Geo. Kilgen and Sons Opus 7191 2/20 Pipe Organ

price reduced for 2011 -- see below

Built in 1922 to lead the congregation in worship, this is a warm and expressive electro-pneumatic service instrument that began with two manuals and sixteen ranks. This Geo. Kilgen and Sons, Opus 7191 organ is located in Coffeyville, Kansas at the First United Methodist Church. In 1988 an organ builder from Kentucky updated the instrument with a solid state relay, new stand alone console, a three rank mixture and an 8' pedal trumpet rank. All other parts of the organ are original. This is now a two manual, 20 rank instrument.

Both the great and the swell organs are under expression. The pedal organ is unenclosed and placed between the two chambers. The congregation is blessed with an endowment that helps to keep this beauty in excellent shape and well maintained by Dan Kimes once every quarter. (That's Dan sitting in the choir loft in the picture. He was taking a break from tuning.)

The replacement console installed in 1988 has draw knobs and sets to the left of the choir loft. The original console was built into the facade and utilized stop tabs. It is unknown whether a combination action was originally present. We have chosen to include five divisional presets and five general presets for a total of 20 pistons.

The organ has been recorded note for note and virtually assembled in the same fashion with the ODF. We have added the 25 note chime samples, just for fun. Studio processing included seamless looping of each pipe sample (note by note), and critical noise reduction to reduce the rumble created by the blower. Natural releases of each note were recorded and included for the best possible realism.

24 bit, 48K samples, pipes recorded in Mid/Side stereo, chimes recorded in mono. The sample files require 1.2 gig of memory. The samples are recorded dry, additional reverberation is recommended for proper presentation in smaller rooms.

The samples (1120) and the organ definition file (ODF) are delivered via download or DVD. This sample set is compatible with the advanced, basic and free versions of Hauptwerk. Requirements and Limitations

"The Kilgen OPUS 7191 Sample Set is very satisfying. While exploring the individual pipes and stops, the sound is amazing.

The speech and depth of the 16 ft Pedal Bourdon, the 16 ft Open Diapason, big deep and breathy. The Manual Diapasons possess that Rich Metallic Classic organ tone that as a small boy drew me the sound of the Pipe Organ, long time ago now.

I am still exploring the options available." Regards, R. Quinn, Tasmania

"I have received and installed the Kilgen. It's a nice piece of Americana; instruments like this were the backbone of many American churches. Playing this virtual organ takes me back to the summer many years ago that a friend and I drove around central Illinois stopping at churches and talking our way into playing organs. I really enjoy this organ. There is a very comfortable "sound" that I find quite appropriate for service playing in the traditional church." fourniture_vi

Sample set review by Dieter Thomsen of Orgelbits It includes - "s is absolutely no reason to rümpfen the nose because the Opus number 7191: the Kilgen organ is a serial product of industry, can compete well as a sample set of other, custom machined model organs."
