Magnificent.

@ar4498 5 лет назад

The Sheffield and District Organists and choirmasters Association arranged a trip there years ago and I got the chance to play this wonderful instrument. What a thrill it was.

@janetlindley4465 2 года назад

Such a magnificent instrument. Lovely presentation. I can confirm this pipe organ sounds amazing when hearing it played by Jonathan at The Bridgewater Hall.

@beaufighter245 2 года назад

What an excellent presentation, most interesting and informative.

@stanner9077 6 лет назад

A great presentation to appeal to those who know nothing of organs. Uncluttered and informative providing interest and a simple insight so that when they next hear an organ being played they can marvel at the music and how it reaches their ears.

@caseyflorida 6 лет назад

Jonathan, excellent job of explaining the intricacies of how the organ works in a succinct and very understandable way! Well done sir!

@sherrylhenning5630 4 года назад

Thanks for the tour! I always wondered how an organ ACTUALLY worked! That was cool!

@brianhoffmeyer589 3 года назад

This was fascinating!

@WeHadOneOfThose 4 года назад

A much enjoyed presentation of the King of Instruments - you make playing look so natural and sound magnificent !!

@JBridges1092 5 лет назад

spectacular instrument

@janetturner7489 4 года назад

I always wonder great organists like yourself Jonathan how you manage coordination of hands and feet! Yes practice! Great info here that I didn't know. Thank you.

@comms9803 6 лет назад

Very wonderful and well put together presentation! Bravo!

@davidjames1684 5 лет назад

I second that

@clydesight 4 года назад

Wonderful video! I so enjoyed it, learning about, and hearing this magnificent instrument. Thank you very much!

@zoltangz 6 лет назад

FANTASTIC !!!!!

Thank you for the great class! I enjoyed each minute...

@CoolDudeClem 2 года назад

It's not hard to see why people call theese the king of instruments!

@michaelmiller1215 5 лет назад

Wonderful instrument and an informative and entertaining presentation.

@peteacher52 6 лет назад

Wonderful! Come to NZ Jonathan and put the new Nicholson organ in Auckland cathedral through its paces.

@pcbarragan 6 лет назад

Marvellous

@stefaniap4736 6 лет назад

Bardzo interesujące. Dziękuję. ☺️

@willemkossen 6 лет назад

that was a very good video on an amazing piece of kit. thank you

@organbuilder272 6 лет назад

The roller, used to control the crescendo - went out with the horse and carriage. Most Modern organs use a pedal - similar to the Swell and Solo expression pedals. Much more convenient.

@illogicmath 6 лет назад

Wow, this machine is more complex than an aircraft turbine

@SiegfriedPretsch 5 лет назад

Mr Scott is truly one of my favourite organists.

@cjp240573 6 лет назад

A Wurlitzer is basically a church organ with Tremolos, so really a modern day Theatre organ is possible by that company.

@Excalabur50 6 лет назад

We still need your rendition of Vivaldi's Autumn!

@jacquesbensimon6509 4 года назад

@TheRenaissanceman65 All four Vivaldi Seasons played in their entirety by Jonathan are available not only on RU-vid but on Scott Brothers CDs. The fact that they were originally written for baroque chamber orchestras has never stopped Jonathan from transcribing them (magnificently) for the pipe organ.

@jacquesbensimon6509 4 года назад

Does the electronic console allow for MIDI recordings so performances by a given organist can be captured for all time and replayed "live" on compatible organs?

@AzkaSuryaputra-u1q Год назад

how did you turn on the blower

@AzkaSuryaputra-u1q Год назад

how did you make the 3d animations

@myless789 6 лет назад

Could someone list all the pieces that he played for the demonstration? I’m a new organist and I’d like to listen to find more organ pieces

@PadsterDood 6 лет назад

One of the pieces that featured quite prominently in this video was the Prelude and Fugue in C [BWV 553] from the Short Eight attributed to J.S.Bach. As a new organist, this piece is likely to be one of the first you'll come across if you are having lessons.

@organbuilder272 6 лет назад

Interesting that you show the stop action in the animation as mechanical. In fact the organ uses huge, power-sucking solenoids to move the sliders. The organ is also hybrid - neither tracker nor electric but a combination of both. all the nonsense about the "Feel" pf the organ is eliminated by the use of coupling solenoids - the design of which is stolen from Wicks Organ Company in the USA (Pat. 1905). It is nice to see that they provided a full range of harmonics for the various divisions. unfortunately the use of 1/2 length reeds produces rattle rather than smooth reed sound. There is little question of the question of quality in the construction. but the beautiful classic cases that make most English organs a feast for the eye as well as for the ear, is lacking. The performance - No question there. Johnathan is like one of the most under-rated organists today. For organist do as much to bring classic music to the general population as the Scott Brothers.

@Towerbrian23 3 года назад

if I lived in the UK most definately, but I live across the pond. so greetings brother from the US. I love listening to the Organ, ever since halloween night, dad used to use Toccata and fugue in D minor BWV565 to start off trick or treat and been hooked ever since.

@organbuilder272 6 лет назад

An incredibly informative demonstration., particularly the pitch range and stops differences. So many people have learned so much from this - maybe you will encourage younger people to learn to play as well.

@ecsciguy79 6 лет назад

Wow! That is the best, most thorough explanation of a pipe organ I've ever seen. And I think I've seen most of the RU-vid videos about pipe organs.

@danw1955 5 лет назад

Great sounding instrument and nice presentation! I wasn't previously aware that it had a MIDI console as well as the regular tracker console. Pretty versatile!😁👍🎵🎶🎵

@kensherwood4866 6 лет назад

Yes I did enjoy your playing and the explanation of the organ. A stunning instrument. Thank you for posting. Now to arrange a trip to Manchester.

@chrisredseadiver1854 3 года назад

A dignifyed instrument for the brillant skills of Jonathan. A master instrument meets a master organist.

@mfurman 2 дня назад

This was an excellent presentation!

@brooksiefan 6 лет назад

Fascinating!

@PJBearstein 5 лет назад

How would selections from the Genevan Psalter sound?

@bobh5087 5 лет назад

That would entirely depend upon which specific stops are drawn.

@cjp240573 6 лет назад

Please, what is that tune playing at 5:55.?

@ruze11v19 6 лет назад

Hi, it is Bach - Prelude and fugue in C major - BWV 553.

@lesb_socal 6 лет назад

When you close the shutters on the swell box, does that also alter timbre of the sound?

@Goodchappy 6 лет назад

Yes

@bobh5087 5 лет назад

No. Nothing will alter the timbre or character of the pipes under expression (aside from voicing and tuning). Only the volume is effected.

@RonNewsham 3 года назад

The pipes make pretty much the same sound, however the box reduces the volume of the sound. Lower frequencies are reduced less, so as the louvres (shutters) are closed, the sound becomes quieter and less bright. Conversely, opening the louvres increases the volume and the brightness of the sound. The change in brightness is fairly subtle but quite noticable noticeable, particularly with registrations that have lots of high harmonics (such as reeds and mixtures).
