SI Sound and Light have recently completed the recording and duplication of a 92 key Mortier Dance Organ built in 1923.
The organ is a permanent exhibit at the Grampian Transport Museum in Alford , Aberdeenshire and has been undergoing a major rebuild and restore project carried out by Jonathan Smith a specialist organ restorer.
The recording of this unique organ posed some interesting challenges for our engineers to capture a quality reproduction. The Transport museum is a steel building which suffers from a fairly high level of background noise caused by the weather vibrating the metal cladding of the structure.
The raw capture was edited using a digital process before the final edit was approved for duplication along with a printed CD and cover piece.
The result if a very professional product which is available to purchase direct from the Grampian Transport Museum.
