Voce Instruments

I just returned from the Ft Worth AGO convention. Had a great time meeting lots of talented folks. Many of whom stopped at our exhibitor spot to give Drew Worthen's Ultralite VPO a test drive. Many were apprehensive until I showed them the headphones! Something about playing in a room full of organist, ha ha. A few times I heard some amazing music so I would flip HW's audio routing preset to speakers so all could enjoy. The main sample set used for demos was Duren from Piotr Grabowski. With its supreme clarity and French reeds it was easy to play and sounded wonderful with just a 4.1 audio setup. When things were slow, I would crank out about 16 measures of a Widor symphony using an 'all reeds' registration and folks would migrate on over. Sadly, no one took advantage of the special pricing and complimentary delivery that was offered.

Please join us for as we present VOCE instruments, Opus 8. See earlier post for installation details.

Voce's Opus-3 rental VPO was leased for a day by UT's Butler School of Music. A newly commissioned work for the Wind Ensemble listed a vast array of instruments which included an organ. The performance was last night at The Long Center in downtown Austin. The acoustic shell used by the symphony as in place on stage so we only needed a 4.1 audio compliment. It was plenty loud as the Fortissimo section in the piece, could be heard with the orchestra by the audience. UT's professor Greg Eaton was the organist.
