Hi, I’m David from ePianos and Whitley Bay Organs, and today I’ve got an absolute beauty to show you – the Ringway Maestro. Now, this one’s a bit special. It’s the top of the range model from Ringway, and unlike the sleeker, more modern-looking ones in grey and black, this one’s got the traditional cabinet style, which I just love. It’s all tucked in nicely – classic organ feel, but packed with clever tech inside.
This blog is a companion to the video walkthrough (scroll down if you’ve not seen it yet). Whether you’ve already bought a Maestro from us, or you’re curious about what it can do, this guide will help you get the most out of it.
Oh, and by the way – we’re lucky enough to have two of these in stock at the moment, so if you like what you see, you’ve got a good chance of snapping one up:
The real star of the show here is the theatre organ section. Press that theatre button, and you’ll be treated to page after page of glorious classic organ voices – warm Tibias, bright Vox sounds, layered orchestral tones, and percussive glockenspiels. The kind of lush, full-bodied tones that instantly bring to mind those classic theatre organ performances.
You can flick through the options using the buttons to the side of the screen – very much like how the old Yamaha Tyros used to work. Not a touchscreen, but it’s responsive and easy to get the hang of.
Even better, you can layer voices together and create something totally unique. I show this in the video – taking a soft organ voice, blending it with a bell tone, adjusting the volumes, and tweaking the balance until it sounds just right. It’s a lot of fun, and surprisingly intuitive once you get going.
Once you’ve got a sound you love – maybe a big brass band setup with a marching rhythm, or a delicate theatre combo – you can save it easily. Just press the memory button, choose one of the 16 pistons, and it’s locked in.
You can store multiple setups this way, then save batches to a USB stick if you like. That gives you practically unlimited registrations to play with – brilliant if you’re someone who likes to prepare custom setups for performances.
And don’t forget, you can change your pedal sounds too. I demo this with a trombone bass – very satisfying stuff!
The Ringway Maestro is one of those instruments that really rewards hands-on time. It’s powerful, versatile, and above all, fun to use. The layout is familiar, the sounds are rich, and the editing process is straightforward enough that anyone can start building their own setups with a bit of time and play.
If you’ve already picked one up from us – thank you! Hopefully this blog and video will help you dive deeper into what it can do.
And if you’re still considering it, well – we’ve got two in stock right now, and they don’t come around often.
