We received a letter from the customer shortly after visiting to voice the instrument, and he has very kindly allowed us to quote from it:
....Having done considerable research over the last year studying, comparing and playing a wide range of available instruments, I selected the Eminent organ because it provided the features closest to the classic pipe organs which I play, the best build quality, design and finish, and most importantly, traditional expert voicing in situ to provide the finest quality sound
The new programming provides not only the English stops and voicing which I sought, but also the Baroque German and French sounds......the library of alternative stops and the customised changes which you provided have given me the greatest quality and range available in any organ in this price range.
The exciting range of sounds never tire the ear even after hours at the console, the inbuilt variance in the programming provides a more natural sound than the repetitive nature of sampled production....many thanks again for your advice, attention and hard work in providing such a beautiful organ."
