And Zimbelstern and 6-channel! I've been watching for what I've been calling an ideal "Christmas" organ and this checks all the boxes. I will definitely be demo-ing this one.
I'm actually very surprised at what a difference multiple channels make. It doesn't have much of an effect in a small or very dry room, but once you get over a 2~2.5 sec reverb, it really starts to make a difference.
Our next set in the pipeline after IPLA will have 4-channels.... so, I think we're "converted" to doing it whenever it makes a difference.
Christopher Walken, “Wowee, wow, wow” Lawrence Welk, “Wunerful, wunerful“ So far I’m playing with the Skinner: setting pistons, exploring, listening to sounds. Beautiful! So incredibly beautiful. And still two smaller ones to go. Back to work now! Steve

I’m having much the same experience with the Skinner. It’s fantastic! I just registered the Sowerby Carillon, and it fits like a glove. And the other two organs are delightful as well!
