So good to see and hear John talk about, and play this fantastic instrument. Thank you for the presentation.

This must be one of the most complicated layouts of any organ, but you did a wonderful job leading us through it. As a kid, I wanted to be an organbuilder, but my fear of heights made me a violinist instead! 😆

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I would love to do it, but do not like heights, go figure.

THANK YOU SO VERY VERY Much For Such A Wonderful Tour. How Many Miles Did You Walk Just From Inside This Massive Instrument. One Would Defiantly Get LOST Inside That Instrument. BEST EVER Video The Head Quimby Tour Guild Was Great. Deffinatly Have To Be SKINNY A MUST! For A Organ Tuner JUST To Squeeze Through Some Of Those Openings. Looking Forward To Seeing More. HUGE FAN Of Your KZfaq Channel. Ever Get Out To WEST POINT To The Cadet Chapel In NYS? Thats A Nice One & Would Be Great To Get A Tour Of The New HAZEL WRIGHT PIPE ORGAN.

Absolutely fascinating. Such skill and dedication. I trust the congregation fully appreciate the complexity and beauty of such a 'wondrous machine' belting out the hymns and providing stunning accompaniment and postludes as they leave divine worship?!

Great video of a beautiful instrument! I would also love to see you do a video about the organ at First Baptist Church Jackson,Mississippi, another large Quimby pipe organ.

wow, Aeolian, EM Skinner, Casavant, Moeller....she's got parts from pretty much every major North American organ builder in there! I need to find part 1 to get the history straight. You guys put them all together beautifully! I've had the pleasure of playing with this instrument (Hi John!!) and adore it!

Hi Brent I've been watching your videos for a while now, I've been installing our old church organ into my house, I've enlarged my house as for I had to fit in approximately 13000 pipes and a 5 manual console into my house, our church got a new pipe organ and hosts now just over 15000 pipes in the organ chamber, I'm the one who designed and builded our church pipe organ, I've builded the console and added the draw knobs, the whole entire organ is build by my hands and my machinery yes I can manufacture my own pipe work etc, but I only work on large organs and mainly on our church organ here in South Africa, we are a private church and not under any sinod and our reverent is the founder of this church.

You will be hard-pressed to find nicer people in the pipe organ industry than the fine folks at Quimby.

My father had the pleasure of tuning this organ many many years ago I don't think it was quimby at the time but rather skinner

Imagine if people were there when one of those facade pipes fell down! I bet that would be scary man, especially if you're one of those people that are sitting right underneath them 😱

Would the 100,000 include making them gold again ?

Please either increase your framerate to 60fps, or slow down your camera movements when you pan around. It's very difficult to watch at times.

Looked fine to me?

Maybe I skipped past it as I didn't watch everything, but I was hoping to see the speaker cabinets for the digital ranks. To produce the bottom C of the pedal Gravissima must require huge speakers to generate 8hz tone.

Seems odd to hear that the old organ needed to be scraped, in Sacramento CA, St Paul's Episcopal has the oldest tracker organ on the West coast. It was brought in from the east coast about 1919 and was built in the 1870s
