Tonally superior to t he piano\, and more spontaneous than an orchestra\, these instruments were installed throughout theaters across the nation by the thousands during t he hey-day of silent pictures. Able to produce the sounds of an orchestra\ , complete with tuned percussion instruments and sound effects - they beca me the workhorse of silent picture music &ndash\;&lsquo\;the voice of the silent screen.&rsquo\; Enjoy the same thrilling sound of the pipe organ fr om Hollywood&rsquo\;s golden age with organist Jay Warren&rsquo\;s digital theater organ - sampled note-by-note from a real-live Wurlitzer pipe orga n!
