Good old green machines in the basement, looks like Matthias is back 🙂👍

You never cease to amaze me Matthias!

Every time I watch one of Matthias’ videos I feel like such a slug...he is sooo smart!

Very nice playing Rachel!

How is the injury going, Mattias? Glad to see you're still creating content. Hope you're healing up ok.

It's quite amazing that you can create such a cool organ! Awesome job!

how awsome it must feel to see your wife enjoying one of your creations, kudos

It makes a really good sound for an amateur effort. It sounds a little "breathy" though, which suggests that the cut ups are a little too high for the wind pressure. Have you ever considered putting tuning flaps on the pipes? Much easier to tune and they only require a small modification from what you have already.

I'm so glad you fixed the Pipe Organ

I found your video fascinating and appreciate your musical knowledge and the obvious keyboard skills of Rachel. Her hand position and style while playing demonstrates fine training from an accomplished teacher. Thank you for creating this video!

That's how we like your videos. Rachel plays pretty well btw!

Really a fantastic project. I have always been fascinated with pipe organs, even as a kid. I had the great fortune to grow up in Sacramento, CA. where we had a restaurant called Pizza and Pipes. They had a fully decked out Wurlitzer Theater organ, with all the accessories, and a great organist by the name of Stuart Boyer. He mostly played requests, there was a box beside the consol where you could drop your request, and I would sit for hours , nursing my pizza, and cold drink, and listening to the organ.

I watched the video and read your article on the organ. Enjoyed them immensely. Thank you very much for all that you do.

You and your wife are very fortunate to have each other. I know that your children are going to grow up proper loving adults thanks to your fine examples of how to support each other. Merry Christmas and blessings for the New Year!

Merry Christmas Matthias, thank you for your videos :)

Amazing build & I can't believe that it still plays after 26 years!

Amazed to see your old creations still around and working. Most of my stuff just gets lost to time and not having any space, but it's always fun to pull out old homemade toys.

I still think he is the modern day Da Vinci. Doing beautiful projects without overwhelming modern tech. Beautiful!

You are excellent. Not only good at carpentry but music reviewing as well

Id love to watch you build new organ! Bet you could make a great series of videos on it.

Well done Matthias! As always!

I love how it sounds! It's so "quaint" and calming!

Very cool build and that Rachel knows how to play!

Wow! Great video. Engaging on several levels.

Yay! Bandsaws, table saws, genius working methods and awesome content. Thanks Matthias

We need a full build series on this!

It’s awesome to see you in a shop environment again.

Good to see you back. Back in the day I tried to imbue in my students an abiding interest in science. You epitomize this by showing how a grasp of basic physics combined with boundless curiosity explains and extends knowledge of the world around us. Thank you.

Impressive workmanship

Thanks for all you have shared with us! Hopefully your recovery goes well.

Glad to see your back starting to do things in your shop again!

That would have made a great build video. Very cool

A pipe organ? You made a pipe organ at home, out of wood? That is the neatest thing ever!

Matthias you are the best, Greets from Germany

I could just sit hear and listen to Rachel play that all day.

I see you listening (vs looking at a tuning device) to get the pitch perfect and know you're one of us.

Great project, Matt. The organ has a wonderful timbre and sounds a lot like the renaissance organs in smaller churches in Europe. But your constant pressure pump gives it a more stable tone. Really nice.

Now THAT'S the Mathias we came to Know & Love!!! Well Done Mat!

You’re the coolest dude on the planet!

nice to revisit the organ again sounds good.

I had not heard the organ being played before. It handles the differing demands on the air supply quite well. (1 pipe vs. 2 or 3). there was a big! problem with this in the 19th century, when organs started to get much bigger and louder. Nice work.

Glad to see you’re back in the shop Matthias, hope your tendinitis is doing okay!

Any time we can get another Wandel family member in the video -- whether it's kids or wife -- it definitely adds value.

Matthias, you are a genius! What I do with my videos is nothing compared to this. I am a big fan of your work! RESPECT!

Wow! Incredible Mr. Wandel. Thanks so much for your videos.

Builds an organ, marries a girl that can play it.

I know the analytics seem to indicate a lot of people click away when the music starts in videos like this, but I for one would be interested in a longer video of Rachel playing that thing.

