument. I choose Böhm, because they are more reliable and sounding better and the cabinets are handcrafted. Personal comment: Technics was not bad, but they got
passed because their old PCM technology. And at least. We at Bohm don't use Yamaha sound boards in our organs like Wersi.

The Drawbar organ MD 42 is a very good seller, because a lot of gigging musicians and churches like this leight weighted organ.

Another personal comment about Bohm is too expensive: You can not have a Mercedes if you can only afford a Volkswagen.

Just wondering about if Böhm is a brand any of you've heard of?
Pretty new for me, and I've never seen any post about it here at SZ as far as I remember.

Found it at: www.bohmusa.com

8 different Böhm Silverbird versions are availiable:

Silverbird 5 (5 octave)
Silverbird 7 (76 notes)
Silverbird 7p (76 notes with hammer feeling)
Silverbird 8p (88 notes with hammer feeling)
Silverbird 25 (2 x 5 octaves)
Silverbird 27 (2 x 7 octaves)
Silverbird ‘rack’ (organ expander)
Silverbird ‘accord’ (with different accordion keyboards)




A kind of "Wersi" maybe?

Sorry for the messy title of this topic,
should have been ..."any of you've heard about"

I'm a little confused by this last post.

Gunnar is this you or is this a response from the vendor: Bohm Organs?

If it is Bohm Organs, then a big welcome to you from our little keyboard heaven on the net.

I have taken the time to investigate Bohm Organs and I must say they sound very impressive with an impressive list of features.

To be honest, I own a Wersi Alpha DX350 which I bought about 12 years ago. That was a BIG mistake. I would never buy Wersi again. But at the same time, I am also very shy of vendors who do not have a major presence in the USA. Products like Open Labs Necko and Liontracs scare the heck out of me as far as pricing, support, and support infrastructure like public forums, Bulletin Boards, and 3rd party support for styles and sounds.

I very much would like to audition your products. Where in the USA can one do this?

Thanks
Al

Also, the Silverbird Rack unit looks very interesting.

How much does this sell for in the US?
