Colin Reeves sent this letter about his recent purchase and delivery of a new Verona organ.

 

On Saturday 26th February I took delivery of a dream present to myself, a brand new Wersi Verona GS500.

 

During November 2010 I visited Keybreaks at the Queen's Hotel in Bournemouth to see the Wersi Direct stand of Organs. I had been considering buying a used Wersi organ so I carefully examined the selection on show and asked lots of questions. The last organ I owned was 25 years ago and was a Yamaha ME50. Since then I have bought numerous top of the range single keyboards and had organ set-ups by balancing one keyboard on top of another. After looking and hearing the Wersi instruments I decided it was worth spending the extra money and buying new.

  

I paid my 20% deposit and the organ was built to order by MusicStore in Germany and took about 8 weeks to complete.

   

The day I had been waiting for arrived and Robert New, co-owner of Wersi Direct UK, delivered my new organ exactly on time.

 

Both the console and stand were wrapped separately in bubble-wrap.and were very well protected. Within minutes the organ was assembled in my lounge and I was absolutely stunned by how good the instrument looked. I was delighted. For weeks I have been looking at pictures of the Wersi Verona on the Internet and I haven't seen one that comes close to the appearance of my new organ. Many of the optional extras are now standard and the 10 inch screen really is excellent.

   

Robert stayed most of the afternoon and explained in detail the latest OAS-7.1 R44 operating system to me. This masterclass has given me a head start and hopefully I will soon be playing stunning music to do the instrument justice.
