W. and George L. Rapp. Although the Rapp brothers' approach to theatre design was not usually the "Atmospheric" style, this beautiful house of 3600 seats is a prime example of the plain ceiling with twinkling stars concept. The auditorium and lobby exemplify the Spanish touch to perfection. The organ selected was a Wur­ litzer "Publix # 1" of 4 manuals and 20 ranks.

  • Allen Organ Technology
    Perfection Sound | Technology | Sustainability An Allen Organ offers perfection throughout. This begins with the finest pipe organ sounds and masterful build quality, and flows into all aspects of the instrument. The Art of Organ Building – “To my eyes and ears the organ will ever be the King of Instruments.” Majestic Sound – Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Allen Organs Sound Better Superior organ sound comes from a combination of advanced technology and years of artistic experience sampling pipe organs. Throughout history the organ has been a remarkable combination of technology and traditional music. With hundreds of pipes, early pipe organs were the most advanced products in a community. Modern electronics have enabled the production of pipe organ sound without requiring pipes. Today’s finest digital instruments reproduce the grandeur of pipe organs, at significantly lower costs. Allen’s 7th-generation GeniSys™ technology includes dozens of advanced Digital Signal Processors working in parallel, supercomputer power, offering the most realistic pipe organ sound available from a digital organ. Coupled with a two-decade lead in digital sampling experience over other digital organ builders, Allen Organ Company is the acknowledged leader. Pipe Organ Sound Reproducing realistic pipe organ sound requires advanced technology. Allen’s technology is proven weekly through its many combination organs that include both digital voices and windblown pipes played in the same building. Proof statement: Listeners have difficulty determining the source of the sounds. A recent Allen combination organ installation in Stockholm, Sweden, is an example comparing, in real-time, Allen’s digitally produced voices alongside of windblown pipes.

No apology is needed, I hope, for issuing in this form the substance of the series of articles which I contributed to the Bible Educator. Some of the statements which I brought forward in that work have received further confirmation by wider reading; but some others I have ventured to qualify or alter. Much new matter will be found here which I trust may be of interest to the general reader, if not of use to the professional. I fully anticipate a criticism to the effect that such a subject as the development of musical instruments should rather have been allowed to stand alone than have been associated with Bible music.

  • Trinity's Organ
    Trinity’s Organ The organ at Trinity was dedicated on October 23, 1994. In many ways it can be thought of as a reflection of our own congregation. There are 2,395 pipes in the organ. Trinity congregation, in 1994 was very close to that number in membership and has since then far surpassed it. The pipes in the organ actually form a “congregation of singers” made up of many different shapes and sizes. Some are short, some are tall. Some sing high, some sing low. Some are loud, some are soft. Each person in our sanctuary can combine his or her voice with others to offer up prayers and songs of praise. Each pipe in the organ “building” works along side of others to produce sounds for accompanying our songs of praise. We each have a mouth to sing God’s praise. Each pipe in the organ also has a mouth. The straight edge at the top of a pipe’s mouth is called the upper lip. The bottom edge is the lower lip. Pipes have “feet”, “bodies”, “ears”, and “tongues.” The pipes “sing” in much the same way as humans. Sound is produced when air causes something to vibrate. The sound then comes out through a mouth for all to hear. The pipes receive their breath for singing from a windchest. The sound produced by the pipes is thus a sound that is vibrant – “alive”! The organ at Trinity is an instrument allowed by God to be built for worship – an instrument whose breath will combine with ours to set in motion pipes for praise.

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.
