A NEW AND VALID, STUNNING ART FORM

Torrence/Yaeger VPO™ is committed to creating excellent, state-of-the-art, virtual pipe organs.

Increasingly, no one can defend such old, hackneyed, aesthetic arguments as: "Pipes sound better, more authentic, and more realistic."

The best analogy is between that of drama to cinema: live theater is to the moving picture as the pipe organ is to its virtual counterpart.

Although they're completely different media, filmmaking is now a wholly accepted metier. One seldom hears that a movie is just a "poor excuse for live theater." Film is a perfectly valid art form and, after its rather awkward infancy, capable of great power and beauty in its own right.

We predict that it will prove to be thus with the VPO through our contributions and within our times.

Because of its reduced cost, space, and maintenance requirements, as long as a VPO neither precludes nor replaces the craft of the master pipe organ builder, and continues to serve the musical needs of the institution that purchases it, why should anyone complain?

The important point is that the VPO is destined to stand alongside its historic counterpart as a stunning addition to the world of music-making.
