Pipe Organ | HOW TO BUILD... EVERYTHING 

Thanks - will bulid one this weekend.

The casualness of this is so funny - easy, just drill 5,000 holes

The most amazing thing about handcrafted instruments is no matter how similar you make them, every little detail makes the instrument and it’s sound unique.

oh crap. I forgot the church, now I have to start all over agan

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I've been looking for a DIY tutorial everywhere for a 5,000-pipe organ! I am now going to build one!

How did I end up here? I'm just looking for an Electric Piano from Walmart. Kidding 😂 What a magnificent art 😍

what was the point of the hipsters, literally only needed the narrator and the german guy in this video...

Thankfully, it is the electrical-electronics age...but some enthusiasts like me, still wanna see the machinery

I will start to build church first I need to make some bricks (: i hope to finish this project within 6000 years. Wait. I am not sure if I can live even 60 more years. Project canceled. Now let's play some Vivaldi.

Okay I will build sure one day. Thanks for the instruction.

You only have to drill 5,000 holes and aquire lots of material! Not a huge project!

My favorite instrument!!!

At 1:27, that is a reservoir not bellows. Bellows generate wind (nowadays replaced by electric blowers). Reservoirs store wind and regulate its output for a constant pressure.

For when you need a do it your self Organ video. "Now insert your 5,000 pipes in the box."

Even if we can replicate some of the sounds with electronic devices, i would definitely have a organ in my house

Excellent video, thank you. You made it easy for a non-musician (like me) to understand.

Thanks you’re a life saver🙏🏿🙏🏿

0:56. That moment when she's bigger than you

I have a Casio cdp 230r keyboard. I'm looking to maybe (in the future) attach foot keyboard like for organs. Would it at all possible to do this? Since the bass pedal pad can be expensive, I don't wanna waste money.

Im in love with this

Friend: hey cool organ how much did it cost? Me: my house.

Yup I'm gonna stick with the piano instead😆😂

Thnx my mate wants one thought it’d be a fun project

I followed along with the tutorial, but half way I had to stop because my dad found out I used all the pipes in the house for it.

Thanks Discovery Channel

I made an organ out of legos. (The musical kind, not the flesh kind)

Excelente reportaje y el nivel de detalle, los felicito.

Dang it, the 20000 sf cathedral that I inherited already has an organ.

My kid watched this video for her music class and she said it was so awesome and so interesting

What church was this filmed at.

step 1 : get a church *hang on let me go get mine*

Fascinating!

Really nice informative, but short video. Isnt a didgeridoo played rather like brass instruments, though?

They had to explain that in the assembly there should be divisions for each tube group 1:08

One day I'll make an organ with PVC pipes.

Complete documentary plz

As an organist of 25 years and a person whom worked in a pipe shop. 3 minutes does NOT even remotely explain this instrument. AT ALL. 1. Standard windchests do NOT have 1 thousand pipes on them. 2. Average cost of a USED pipe organ can be UNDER 50k. If your church wants one. WRITE a pipe organ company an email. Usually there is another church discarding their instrument for a praise band (SAD). 3. If you want your church organ to be exciting. Ask them for a Trompette 8' , a MIXTURE IV and to SCALE up the Pedal bourdon. And then a VOIX CELESTE for tonal Color. Trust me. You want emotion to your music and NOT just LOUD. 4. A pipe organ is much more emotional than a Praise band. Really, Consider the pipe organ.

Instructions Unclear: I now have a bunch of paper towel rolls on a cereal box in front of a fan and a keyboard

Instructions unclear, built a medieval cathedral

Now, I know. I have always wanted.

Wish I'd known it only takes just under three minutes of video to learn how to build a pipe organ before I spent all that time reading books and and learning from actual organ builders. Don't I feel silly now.

Es imprescindible que tenga ,como minimo 3 o 4 pedaleros de 32 notas con 72 registros,con solo un manual de 5 octavas,basta. Lo importsnte es que sea muy grande y haga mucho ruido.

Just 5,000 ... well, they DID say a "medium sized" organ!! Imagine the Wanamaker with something like 29,000+ and then there's that behemoth in Atlantic city that, if it were 100% operational, becomes the largest, most powerful musical instrument ... at least in our solar system!!!

20,000 man hours??? I really gotta wonder at that point which would be more cost efficient, hiring more people or hiring enough people and waiting almost 3 years at the very least???

You forgot a part that goes into the wind chest below the pipes. You forgot the magnets and solenoids and the wiring.

2:13 LOL

That's way, way too cheep! You would need 3 million dollars roughly to build an organ for a cathedral.

There are much smaller ones, which are possible to be homemade.

Excellent!

1:53 whats that song called?

You don't need 5000 pipes to have an organ with all the necessary tonal resources. In many cases, an organ with fewer than 500 pipes will do the job. It would be awesome to have 1000 or more pipes, but I'd rather ave a 4-rank unit organ than an Allen. A 4-rank unit organ could have somewhere around 340 pipes. That's still better than an Allen with only 2-4 speakers.

How to build a pipe organ: “Well first you need $2m+ USD.”

OK I'm stuck on step one.

What’s the piece playing at step 2? 02:24

Why is the Fred and George theme from the Harry Potter games here?

This is starting to sound like a lot of work.

0:23 - J.S. Bach - Toccata & Fugue

and people were building such a machine 500 years ago? this is an industrial process and just don't add up with the official narrative which says industrial revolution took place in late 18th century

My church got a $10,000,000 organ AND IT'S AMAZING!

heavily generalized but great none the less

Which organ is that at 1:54?

Sorry, but there is no organ under two million for a room that size.

That CGI console though… yikes haha!! Namely the expression rocker foot pedal locations😬

Nice 🙂

0:23 Everyone: Bach Me: OROCHIMARU THEME

0:23 Orochimaru's Theme?

Wow. The Discovery Channel has really dumbed down. Or is that just for US audiences?

I think a few details were left out. 😉

0:24 song?

:24 what’s that song

Arranger keyboards: 🤔

And lastly when you’re done building the damn thing you need a pianist to play it. Preferably someone with at least 3 phd in music

❤😊

wth, all of that under 3 minutes? a lesser youtuber would take 5 midroll ads to discuss that.

oh cool a talking rooster

2:20 😂

It is a lot more complicated than this

How and why did this discovery channel episode turn into a comedy skit?

There's something really fricked up about the organ console in that thumbnail... Im an organist. I'd know

It takes a _VERY_ Long Time to build a Pipe Organ.

Who the hell invented this

Already failed at step one 😔

300-500k sounds cheap compared to violins that can cost 10 millions

For the funnies

why the f**k do I need to get a church to build an pipe organ.

The make it looks easy altho is not

Pointless. And inaccurate.

0-0

I am sure you can still buy handbook with all info you need on woodprix. Just google it.

and this is how we turn an interesting topic into a very lame video
