Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott- Martin Luther - Dominion Orchestral Reed Organ 

Rodney this is the nicest I've ever heard this hymn played. It is a beautiful hymn and you played it beautifully. Blessings and Happy Easter to you and your entire family in Jesus The Christ s name.

Sounds just as good as any pipe organ I've ever heard. Also, the playing was excellent.

By far the best reed organ I've heard either on RU-vid or in the flesh.

WOW! Quite a powerful foot pumper! And, of course, eine sehr kraftvolle Hymne !

Yes, this is the perfect hymn for this organ. Besides, I love Luther's A Mighty Fortress is Our God!

Wow, that is really the greatest, fulliest and unique sound of a reed organ I have ever heard. I totally agree to you, that this is a perfect hymn for this organ to open it up and let it blast! Hope to hear more blasting sounds from this organ. Greetings from Germany :)

What a SUPERB instrument. Thank you, for posting.

Martin Luther would LOVE IT!

Sorry to have discovered your videos so much after their publication. I am floored at the commanding, magisterial sound of this instrument! I owned a 1910 Schiedmeyer harmonium d'art that simply could not complete with your reed organ. (Except maybe for the percussion stop.) Bravo! A grand choice of hymns, as well. Thank you for stirring my soul this morning!

i could listen all day....great performance and i am thrilled at the amazing expression and control you command....that organ is fantastic....keep em' coming....

This is amazing. One of the best renditions I've ever heard.

So I was one of those kids who liked to say for the benediction as everybody left the sanctuary. Grandparents had an old reed organ. They sold it as they aged. So I started collecting midi keyboards and made an early pre-Hauptwerk electronic organ. But then I wanted more. So I got mom an Allen 2-manual church organ. We put that in the dinning room. Then I found a Rogers Trilogy B-32 and we put that in the front living room (that nobody uses anymore). Then I got rid of the Allen and later replaced it with a Lowrey Holiday. Then she had to move to an apartment and we sold the Trilogy but kept the Lowrey. Now, she wants to get rid of the Lowrey and get an old pump reed organ. So this helps me decide on a model.

that is a beautiful orchestral reed organ. Must have to have a heavy hand to move the keys with couplers as in a tracker pipe. Ein Feste Burg is a great hymn and you play it as beautifully as if you were playing a pipe organ. What a sound!

Magnificent instrument. I have never heard such a grand sound from a reed organ. I have thought for years about getting a good one but the problem is to know which manufacturer and which model, and to find one in good or practically restorable condition. I think you may have answered the question about which manufacturer.

Sehr wunderbar das ist. Güter Werk; güter Lied; güter Gott! Wie schön! Prosit!

Just wonderful and fitting to 31.10.2016 Reformation - holiday Germany (Dr. Martin Luther)

Our good family friend was choir director and organist at a Lutheran church, and I heard this many times as a child. Thanks for your lovely rendition of this and many other hymns. I enjoy listening to your channel frequently.

Beautiful, and the bass is incredible! Thank you for sharing your talent and this amazing instrument!

WOW, what a glorious sounding organ! It really thunders!!!!

Why can't I click the like button more than once?

You really give this reed organ a work-out, and very competently played! Just what we need to hear. Thanks, so much for sharing Ein feste Burg!

Beautiful beautiful..one of my favorite hymns and your playing was perfection. Thank you for sharing your talent!!! And just disregard the troll that gave you the one dislike.

I have a chance to play an 1897 George P. Bent organ 5 minutes from the house and they want to set it up foir me to do so ...lol Only to record it to send to the owner who's had it restored in 1977 J.David Landaiche TYSVVM AND GOD BLESS you

Amazing execution! Could you post me the sheet score? My father play the organ and I would like that he play this amazing music. Many thanks

Wonderful! These always inspire me to go play my own after watching! This organ would be great to hear in a church with the mass singing behind it!

Wow what thunder it has! I love this organ - bravo Rodney!

Good question ap xpandy....Aint no pedals under there but the bellows pumping ones! The pedal tones can be simulated through coupling lower bass reeds. This keeps the character of pipe organ music for the most part, and for most Congregations, this would be a more than adequate organ. The overtones shimmer much in the way a pipe organ's would.

Lutheran greetings from Sweden!

VERY nice treatment! please don't take offense, when i express my serious comment, that you must have made, God Almighty in the Heavens above, smile, if only in passing. viele danks fur ihrer musik. and gross glck fur inhen. funf stern ***** and noch einmal, (nicht wahr?), viele danks.

Greetings from Hamilton!

OMG, that is AMAZING! I have heard and played many reed stops on large organs that are put to shame by this instrument. I would love to hear a Bach fugue on it.

wunder wunderschön ! DANKE!

I would love to hear this played on your Berlin Reed Organ. I think after 7 years you could recycle this hymn into a new recording.

Thank You Great Version Anyway God bless you

This is a beautiful performance. Would I be able to use this in the credits of one of my short films inspired by presbyterianism?

Shhhhhhhhh. Wait a few days and I think(?) you might be able to do that again. But shhhhhhhhh, don't tell anyone.

Amazing! You have so many stops pulled out it sounds like flue pipes. Wow that 32' makes it so much better

Beautiful! I love the variety in tone per the didferent sections. This has such a grand tone, I'm so glad you made it one of your life ambitions to restore these beautiful instruments

If this was a record, I'd have worn it out by now. Awesome presentation! Thanks for sharing. :-)

beautiful back to basic.. better than al the digital junk . . nothing so good as real acoustic natural sound reproduction !

A beautiful hymn played on a beautiful reed organ. Good stop changes, Rodney.

It was also translated to Danish - "Vor Gud han er så fast en borg".

Are these musical instruments available for sale in india? Please tell me if possible. Thanks.

