For those who are wondering what the range is: Lowest note: C0 (16.35 Hz) 12:29 Highest Note: C9 (8,372 Hz) 12:42 9 octaves

@abdullaharif6455 10 ай бұрын

This is true for this particular organ and most medium to large organs. The lowest note (C0) is produced by a 32 foot pipe, and the pipe for the highest note (C9) is only 1/16 feet. Some organs may play a few semitones higher. Smaller organs generally have C1 as the lowest note (lowest C note on a standard piano), sounded by a 16 foot pipe, as there is usually no space for pipes extending to 32 foot.

@@DevynCairns The 1921 E.M. Skinner 328 Magnum Opus organ at the Cleveland Public Auditorium in Cleveland,Ohio has almost 10,000 pipes! It cost over $120,000 dollars (which was an ass ton of money back in those days) and was paid for by John D. Rockefeller. It was the largest and finest orchestral concert Organ Ernest Skinner ever built! It’s still there to this day,but sadly it was neglected for many years. Efforts are underway to restore it. Two of the five manuals on it are fully playable. The other three are in a sad sounding state,and are not played. It is a monster of an organ. Severance Hall also in Cleveland,Ohio has an E.M. Skinner. Skinner revolutionized the American orchestral pipe organ sound,which is in many people’s opinion, is far more superior than European built organs. Ernest Skinner was a genius! The console in this video is very similar to a Skinner.

My dad passed away a few years ago, but he spent his life working with pipe organs. He worked building organs at a company in CT, and later ran his service business, maintaining pipe organs all over New England. He knew pipe organs inside and out, he rebuilt them, moved them, tuned them, restored them, and even pioneered using midi integration in traditional organ consoles so VST instruments can be used through speakers in conjunction with the real pipes, recording key strokes, as well as storing stop settings. Thanks for your video, it brings so many fond memories climbing around pipe organs with my dad.

@@dermozart80 While some church organs aren't fully analogue (due to price of maintenance resulting in the shift), this one would be still considered fully analogue, as they are still using every single pipe for every single sound, versus substituting for an electronically produced sound. Organs that also use an "enhanced" control board versus the typical control board of older organ models also could still be considered analogue, as the board is only actuating, while the pipes and physical system itself is still doing what it would have been doing before (but with more efficiency)

It's usually church music, but if you catch a taping of Music and the Spoken Word they usually do at least one classical piece. I got to see the organist doing this one piece where it looked like he was dancing on the foot pedals because his feet were moving so much and so quickly.
