Free Organ Sample Sets

This ambition has been in the planning stages for quite a long while now and I think it has reached a stage where I am willing to put it on my website. My goal is to create several 100% free sample sets compatible with both Hauptwerk and MyOrgan software under a very unrestrictive license. I feel that there is a lack of free organ sets available on the internet for students (or others who have very restrictive budgets) who are wanting to learn to play the king of all instruments.

I hope you enjoy these sets as I have enjoyed creating them.

What can I do to help

If you play on a historic or reasonably interesting organ and think it is worth recording, you can get in contact with me (my details are on the about page).

At some stage I may include a "donate" box to help finance the equipment needed to make these recordings.