Gotta be one of the smartest dudes around. Love your stuff.

Good eye locating the problem, interesting that pipe organ. Thanks for sharing and Happy Holidays !

It's so nice to see that you have.... Organised those pipes ;) .

Of course you made your own pipe organ. That is a wonderful project.

Matthias did you escape from NASA for a wood working career? Your ability to solve problems and create things (your work shop tools) is over the top amazing - thank you for sharing

Is there anything you cant make in your woodshop? You are a legend mate

You are a creator without limits and I wish you success and success everywhere in the world You have a wonderful and fun style in presenting the subject Thank you

Matthias, good to see the organ back, repaired and being played! Merry Christmas to you and your wonderful family!

Glad to see you back again. Happy new year.

Very cool with your own homemade organ. Thank you for sharing your story. God bless and merry Christmas to you and your family

What an amazing project! So great you were able to bring it back into use. Thanks for the video.

Excellent video! How to voice them was very interesting to learn. They remind me of the square bore Native American style flutes I make 🙂

Merry Christmas, Matthias, to you and your family. Hope you're healing up well.

Hope you’re getting better Matthias, KZfaq needs you!

We miss you Mr Wandel. Get better soon.

Please make a complete series of videos on organ making and explain your thought process.

Wow! I would love to see a build series on building an organ - or another instrument!

I have been hoping you would revisit the organ - those were the videos that brought me to your channel years ago!

I would love to see more organ videos! Time to add another manual and rank of pipes!

I've said it once and I'll say it again you were wicked talented dude

A modern heirloom. Nice fix.

Great seeing you back! That little organ has a nice sound to it.

Another hidden talent in the Wandel family.

a homemade organ? is there anything you didn't make? you're the best!👍😀

You're very talented. 👍🏻⛰🦅

You are not just a craftsman.

Wow that's some finicky stuff, incredible work. I would have thought those knots would make for a terrible tonewood, but I guess not. Sounded great.

Nice seeing the sleds and saws going again. Happy holidays to you and your family.

"looks like leakage was the problem." You're a grown man Peter, stop giggling...

After watching this video ...... I feel FULLFILLED! Thank you so much!

Great to see you building again! Glad to see your pipe organ survived the journey to NB with you.

Side note: that new workshop setup has a real nostalgic feel for me. Anyone else?

The organ video brought me to you!

Great build now you need to design and build a great organ cabinet to house everything

Yet another great video. It's amazing how you're able to do so many things so well. You're quite the master craftsman and artist. 👍

Cool! Matthias, my music-school students are excited! Greetings from "Musikschule Klimpertaste", Germany

Now that’s a proper Wandel video: an unlikely table saw repair of an unlikely homebuilt project, crowned with Rachel’s talent. Who cares about analytics? Dig into the Daquin Noels, Rachel, if you can adapt them to the short keyboard compass. Fun to play!

What a nice video.... more of that and the nice music too :) Merry Christmas to you and your family and thank you for your videos.

Very impressive! If you're ever down in New England, I'd be happy to show you around some of our big organs.

Man you are a freaking genius

Quality content, great to see you’re back in the shop

Really interesting video. Building your own pipe organ is a very unusual thing to do.

Another good year Merry Christmas Matthias

How does Matthias know everything ever? Like, seriously. I'm a hobbyist and have a lot of knowledge about a wide array of things, but I'm a babe in the woods watching these videos.

Man.. I wish I was confident enough to use a table saw like you do

WOW unfassbar tolles Projekt, höchster Respekt und Anerkennung mein lieber Matthias. Frohe Weihnachten und ein tolles neues Jahr mit viel Gesundheit für Dich und deine liebsten. LG

*Good way to show off all your built tools.*

Your wife really loves you, such a monstrosity in the living room!! Sooooo coooool! Thank you Mathias!

Wow, you can make music instruments, amazing.

New shop looks great! Looking forward to seeing more content!

That makes very nice music !

Merry Christmas to you and your family. Absolutely enjoy your videos. I see why you made the organ... Rachel plays very well.

Nice Mathias, glad to see you able to perform some projects again and very ingenious on the build but I'm a Hammond player so have a different sound I like but the pipes sound great.
