Phoenix Organs, anyone?
  • How many forum members play Phoenix organs? Second to M&O, they're the closest to pipes I've ever heard.
  • ...the closest to pipes....

    (Emphasis added.)
    That says it all!

    For whatever reason, I had never heard of them. I went to their site and listened. Not the same as actually hearing an instrument in person. Even if you can reproduce a pipe organ sound, you are still dependent on speaker technology. Isn't that a limitation? I would think so. If those "organs" are "hand-built" and not mass produced, as their site indicates, I wonder if you are getting into a price range competitive with the Organ Clearing House.
