UNICO "hands-on" comments
Here following some comments we collected from organists who had the opportunity to experience the UNICO 500 and the Physis technology during an Hands-on session kindly provided by our Authorized dealer Carillon Music - Surrey (BC) - Canada.----------------------------------------------
"This Organ is by far the best electronic organ I have yet encountered"
Alma Tomey Organist at the Gordon Presbyterian
Vancouver (BC)
----------------------------------------------
"This Modeling Technology is Phenomenal ! I have never heard an electronic organ (analog or digital - including the newest sampling synths) that sound so realistic. With the speaker and amps system Carillon Music had set up plus the realistic reverberation available, the sound was the closest to a real pipe organ that i have ever heard"
Richard Olfert, Organist at the Faith Luteran
Power river (BC)
----------------------------------------------
"Two thumbs up !!"
Rob Aaron. Organist at the Seventh-day adventist
Shalton (WA)
----------------------------------------------
"I have previewed the new Viscount Organ. I am impressed ! The depth and dimension of the sound, especially in the ensemble, is very real and full of presence. (..) I think this is the best sounding electronic version of a pipe organ ever ! and I would prefer it to a pipe organ for its versatility (...)"
Tim Tucker, Organist and Church musician
Surrey (BC)
----------------------------------------------
"(...) I tested stops from every division of the 3 manuals instrument. Principals, Flutes, Strings, Reeds. All were a fine representation of those same stops generated from a good pipe organ. I liked the sound from every division (..)"
Harold Logan, Artist, Musician, Author
White Rock (BC)
----------------------------------------------
"Beautiful all around"
George Los. Organist at the Free reformed church
Abottsford (BC)
----------------------------------------------
"Truly an Amazing instrument !! From craftsmanship, touch, feel to extremely natural sound, this organ exceeds all other digital organs I have performed/played on. As a concert organist, I am fascinated by the depth (principle), lyrics (string), clarity (flute), nobility (reed) of the sound. It express my art, drama, and my poetry
Ellen Wang, Concert Organist
Principal Organist at the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra
