SOUND DEMONSTRATIONS

THIS PAGE CONTAINS DOWNLOAD BUTTONS LEADING TO DEMONSTRATIONS OF SOME OF OUR ORGANS. FURTHER PIECES WILL BE ADDED AS THEY BECOME AVAILABLE. MOST OF THESE DEMOS ARE IN WAV FORMAT
IN ADDITION, THE CONTREBOMBARDE SITE HAS A NUMBER OF PERFORMANCES OF OUR INSTRUMENTS. THE CONTREBOMBARDE DEMOS ARE PRESENTED IN MP3 FORMAT.

In addition to the various demos below, the link buttons immediately below this paragraph go directly to a download link, YouTube and other presentations that feature our samples being used in real life environments.


Unless specified otherwise, all performances are by Charles Braund


The "On Line" recital by Daniel Cook formerly of Salisbury Cathedral and Westminster Abbey and now organist of Durham Cathedral shows a prime example of how our samples can be integrated into an existing fine pipe organ but with a limited specification to create a modern day instrument. It is also testament to the work of Ian Pounder of St. Hilda's church in Hartlepool who oversaw and designed the installation.

The demos below give some idea of our various instruments tonal resources. There are further demos available on other pages of the website.
