Copyright © 2016 Allen Organ Company All Rights Reserved AOC P/N 033-00221-1 Revised 10/2016 ALLEN ORGAN COMPANY For more than sixty years--practically the entire history of electronic organs-- Allen Organ Company has built the finest organs that technology would allow. In 1939, Allen built and marketed the world’s first electronic oscillator organ. The tone generators for this instrument used two hundred forty-four vacuum tubes, contained about five thousand components, and weighed nearly three hundred pounds. Even with all this equipment, the specification included relatively few stops. By 1959, Allen had replaced vacuum tubes in oscillator organs with transistors. Thousands of transistorized instruments were built, including some of the largest, most sophisticated oscillator organs ever designed. Only a radical technological breakthrough could improve upon the performance of Allen’s oscillator organs. Such a breakthrough came in conjunction with the United States Space Program in the form of highly advanced digital microcircuits. In 1971, Allen produced and sold the world’s first musical instrument utilizing digitally sampled voices! Your organ is significantly advanced since the first generation Allen digital instrument.

  • History of the 1917 Casavant Organ (Opus 700) Ian Wakeley
    History of the 1917 Casavant organ (Opus 700) Ian Wakeley Emmanuel Church, 15 Newbury St, Boston MA The Casavant organ now in the Gulangyu Organ Museum was originally built for the Emmanuel Church, Boston in the USA. The cornerstone of the Emmanuel Church was laid in 1861, however, the building was expanded in 1864 by the addition of a west transept and largely remodelled between 1898 and 1899, when the church acquired the main elements of its present form: a large stone building with neogothic architectural features. In 1913, Mr Lynnwood Farnam was appointed organist of the Emmanuel Church, a post that he held until 1918. Mr Farnam was a very accomplished musician, and it is he, who was largely responsible for having the Emmanuel Church’s organ remodelled and enlarged in 1917, which resulted in the instrument that eventually found its way to Gulangyu The Hutchings-Casavant Organ When the Emmanuel Church organ was bought for the Gulangyu Museum, it consisted of two main parts: the first had been in the chancel of the church, and the second placed on a gallery at the back of the building. A small third section was placed in the Church’s Chapel. The Chancel organ was originally built in 1890 by G.S. Hutchings as a separate instrument (Opus 216). However, in 1899, Hutchings rebuilt the organ with electric action, a moveable console and the addition of pedal reeds, which resulted in 52 stops on 3 manuals and pedals (Opus 444). It was housed in an organ chamber adjacent to the choir and thus only required a limited case, consisting mainly of display pipes behind the choir pews, with a small additional façade in the Church’s south aisle, pipes that still grace the façade of the Chancel Organ in Gulangyu today.
