Not only are pipe organs the _size_ of buildings, they _are_ the buildings. The church is the supporting structure and resonating chamber of the organ, making it a vital piece of the instrument itself. I just find that crazy. The church AND the instrument counts as one organ.

Kind of a metaphor for Yahuah's spirit -- the hebrew word for His spirit is ruach=breath. Since we are the temple of His spirit, then He is our breath when we are reconciled to Him through His son. Just like an organ in the temporal church building. HallaluYAH!

For those who are wondering what the range is: Lowest note: C0 (16.35 Hz) 12:29 Highest Note: C9 (8,372 Hz) 12:42 9 octaves

@abdullaharif6455 Год назад

This is true for this particular organ and most medium to large organs. The lowest note (C0) is produced by a 32 foot pipe, and the pipe for the highest note (C9) is only 1/16 feet. Some organs may play a few semitones higher. Smaller organs generally have C1 as the lowest note (lowest C note on a standard piano), sounded by a 16 foot pipe, as there is usually no space for pipes extending to 32 foot.

@ora2j251 11 месяцев назад

My dad passed away a few years ago, but he spent his life working with pipe organs. He worked building organs at a company in CT, and later ran his service business, maintaining pipe organs all over New England. He knew pipe organs inside and out, he rebuilt them, moved them, tuned them, restored them, and even pioneered using midi integration in traditional organ consoles so VST instruments can be used through speakers in conjunction with the real pipes, recording key strokes, as well as storing stop settings. Thanks for your video, it brings so many fond memories climbing around pipe organs with my dad.

@@dermozart80 While some church organs aren't fully analogue (due to price of maintenance resulting in the shift), this one would be still considered fully analogue, as they are still using every single pipe for every single sound, versus substituting for an electronically produced sound. Organs that also use an "enhanced" control board versus the typical control board of older organ models also could still be considered analogue, as the board is only actuating, while the pipes and physical system itself is still doing what it would have been doing before (but with more efficiency)

It cost over $120,000 dollars (which was an ass ton of money back in those days) and was paid for by John D. Rockefeller. It was the largest and finest orchestral concert Organ Ernest Skinner ever built! It’s still there to this day,but sadly it was neglected for many years. Efforts are underway to restore it. Two of the five manuals on it are fully playable. The other three are in a sad sounding state,and are not played. It is a monster of an organ. Severance Hall also in Cleveland,Ohio has an E.M. Skinner. Skinner revolutionized the American orchestral pipe organ sound,which is in many people’s opinion, is far more superior than European built organs. Ernest Skinner was a genius!

I got to see the organist doing this one piece where it looked like he was dancing on the foot pedals because his feet were moving so much and so quickly.

I fervently agree. I'm scared of heights too. I wish I had become a professional organist but I am very picky about time periods. I don't like modern music, and even in the classical music category, I strongly prefer certain time periods over others. Medieval music before polyphony is BORING, I love medieval polyphony, Renaissance and Baroque music, but it is rare for me to like anything that is later than the Baroque era. And there is only a handful of modern compositions that I like. So I can't be a professional organist either, since professional musicians are not allowed to be picky. That's why I'm still an amateur.

@claireforestgreenorgangeek7882 4 года назад

BTW I am really afraid of open spaces too unless I am surrounded by people. I have a depth perception problem due to being born with water on the brain. heights, open spaces, and high ceilings make me unsteady and wobbly, sometimes even dizzy.

@philwalker1167 3 года назад

Actually it's not that bad. I'm terrified of height and used to be an organ builder/tuner. You're kinda focused on listening for frequency matching so you forget how high up you are. I would be willing to be that most of those ranks don't get touched on a regular tuning visit. Stuff like Celeste's and Unda Maris ranks which are deliberately tuned flat or sharp to a main string are likely left alone a lot of the time. A good tuner can lay Principal bearings in a few minutes. From then it'll be maybe 3-5 minutes per rank, unless it is horribly out of tune. But a tuner needs a damn good assistant at the console on an organ that size to be that quick. Communication is key. Ranks below 8' pitch like Bourdons, double diapasons, etc likely won't need a lot of moving, unless they are reeds. It'll be the reeds, flutes and mixtures that take the time on this one. The organ in the Royal Albert Hall (9000+ pipes!) has front pipes which are over 32ft. The biggest I think is just over 40ft tall and weighs a tonne.

@@silverskyr12 Maybe it would be like how window washers handle the tallest skyscrapers--there is one guy who washes windows every day, and when he's done with the last window he immediately starts over with the first window because the whole process took so long that it needs to be washed already. By the time the tuner finishes tuning the last pipe, the first one is in need of tuning again. :) Of course, in reality huge pipe organs like this are often kept under preservation conditions and rarely need tuning (maybe once every several years or longer), which is fortunate because tuning these monsters is obviously a very big job. If the temperature and humidity levels aren't kept the same all of the time, then pipe organs would need tuning about as often as a piano does, which is once or twice a year if the instrument is played frequently.
