FBR 3M

Are these samples dry or with reverb?

The FBR organ is in a fairly dry acoustic, and the recording was done from
the top of the chancel steps about 20-30 feet away from the pipes (just far enough away to get a blend from the pipes). One can still discern stereo separation (especially the facade pipes and the difference between Swell (left chamber) and Great/Pedal (right Chamber)

The Choir stops and extra stops for the 3m version come from other sources and have been recorded/edited to match the acoustic. The stereo field has been narrowed and panned toward center on the Choir stops to give the impression of coming from the center of the chancel.

The voices also speak very promptly, which in combination with very little reverb make this organ suitable for fast playing and short notes.

Hope this is helpful!

That is fantastic - just what I'm after.

I'm interested in the fact that the Swell is in a separate chamber to the left and the Great/Pedal is off to the right - I take it this can make for interesting effects!

The Coventry cathedral organ is split into two chambers and on the recordings I have of it this makes the sound seem larger and more defined.

Worcester cathedral is similar.
