The Concert 65-3 adds a further ten stops to the Concert 55 specification and which provide yet more facilities and flexibility. The Great Organ gains three extra mixtures and completes the basic reed chorus with a 16' and 4'. The Swell organ replaces the 16' Bourdon with a stronger 16' Contra Gamba, the mixture is replaced with a larger IV rank and there is an additional Tierce Mixture (Cornet). The reed section is split into two sections with low pressure and high pressure stops. The Choir organ gains a 16' stop to bring it into line with the other divisions. The Pedal organ gains a 16' Violone, and an extra rank in the mixture. Finally the addition of several percussion stops (not included in the 65 total number of speaking stops) pushes the specification in the direction of a more secular design of Concert Hall organ specification. There are additional couplers including Great Reeds to Choir Great or Pedal and extra divisional Octave couplers for the Pedal for additional flexibility.

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.
