His name was Filbert....

You must have gotten the Micheal Jackson Smooth Criminal by this guy too. A couple thousand commented they did at the time last week. Well one things for sure, you and I and a whole bunch of people must have something in common

thats because its similar to something called midi which is what they used to make music for the old games like that.

@@cowboycarl121 I talked specifically about this song, the michael jackson one dont sounds like that. And it sounds specifically like a snes game not any old game music.

I other words, computer music sequencers are essentially digital copies of this technology.

The algorithm

marnie weatherup all hail THE ALGORITHM

I agree

honestly, yeah

Just never look up bot fly and you'll be mostly okay.

Pero ese organo realmente es un instrumento aunque no lo quieran creer, es como una mezcladora en el caso de un DJ

Technically they are. In this case one of the gentlemen cranking actually arranged this music (so is the ‘noteur’), so these are his books we’re hearing. In a mechanical organ, it doesn’t just “make it up”; the arranger or noteur “plays” the organ via the medium such as pinned cylinder, cardboard book, paper roll, computer data etc.

Just play with yourself

@@OffendingTheOffendable i see what you did there😈.

i can play the triangle

@@marc_frank I tried tuning one once...didn't go well.

wishing i could upvote this comment more than once

He did freak out when he visited the Mechanisches Musikkabinett Museum and went down into the basement where they keep most of the barrel organs. They also have a recreation of Giovanni Bacigalupo’s workshop (world famous street organ builder from Berlin) in that museum.

When you get the chance crank two Raffin organs with a buddy... personally I like to have at least partially visual help when playing synchronized... but generally you do it in the same way you would play an instrument in the orchestra/band: by ear! As long as everyone sync-ing up agrees on what the tempo of the song is supposed to be, you play that song... these days there is a lot of bluetooth synchronization going on... but as long as there is a book or a roll in play, no such cheating!

Tyler J bruh is not a word

@@wurly164 You're also supposed to use Isn't if you put the words "is" and "not" together. Also "Bruh" is a slang term, it stands for the same thing as Bro. If you're not fine with slang, get off the internet kiddo.

@@tylerj3658 sounds like bullshit, I will stay on the internet and use proper English thank you, sparky

@@drewsquickfix or he used a contact microphone

@@drewsquickfix It's certainly possible but I think the lack of background noise isn't necessarily proof. It could be reduced to -60 with a good noise profile and gated as well. Or they could have something like a piano mic on the inside! Either way, somebody put some work in to make it sound good, and even if it is a MIDI sequence, that's no easy task either!

Just to clear it up: you are not listening to a MIDI recording here (such things have happened on youtube already tho as well) but that is indeed the sound of these two organs. There *was* MIDI involved in the process of making the two organ books, tho!

Martin Heckel, yes, i too enjoy the band “deep puples”.

Yes, i wrote it in the wrong way. DEEP PURPLE, CORRECT?

Very interesting!

Isn't that called the internet😏?

@@rococoblue good one

It is called a busker organ in English . I built mine from scratch using plans from John Smith in the UK . Just search " John Smith senior busker organ"

BR aqui tbm!

Yeah, because using these organs is a vital piece of information to controlling the world.

@@OrdinaryLatvian Don't talk to the squirrels Morty!

Tom McDonough Right, no way it's because they have a pretty hard time teaching even the most basic of stuffs. They should devote more classes to obscure and anecdotal relics of the past which while fascinating are useless for 99% of the population.

@@YrocFrick yup

It's the cutting of the cards that's genius. Check out Wintergatan's videos sometime.

And you can't even play the machine lol

A month has passed since your question, so here is a resource for your answer: www.orgues-de-barbarie.com/ - Odin.fr will also find the company.

As another commenter said: building them by plans These here are manufactured by Odin in France

For some street organs this is true. For others, they at least have manual draw stops (the knobs on the side of the case) where a person is needed to manually change them and so change the sound of the instrument. Larger instruments can operate them automatically. Also, while most musical arrangements for these take into account a steady cranking speed (so, rubato is cut into the music; for example Gustav Bruder’s arrangements for German fairground organs which change the length/ratio of holes to achieve realistic rubato and a variety of tempos despite a constant cardboard speed), the arrangements Patrick Mathis has made here save cardboard at times by having “pauses” in the music, for the grinder to take a break before starting again, rather than just have a large passage of blank cardboard pulled through the length of the pause. Only a well made organ in good condition can stop and then start back up immediately like that and have the bellows generate enough air in a short amount of time for an instant start. Also, the grinder needs to be musically aware. This is why most old and new mechanical organ arrangements have rubato cut in if wanted, because the arranger doesn’t necessarily trust the grinder enough to do much besides crank at a steady speed, and change the stops.