You can’t compare the sound of a real reed organ and a digital keyboard.

What full body! Love it!

My god that reed organ can sing, sounds like my great grandmothers reed organ

You need a registrant! :-) Plays just like a big tracker! Wonderful. Well voiced/registered.

You are a master reed organ player! You make the instrument sing and use all its features to the full extent. Bravo!

God bless it, that sound hold's dominion over the realm!

A quick question. Years ago, I played a 'wurlitzer'. It was called a 'church organ'. It appeared to be electronic, but someone said that it had reeds to provide the tone generation. I never really looked into that (I didn't like the sound it made), but it has stuck in my head - after all these years!

That organ really packs a punch wow

Helle, where do you from? Nice to meet you, i love organs too

Играет на одной а работают сразу две клавиатуры

This is the battle hymn of the Glorious Reformation. Tremble, ye papists!!

Thanks Chris! I'm looking forward to hearing it in a bigger room this October.

Wow! Who needs a pipe organ when you have one of these!

Can you direct me to where I can purchase one like/similar to this one? Mine isn't half as rich sounding and needs billows fixed...i have a grand piano, Baldwin church organ i got in 74....2 electronic key board (Yamaha)...AND a pump organ...we have a huge entryway, so i have a grandfather clock, antique sewing machine, antique curio cabinet and my pump organ....i often open the 2 front doors and play my heart out...we're out in the country, no one but wild critters to hear me! LoL....but I MUST find one of these...just must have! Would love taking this to my church, have you play! I'm sure you'll get a standing ovation!

Thank you very much. I'm happy that you enjoy them! Rodney

Amazing sound from this old instrument

Wow! I didn't know the keys can double on that organ! I wonder why.

Io amo l'organo mi ci sposerei stupendo brano (Genova, Italia)

They sound a lot like pipe organs.

How do you know what stops to use when some organs are different and its not written in the music? Do you just use your ears, or are there guidelines?

I love this tune

AMAZING organ and organist. I see so many of these type of old pump organs for sale everywhere but none this nice or this well restored. You did and amazing job!!. The sound is insanely good. Do you restore these often or just this one?.

Feel like I’ve die and gone to heaven!! 🙏🏻

Fine manly tune played very well.- well done.

What a beautiful grand sound from a reed organ. Is it a Smith organ ? Thankyou for playing and sharing this.

i Love this song, a friend of mines mother played this on the organ for us when we were kids it was also the theme song for davey and goliath cartoon, what a wonderful song

Beautiful pump organ. I collect Victorian antiques, I have three of these organs in my home but none are as grand as this one, Wish I knew how to play them!

Absolutely excellent! Nice sounding organ, well kept. Reminds me of days before, as Fred G. Sanford would say "Athoritus" took my fingers.

Bravo Mr. Jantzi! This is a beautiful performance as well as a wonderful intruction to this instrument.

Thanks! I was trying to decide which version to play, maybe I can try the rhythmic version next time, but I get too carried away with the shorter notes when I play it, and it comes out sounding like a gigue..

Very nice Choral, very well played. I like a lot your registration, it shows us all the possibilities of this instrument. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! That coupler really tends to make you work the keys though, it is rather heavy. Good thing it is air tight because it treadles quite easily for its size.

Just as I remember it! Gott mit Uns !

impressionnant un instrument a réhabiliter pour ses qualités ..... bravo .... monsieur Luther eut apprécié ... loool

This sounds like a full pipe organ how does it achieve this? I assume like the large Aeolian orchestrelle models this uses pressure to blow the reeds as only this can produce a true pipe organ sound of this intensity as in pressure reed organs the sound is blown outwards rather than being drawn inwards as in suction instruments.

Thanks! One day I'll have to play something softer on it but it is awfully hard to do that when so much sound is available :)

Que hermoso órgano! Espero algún día aprender a tocar este magnífico instrumento saludos y bendiciones

Thanks Zane! This little organ can pack a punch when needed, but it does take a lot of energy if you play it too long at those volumes...

Absolutely incredible. So full of sound, and so rich a tone as well! What a brilliant instrument!

Brano musicale stupendo! Organo con il migliore timbro musicale sentito! molti complimenti. Quali registri ha questo organo? Desidero anche io suonare questo bellissimo inno ma non riesco a trovare la partitura musicale per organo. Sai dirmi dove potrei trovarla? Grazie Aldo (Chivasso Torino Italia)

how many harmoniums do you have

Wonderful music, great hymn, wonderfully performed! Many thanks for sharing!

Thanks Craig! I always get a kick out of your comments :) You are MUCH too kind!

Lindooo

What a beautiful instrument!!

HALELUYA!!! PREYSDE LORD!!!

I really enjoy the reed organs the the numbers you play. When I was a youngster many years ago I restored a few reed organs and put an esty in a church in working order. I love the Berlin you playing Fanfare. I am trying to download as many of your videos as I can, downloading this one now. thanks again and good luck Bill inOhio

Beautifully played!

it sounds so clear and so rejoicing. this reminded me of my uncle playing the reed organ. fantastic!

Has it short first octave?

That is the best rendition I've heard of this hymn yet :-)

Vey nice,I often play this one at church usually at the ending,and on October 31st.You should play some genevan psalms too,they would sound fantastic on your organ :-).

Mixtures? Who needs mixtures!

Listen before we go sleeping , thanks, nice! Great from holland

Beautiful instrument!

what is the stop list on that beast? can you do a demo stop by stop?

Stunning Rodney! The absolutely most THRILLING version and playing I have EVER heard in my entire life of this piece. Just think, "Ein feste Burg" had to wait until Aug. 28 2013 to be heard played as you have done by the rest of the world. Bravo a hundred times over Maestro! Craig
