Additional Information :
The Pump Organ. A small organ where air is pumped using your feet. Common in small chapels and schools 40-50 years ago. A small, simple organ with tons of charm! Nothing you would play the Toccata on, but try some Tom Waits songs! Recorded in Stereo using a pair of AKG 414. Available in Gigastudio 3 24 bit, Gigastudio 2.5 16 bit (works in all samplers that reads Giga format) and a 24 bit combined HALion/Kontakt version. The instrument was sampled in thirds, (C, D#, F# and A) in each octave. All samples stereo.
I grew up in a piano/organ/antique instruments shop, had played with a few pump organs. My father worked on a pipe organ that was tuned by being inside the pipe and either shaving off wood (tuning down) or placing thin wooden shims (tuning up). Just recalled that my (great) great-grandmother had one of these in her home.
Thanks, guru!
