Hello there and welcome to our organ club...
I must say I couldn't agree with you more..
The "coming home" feeling, describes the exact feeling
when, after long hours of not playing or playing on modern
synths, you go and sit in front of your organ - it's entirely
different..
I can also see you have an excellent taste in choosing your
instruments, and can only guess that your preferred sound is
the "warm sound" which usually comes from vintage (or vintage
oriented) organs.
This is one hell of an enjoyment to your ears, isn't it ??
well, again, I'd like to welcome you and hope you'll
continue enjoying your organs for many more years..
