For
those of us growing up in the fifties and sixties who developed a life
long love of the theatre organ, there is one name that stands out larger
than life influencing an entire generation of organists and organ enthusiasts
- George Wright! It has been the dream for many of us to be able to practice
and perform on an instrument for the home that sounded like the George
Wright recording organ. Only with the coming of Allen's Renaissance
technology has this been made possible. Allen Organ Company approached
George with the concept of digitally replicating his Hollywood Philharmonic
Organ, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Allen Organ went to George's
home located in the Hollywood Hills section of Los Angeles, California
to digitally sample his Hollywood Philharmonic Recording Organ. We painstakingly
recorded every rank in the organ with both tremulants off and tremulants
on to insure the absolute accuracy of not only individual ranks but the
essence of the theatre organ, accurate tremulants. The ranks of the GW319
and its "big brother" the GW4 (the four manual George Wright
Signature Series organ) are the result of those recordings and tremulant
samplings.
