Mikrokosmos Regal 

Really!

A pleasure

Да, очень занятное решение 👍

Послушай русскую гармонь!

viva europa!!!

It's basically just an ancient melodica.

Thank you!

Indeed well played sir. And I don't agree with kjamison about the kazoo connection. But then, all organs, no matter the type are related to all woodwinds and horns, so there is something there. I do understand why he made that statement, but it is from a mechanical standpoint wrong, as you well know. Still you have a very nice and fun instrument there.

My soul is swirling listening to this

Follow up Jan Katzschke. He recorded much more Hassler on the harpsichord.

Which Hassler compositions do you recommend listening to?

I'm 36 and and this masterpiece sounds epic! First time ever hearing this and I love it!

Might as well be an argument about God versus humanity. What a waste. Fortunately, the former has long expired and the other is on the process of irreversible decay.

@@sunkenindeafGod is.

​@@sunkenindeafHm. I wonder if the latter might be connected to the supposed former? Anyway, what is the connection to the original comment?

​@@tgbluewolfQuite. Ludicrous. One does wonder why such a person exists. God knows, I suppose! 😂

This is probably a very modern instrument but based on a very old principle.

I have a somewhat similar instrument, but the primary bellows has a spring pushing it open, and two foot-operated bellows draw air from it. My instrument is not so compact, however.

...the reason there are TWO bellows- is to provide an UNINTERRUPTED supply of air...

Как называется

this is one of the earliest ancestors of the Grand Orgue, revised to fit the needs of rennaissance society, and can be played with a clavecin. The hand-handled bellows was an easy ane really effective way to have the job done without any mechanical problem, and this solution is older than the 13th century. go see "la dame à la licorne", painted in 1200+/- ; this is also a way to engage the participation of auditors. Last, i want you to notice several things : he can be easily moved, even without oil. A lady can carry this. The mor you add... Plus, because it's a renaissance era instrument, it's not only for the richs. Chifonies are commons, same for rebecs, violas, etc, etc... Musicians are one of the last part of society to access sedentarity.

Эти инструменты редко встречаются на картинах, поскольку они не столь наглядны. Однако они были очень распространены, особенно в XVII веке.

Не додумали только педаль, чтобы самому мехи поднимать :)

На баян похож

@@user-kq1ng9ep2g Сервопривод для подъёма мехов можно сделать на Ардуино за вечер.

​@@user-kq1ng9ep2g They did think of pedals to lift the bellows, but those instruments, called pump organs, are more expensive, cumbersome, and prone to mechanical failure.

The important keys have just major tierces and slightly out of tune fifth. That makes it sound just.....

@@MarcusStahl pythagorician scales ? untempered, at least... can i try to guess his age ? i think he is from 1550 +/- ???

Which "just intonation"? That's a big category of tuning systems, not a single tuning system

@@SamChaneyProductions in this case 5-limit ji, but the system used is quarter-comma meantone

Das sehe ich genau so.

What do the spaniards have to do with anything

​@@isocarboxazidnothing to do with spaniards, this is in polish, talking about how small yet mighty this instrument is

​@@isocarboxazidthe first word means "great" or "excellent". Nothing to do with Spaniards

In the old days, this second person was called the Calcant. A small organ requires only one Calcant, but it's not the same as large church organs. In those cases, the organist on duty needs the assistance of a whole team of calcants. Unfortunately, during Sunday services, they are often still intoxicated from the night before.

Job security for that person!

Herzlichen Dank!

How is it impractical?

@@fennecbesixdouze1794 Can you imagine trying to play it alone?

I can see an upgrade where you use your feet to elevate the bellows.😊

It has to be said, that the regal throughout its history is reported to be controversal. As it obviously is in our time.

As a gearhead I can see a few ways to raise the bellows with one's feet. As sombody who enjoys beauty, yes this really nice.

Das ist eine Orgel aus dem Mittelalter, die im späteren Mittelalter die Wasserorgel abgelöst haben dürfte..... Aber gut nachgebaut, wenn Sie das so wollen......

Danke RU-vid so etwas bezauberndes sehen und hören zu dürfen ❣ 🪗🎹

Which is one explanation for the term REGAL

1/4 comma meantone

@@MarcusStahl, jaah, äußerst geeignet für diese musik ! und vielleicht muss man schon mehrmals pro tag nachstimmen ?

@@keescanalfp5143 , meine Regale halten die Stimmung über viele Wochen, manchmal Monate.

С удовольствием.

yeah haha ! a totally different cup of tea .

It does it without bricks, I can tell you.

@@MarcusStahl Fantastic!

The regal uses a 'beating' reed, as found on some pipe organs, rather than a 'free' reed, as found on later reed organs, accordions, and harmonicas. Otherwise, it has a fairly simple organ action, with the bellows, valves, and pallets.

​@@Lucius1958, yeah thank you! now we don't see the reed pipes. are they hidden under the table or even in it ? where are the pipes .

@@keescanalfp5143 The regal doesn't have real pipes like organ reeds have, it is just the beating reed in the wooden holder with a channel in the holder to let the sound escape, the wind chest is directly behind the keyboard and the reeds are normally fitted onto the wind chest in a horizontal position. Some regals may have a very short sort of resonator made of wood or metal, but I have also seen examples without them, not sure if this one has such or not. Maybe the builder can explain. What I describe here is based on what I have seen of various regals shown here on YT, I believe Marcus does have videos where he actually makes the reeds.

@@Tom-Lahaye, thank you very much ! now i see that we need not look for pipes or resonators . it's miraculous how even the deep C, eight feet in labial language, sounds so well in the room .

@@keescanalfp5143 , this video is showing some drawings and photos of pipes: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fQAMOGi3F3o.htmlsi=WAnJOt01mV70Gjo0

Yes. Which has been done. I would prefer to give it a feeder, which I have been doing on my regals.
