That is amazing! I couldn't even imagine what it might have taken to build on of these. Hot Rod builders have NOTHING pipe organ builders. You were so lucky. May God be blessing your father, forever. As he is.
FYI, the music was composed by the legendary Sherman Brothers (Robert and Richard), Richard died last week and Robert died a while ago. They also composed iconic Disney themes like Mary Poppins, Jungle Book, as well as "It's A Small World".
👍 👍! Theater organs have the whistles and bells a traditional pipe organ doesn’t, but both are incredible instruments to master and enjoy- such versatility.
She is a beast. A beautiful beast. Especially in the right hands. Well done. "He'll have to get out and get under, to fix his little machine". A very old memory for me. Mike in Oz.
@@Tadfafty: Oh, thanks for completing your thought and thus making sense now. You might like to edit what you just said to your main comment (and then of course I would delete my reply because it would become obsolete after that).
@@Tadfafty: I see that you've edited your OP of this thread like I suggested. That's nice! (Now that you've done the edit we should probably delete our old replies since they don't apply anymore, so as to avoid confusing future readers.) As for just giving yourself timestamps, I guess that's kind of an interesting idea too, because even though on a very popular video our comments will get buried pretty quickly by new ones when viewed in Newest First mode, they don't tend to be buried when viewed by our own account in Top Comments mode. So yeah, in a way that gives you a little bit of an index for that video. I usually just think of other people's comments as either being directly for the poster or for the community as a whole, which is why I asked my original question here (which is gone now because it became obsolete and its continued presence might confuse new readers).
That the piano is _part of_ the organ (just like the other subinstruments are)! Yeah, it's highly fascinating, isn't it? I find especially fascinating when you can go into the back spaces of a theater with one of these and a piano (upright) is stuffed up there where you can't even see it! Like... Wow, how did they crane it into there with all the other stuff? Did it go in before the rest of the building was built, and would you have to disassemble it if it needed to be replaced?
That's the first time I ever heard the "bird song" stop on an organ. But then, it's basically an enhanced Wurlitzer, which (even without enhancement) implies it could do damned near anything already.
