From the touring years, when a four-manual Allen organ traveled the country in a tractor-trailer.

The tractor-trailer that carried the touring organ
Aram started touring full time in 1992. His four-manual Allen touring organ was transported in this tractor-trailer, which he drove himself.

Some venues needed extra effort. A crane was rented for the March 1994 concert at St. Mary’s Basilica in Phoenix, Arizona, where the console had to reach the church entrance.
The console at home
Aram no longer hauls the touring organ, but he practices extensively and continues to expand his repertoire.
