Later on, I bought my first synth and spent endless happy hours setting up the patches I found on the back of its four-page manual. With a following wind and a vivid imagination, you could picture them fulfilling a similar function to orchestral woodwind. They sounded nothing like the instruments played by Ian Anderson and James Galway, but produced a softer sound than the strident brass stops, and a rounder one than the nasal reeds. And on these organs, there were numerous stops called 'flutes'. three-manual jobbies with 32-foot pipes that made a sound that you heard with your lungs, not your ears. Before I ever touched a synthesizer, I played organs.
