Organ Facade Drawings
The following are concept drawings for organ facades. Over three years, Bryan has been researching stoplists and visual designs for organs, and one will see the progression of design level in these drawings. Please note that these are concept drawings, not complete plans for a new instrument (which would contain many more elements).

Thanks, glad you like them! 16′s can add a lot of nice richness to the instrument.
Bryan
Your facades are great, but the stoplists you create are the most impressive. I’m glad SOMEBODY understands the importance of 16′ tone in an organ
Thanks, Dad!
Very impressive facades, Bryan. I especially like 20b.
Love,
Dad
Thank you! I will keep in touch. Bryan
Not only am I a professional keyboard musician performing with country bands and also rockin’ the piano, but my main instrument is the organ. I am not only taking about the Hammond organ, but the real thing, the pipe organ as I used to play at my home parish. I started playing the electronic organ that influenced me to play synthesizers, Hammond organ, piano and the pipe organ at my church. I say that nothing is like the real thing, the pipe organ. Even though I play professionally with bands, (http://web.mac.com/skbe) the organ will always be my main musical instrument! I also write songs on synthesizers, piano, along with the pipe organ. I also write theater songs, New Age music and Christian songs. You play great, please keep in touch!
Thanks Jenny! Maddie’s is my latest and so I have more experience (so-to-speak). I think you could definitely draw a facade, you are an excellent artist! I will show you any others I draw up too. Thanks for the comment, Bryan
those are sooooooooo cool! i like maddies the best. it is so cool that you can draw all those. i doodle on graph paper, but i could never draw anything like those.
