The instrument is full, dark, broody, melancholic - I LOVE it.

I’m so glad that this unique and historic Casavant has been handled by Casavant in its move, reinstallation, and expansion. The character could not be more beautiful. Thanks to both of you for sharing it with us.

A nice organ built at a time when one of the original brothers was still voicing the organs.

Casavant has some really great diapasons! The reeds are quite unique too. This is the firts Italian organist I've seen on this channel since I subscribed and I have to admit he made feel home because I'm Italian too!

It is a pleasure to realize how Mr Cavalli demonstrates such a deep understanding of this wonderful organ, despite the long period of despising this style knew. This one, for sure, is between good hands.

This is the most beautiful church I have seen on Organ Media. I have never seen tabs directly above the stop knobs before. A very unique organ console design indeed.

Classic Casavant sound. Not quite french, not english, but uniquely Casavant. This instrument shares so much of the tonality of the one I learned on.

Is there really such a delay between key activation and sound or is this an issue with the sound syncing with the video?

Do know the church itself is massive/large, it may just be delay from where recording back to audio equipment.

I would assume that Brent and Mr. Cavalli probably sync'd all video/audio by having a common sound such as a hand clap, so there probably is a delay. This is not uncommon, but happens in English and American Churches - especially those that have a large volume of space to fill and when the console is not with the pipes and there is some type of electric action from the console to the organ pipes (and St. John Cantius - Chicago has a remote Echo Division that is all the way across the room). I have played at several churches in the USA where there is a significant delay between the notes pressed on the keyboard to the pipes sounding. You just have to sally-forth and ignore the pipes just keep the tempo going, do not listen to the pipes because you will become slower and slower. Also you have to figure in a large congregation singing and you certainly cannot listen to them or you will lag behind. The Echo Division is there to help support the entire congregation and keep the tempo going.

@@jefferyrowley8873 I can vouch for this. I was lucky enough to have two large organs available to me here in the UK when I was a student, too many years ago. One had the console just to the west of the organ chamber; the Great was therefore about 20ft above me and to my right when playing, so there was negligible delay. The Swell and Solo however were way up in the triforium about 150ft diagonally up and right of my ears and the delay there was over 1/10" which doesn't sound much until you try to play fast! The other organ was split on either side of the chancel, the console being on the south side fairly close to the Swell, Choir and (some) Pedal but the Great was high up in the north case well over 100ft away. That coupled with a very sluggish 1930's electropneumatic action - worse on British cold damp evenings - and a confusingly long reverb time made playing very, very challenging indeed.

Why did they install the console where they did, and at such an odd angle too?

Cssavant has some good years and some odd years. The older styles have much more soul.

Casavant, for decades, built «Catholic» and «Protestant» organs of very different character whether very small 2-manual or huge 4 (and even 5) -manual instruments. . THIS organ having been built for a «Protestant» church has a preponderance of 8-foot flue tone which sets it apart from the much brighter tone and more reeds which Casavant usually put in «Catholic» churches.

Beautiful organ, too bad it's tucked away above and behind the congregation as many catholic churches do.
