1972 Allen Digital Computer Organ complete Lutheran liturgy

Here I play all the liturgical music from the Evangelical Lutheran Worship setting 2 at Midland Lutheran Church, Midland, TX. We do all of this music every Sunday (certain pieces are done just during certain seasons such as Lent however.) This is the current amp setup using 2, 20 watt PA amps. I am going to upgrade the amp system on this organ with a new preamp and 2, 2-channel 100 watt per channel amps and install 2 additional Allen speaker cabinets for 400 total watts of power (10 times what it is now). This should cut back on distortion and increase bass.
The pieces are:
1. Kyrie (In peace, let us pray to the Lord...Lord, have mercy)
2. Gloria (Glory to God in the Highest)
3. This is the feast of victory for our Lord (used during festival seasons such as Christmas)
4. Gospel acclamation (Alleluia)
5. Gospel acclamation for Lent (Let your steadfast love come to us , O Lord)
6. The Lord be with you (and also with you)
7. Sanctus (Holy, Holy, Holy Lord)
8. Agnus Dei (Lamb of God)
9. Nunc Dimittis (now Lord, you let your servant go in peace)

That old Allen 300 sounds very nice in that space. Despite their limitations I can see why folks hang onto those old MOS organs. I used to play a 601 regularly, but I can tell even in the video that this church has better acoustics than where I used to be.

The analogue celeste is nice and it gives warmth and body to the string sound.

[@radiofun232]

[@MultiOrganGrinder]

nice playing there, buddy.we are on setting 4 at our church.

[@RetroVintageItems27]

Sounds good, interesting you bring your own organ..

[@TheTarrMan]

Sounds great!

[@cromorne]

The Celeste is actually quite delicate. I'm rather impressed too with the overall tone of the organ, especially the manual tone.

[@retrochad]

Yes, this has an analogue celeste generator with individually-tuned oscillators for each note.

[@nrdesign1991]

That is insane!

[@retrochad]

The church bought this organ new in 1972 but I have done the repair work for the past 10 years and put in my own amps.

[@NorfolkSouthern-xt3xx]

Why not use Allen amps? Why use amps other than what was designed for that particular organ?

[@Turkeydoodlers]

You play well chad

[@swedishlutheran]

Chad...school buses and ELCA worship from ELW, a kindred spirit! Did you get the 1978 IH his running yet? Love those buses. Can you record you playing ELW Setting 5?? James in Wisconsin

[@ob_gyn_inc]

You should sneak in sometime and play Inagoda Davita...

[@Zylstra555]

Why not just upgrade to a NEWER,..not BRAND new,..but a NEWER Allen organ? That organ is now 46 years old,..and YES,...Allen STILL has the parts for it,...but don't you think an upgrade of some sort is due?
