VOICING
The organ presents unprecedented accuracy in the scaling and voicing of each note of
every stop. Should your needs be such that these parameters need to be changed, your
Allen Organ representative is able to help make these changes. This musical
breakthrough is an inherent part of the engineering design of the instrument. Final
adjustments in scaling and voicing involve procedures that are best left to an expert.
These adjustments are normally a part of installation and, once done, should not require
changes. If the instrument is moved to a new location or major changes are made to the
acoustical properties of the room the organ resides in, the instrument may need to be
tonally finished again.
Your Allen Organ not only faithfully reproduces the organ traditions of the past but also
anticipates the innovations of the future. Should you have questions that are not
addressed in this manual, please do not hesitate to contact your local Allen Organ
representative. Welcome to the family of satisfied Allen Organ owners!
BATTERY BACKUP SYSTEM
The memory for the capture system on your Chamber Series™ Organ is sustained by a
Lithium battery. This allows capture settings and related items to be retained in memory
when the organ is switched off or unplugged. Under normal circumstances, the Lithium
battery should last for several years. A built-in warning system will alert you when the
battery becomes weak and needs to be replaced. Have the Console Controller™ open
before the organ is turned on. If there is a problem the window will display for about six
seconds after the organ is switched on.:

authorized Allen Organ service representative.
CLEANING AND POLISHING
Your Allen Organ constitutes a major advance in long-term maintenance-free operation.
There are no regular maintenance procedures required and, therefore, no periodic
maintenance schedules to be observed. Reasonable care will keep the instrument looking
beautiful for years to come. The wood surfaces may be cleaned using a soft cloth
dampened with lukewarm water. A mild solution of lukewarm water and furniture soap
may be used to remove fingerprints, etc. Polish dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use wax, sprays or oils on the finish. Satin finished surfaces will take on a semi-
gloss appearance when waxed and will eventually become yellowed. If you need to
“polish” the organ for a special event, use only a very high quality wood furniture polish.
Keys and stops should be cleaned using two clean cloths. Immerse one in clear,
lukewarm water and wring it thoroughly damp dry. Loosen the dirt with this cloth, then
polish with the dry cloth. Do not use soap or detergent on the keys or stops. Do not use
wax, sprays or oils on the finish. Satin finished surfaces will take on a semi-gloss
appearance when waxed and will eventually become yellowed. Keys and rocker stops
should be cleaned using two clean cloths. Immerse one in clear, lukewarm water and
