Currently the largest model in the series, the Concert 125 provides a very comprehensive specification with pretty much everything that could be required of any pipe organ and is capable of performing all of the repertoire. In addition to the normal divisions, the Solo Organ has two sections: a normal selection of Solo stops plus a String section which may be selected independently and coupled to any of the other divisions. For customers with less than 4 manuals, the floating division settings provided by Hauptwerk will allow this instrument to be played on smaller instruments.
The Concert 125 Deluxe is the first of the series to have photo graphics and several additional features which have been developed by Olivia Nagioff.
Obviously, it's a little difficult to create a "photo" console when there is no real life model to use as the source for photographs but the results speak for themselves. Likewise because of the large size of this particular instrument, some compromises have had to be made in order to fit all of the various stops and features on the single and horizontal split screens.
Whilst the sample set remains exactly the same as the non deluxe model which uses Hauptwerk graphics in terms of the sampled stops, several new features have been incorporated.
1.Great to Pedal Combinations Coupled
2. Sustainers to the Swell and Solo divisions
3. A programmable Crescendo pedal
4. Additional single switches to cancel stop noise and key noise in addition to the blower noise
Sample Sets
We have been involved with church organs for over five decades. Initially working with conventional pipe organs, we moved into the world of pipeless instruments during their rapid technological expansion in the last quarter of the twentieth century.
With over 30 years experience in creating sample sets for organs for other digital organ manufacturers and since 2003, for the Hauptwerk software platform, we are one of the longest established sample set producers.
In addition to our "off the shelf" sample sets of existing or composite instruments, we also create custom instruments to suit individual requirements.
We have a library archive of many hundreds of stops to choose from. sampled from instruments throughout the UK and elsewhere.
We also supply sample sets and stops to several pipe organ builders throughout the world for use in hybrid instruments.
Hardware
We can supply everything that might be required for a pipeless organ installation from the basic console, amplification and speakers to the computers, software and audio interfaces needed.
The various components are sourced from a number of specialist established manufacturers and supply houses most of whom we have been involved with for many years.
In addition, we have a number of contacts both in the UK and abroad who specialise in obtaining and converting former consoles for use with the Hauptwerk platform.

N.B. Some sample sets may not work with basic older versions of Hauptwerk or the entry level version of the new Hauptwerk V and above because these editions do not include some of the features that are necessary for our libraries to work fully on the Hauptwerk platform.
