Does anyone know whether disk 7 (I think that would be the one) was ever released? George San Francisco John & Fran Meyers <jack-fran1@xxxxxxx> wrote: My hubby gave the SOL to me for Christmas. Paid too much by far! I was appalled, but grateful. I haven't used them very much, but I will in the future at church. I have so many learning curves to hurdle with the new 3 manual to master and SOL is on the list. Personally, I think it is over priced. I realize that Hector spent a lot of man-hours on the project. But still think it is not worth $400 or $500. Not many churches are ready to lay out that amount of money. One of my favorites sounds is the Dulzian. It sounds exactly like the "swallow nest" organ in the cathedral at Worms, which I was privileged to play. This was on a tour with Marilyn Mason in 2001.
