THE DIAPASON The pursuit of excellence knows no schedule

When you're ready to practice, there is simply no substitute for the comfort, convenience, and privacy of your own home. Nor is there a substitute for the Allen System 120 as the instrument of choice. Why? Because the 120 offers you everything you'd look for in a home practice instrument and more (including a very affordable price). First, you have two 61 note manuals and a 32 note concave radiating pedal board, both AGO. Then there are 36 totally independent stops, including a complete reed chorus, at 16', 8', 4', and mixtures. Plus Allen's unmatched computer tone generation means pipe sounds with no missing notes. The 120 can also be equipped with Allen's new "Total Ambient Sound," for the feeling you're playing in an enhanced acoustic environment. And when it comes to tone quality, an Allen Organ will speak for itself.
