I hope when you wake up in the morning and look into the mirror, you see a reflection of an angel. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! You made many people cry with this video. Enjoy your youth!
@@HobbyOrganist I thought I had replied, but it doesn't seem to have gone through! I have played a couple of very similar Rieger instruments to this one, in small chapels in Eastern Europe, one with a rather odd 1/4 length reed (Krummhorn, Dulzian, Regal, Schalmei, something like that) in the little ruckpositiv case. Generally nice instruments, but I didn't find the action very nice to play and a bit inaccurate.
@@HobbyOrganist Rieger's original intention for these instruments was to roll the compact, portable organs into bombed out churches after World War II so that they could have an instrument. However, this specific organ has operated as both a church and home instrument.
I'm assuming you mean at the universities. I graduated from NTSU in the 70s and played on a nice little organ in one of the Episcopal churches there. Man, I wish I still had access to that organ. 😁
NTSU has only one Rieger, from the 70s. Both Episcopal churches had Riegers, St. David of Wales has a twin of UNT’s and St. Barnabus has a model similar to the one in this clip. Trinity Presbyterian now has the house Rieger of Ali’s Adkins. Unsure of the whereabouts of Donald Willing’s unique 3 manual instrument.
@@David-HPC1904 Oh wow! thanks for the info. I subbed on the organ at St. Davids. Interesting to know it's a Rieger. I have fond memories of playing/practicing on that organ late into the night. Actually, I think I left my organ shoes there when I left Denton. LOL
