Love it!
I hope Protozoon will continue with other instruments as well - timpani, clarinet, etc.

...yeah still hoping for an accurate pipe organ. Even at the pro stores the ones I've seen have too many inaccuracies, particularly in the pedal board, keyboards, and draw stops.
Just one example what one should look like:
Have you seen this one: ?

..yes, but look closely at the keybaords and pedals.
This is what they should look like:
Well there are a couple with more 'proper' keyboards and pedals over at Turbo. But save up your pennies and search the couch cushions because they are a little pricey.

Hi!
I have been planning next years stuff and I have now these requests written down :)
-P-
..yeah I've looked there before and and just not impressed..
The first one originally caught my eye when I saw it as the case and pipework are nicely done and properly proportioned. However, when I looked at the keyboard and pedal details, that stopped me. The lowest note on an organ keyboard is "C", this one begins with "B" and the at the upper end of the keyboard the pattern of accidentals (black keys) is incorrect. The pedals on an organ are essentially a "keyboard" for the feet and thus mirror te same pattern of accidentals and naturals with C as the lowest note. This model as an accidental key between each natural essentially meaning there are two tones (B# and E#) that do not exist in the real world . On a model that costs almost 60$ this is inexcusable.
The second one is much better (almost looks like almost like a "clone" of the first one but with corrections to the pedals and keyboards), but yes, the price is more than people like us can usually afford.
On the last one, the console looks to be far larger than the resources which an organ of this size would have. If it had two keyboards fewer draw stops it would look more believable.
Basically the first and last model would need to be kitbashed to be accurate, something that one should not have to do at that price.
OK so I am a bit of a stickler, but having been a musician having played organs and pianos for a long time, I'm sort of like WW II Star Trek, or Star Wars enthusiasts who will not stand for inaccurate models that just "sort of" look right.
PAs like Protozoon and Ness have given us lovely authentic instruments for a really nice price. Both have done their homework and have an excellent attention for details compared to what I've seen on the more expensive pro sites. About the best organ I've seen in our price range is the one that comes with the Magnus Manor set, though pedals need serious kitbashing (basically a normal pedalboard needs to be "grafted" on)..
Someone should make a model for the Organ of the Unseen University of the Discworld (original design by B.S. Johnson who also built things like th Ho-ho (which is a 50 ft deep version of a Ha-ha), the (very small) Colossus of Morpork and other extraordinary things..)
....looks like something AntFarm would come up with.
Thanks! As a music teacher, I will buy them all. They are great to use in lessons that I use with my students.
...thank you. as well
I know quite a bit about pipe organs (as well as pianos) as not only have I performed on them, but also studied their history, design, construction, and regulation back when I was in college, (was interested in actually getting into the craft itself, however turnover is extremely rare as it is usually a lifelong occupation), but alas, my ability to transfer that knowledge into a 3D mesh is extremely lacking.
Nah. Ant Farm's is here:

KK please be a stickler and fix that typo, it hurts
...fixed.
I may be a stickler for detail, but dyslexia and my arthritis still get the better of me and can't seem to get browser spell check to work in the forums on Chrome (the spell check utility here is pitiful, it doesn't even list "the" as a correction suggestion for "teh" or "hte" like in Word and other programmes).
