Hi Tom!! Got to play a 4/18 Wurlitzer today at the Byrd theater in Richmond, VA. I went back to your videos beforehand to get the most out of the visit. I was invited to go back and play pre-shows now and then!
A great set of tips for all musicians. I have played over 100 organs around the world both Theatre Organs and Classical church/cathedral Organs and yes they are all different... you should see all the registration changes I have on my most popular music for each different organ. Our latest video uploaded today includes a Baroque improvisation on my home organ
Very good video I remember my first theater organ I played except you played a 2/10 and I played a 4/32 what a great time. But good tips I could have used them.
There is a 4 manual Wurlitzer in Berlin, although access may be limited, and I believe there is a Welte in Germany, but I am not sure where it is located
Edward Copeland Yes, I know the organ in the museum in Berlin. Access is very limited unfortunately, and Berlin takes about 5-7h to drive from Innsbruck, Austria. ^^

That’s great, Charles - well done!
Enjoy the amazing sounds of a Wurlitzer :)

Thanks so much for the great feedback! Tom
I would love to play a Cinema organ, but in the german speaking areas you unfortunately find none of these...
A shame...hope you get to play one someday soon! Tom
