As beautiful as this may seem, I'd actually be pretty scared if this started booming in the dark in the middle of the night
Well yeah who wants to start doing line dances at 1:00 in the morning now Rasputin I would understand

Don't worry it is *BOLTED TO THE WALL*
To be honest, I would be pretty scared if anything started booming in the dark in the middle of the night
If that played in the middle of the night, I'd be OK with that. My neighbors however, would not be happy about it.
I was hoping the dolls would start kicking their legs
Hunter Bowman HAHAHAAAA !!! That was good .😂
lololololol
Hunter Bowman there men
Look closer, they're women in men's clothing. (:
Would have been awesome..
There’s hydrogen and helium, lithium beryllium...
Boran,Carbon everywhere...Nitrogen all through the air
Shezza with oxygen so you can breathe and fluorine for your pretty teeth
Neon to light up the signs and sodium for salty times
Azze MAG-NE-SI-UM, aluminum silicon.

this was built 56 years after the can can was written
so its possible its played the can can before
@@francesatty7022 Most likely. Can Can has been a very popular song.
It’s not made just for the can can, it’s made to read the notes and play it.
@@bloodyscalp94 glad you clarified that. I seriously thought they built this (probably) billion dollar instrument JUST for the Can-Can. Yep, I was totally convinced. 🙄
@@Allen1350 yup thanks to him now i know that they DiDnT make it just for the can can
This organ's beat drop is better than most modern songs.
That's because the sounds you are hearing are raw, authentic sounds. They aren't computer-generated crap shoots that gain millions of followers for two minutes, just to be followed up with "wait, why was that song popular?" Modern "music," (if you can call it that) for the most part, sucks.
To put it the way most of my family sees it: "if you need computer software to make music, you aren't a musician: you're a programmer with an ear for pitch."
Strip away autotune from all of these "pop" icons and see how many of them would've succeeded without that "omgsickbro" autotuneeeeee:
- Rhianna
- Beyoncé
- Lady Gaga (she's actually not bad without that added crap, go look up any video of her just playing a piano and singing nonchalantly with it)
- Ke$ha (that dollar sign still makes me 😡 ugh)
- any other "pop queen" of the 21st century
What's the difference between a pop star in the 70s and a pop star in the 2010s? People still talk about the ones from the 70s.
@@Allen1350 Yea you sumed it up, Its like toys. But companies favor quantity than quality
@@Allen1350 this is a computer in a way, processing the input you set in before. see 2.20
you can like both edm and classical music, stop gatekeeping music and telling people their genre sucks...
@@hehhe8761 I'm sorry if I gave you Tylenol for your Bieber fever. To each their own.
Closest thing to Spotify back in those days...
Imagine what a nightmare it would have been to make a playlist....
Well, there was the gramophone
@@-Faris- and you had to put discs on it, it was the original version of record players.
@@apotato6278 By the time of the mid-20th century, the automatic record changer had been widely adopted. This allowed a stack of many records to be played in sequence, and was possibly the first instance of a "playlist" in the modern sense. You could make a literal list of of the order in which you stacked your records, and then anyone else who had the same discs in their collection could refer to your "list" and "play" them in that sequence.
Sidenote: the term 'album' comes from the fact that before the adoption of long-playing records, the only way to release more than a few songs in one package was to sell a set of singles in a book-like case. This case resembled a photo album, so they called it a music album. And the name stuck...
I love this. These machines are amazing and feel futuristic despite being so old.
It's so amazing to see a hundred year old machine do this
That is a sign of good craftsmanship
Technically it's a mechanical version of a .midi player.
Each instrument has its own values in the "programming" and the "file" being played is the punch card being fed into it. IBM started with similar tech, but for textile production.
But all the instruments are powered by an extensive set of mechanical bellows which pressurize air and release it corresponding to the sheet roll. It's an upscale player piano
It's _timeless._
what I like best is that there's a good chance this isn't the first time that organ's played that song.
Taking from what another commenter said, it probably would consider this Organ was made 56 years AFTER the Can Can was made
100th like
If I ever start a country I will have this machine playing forever in the foyer of the capital building.
Count Koopa that would be my athem
I'd be your citizen
I would love to be there
Who's gonna tune that though?
Make yourself a micronation. Yes it’s real look it up.
Play this at my funeral. XD
Pyotr Illch Tchaikovsky my guy you already had your funeral
What a wonderful thought....you go well, guy
Keeping this baby in tune must be a NIGHTMARE. I seriously appreciate the delicateness of the sound here, as most renditions of the song play it far too harshly, especially in the opening few measures. Thank you for sharing! :)
effluviah its probably worth more than me tbh. A lot more. Steal it and make a fortune XD
how the fuck you gonna steal a full on organ?
Deadeyeguy_45 with magic powers
With skill and determination
I think you got it wrong. tuning is fixed with the fixed pipes and xylaphone pieces etc. I was thinking it is really a fairly simple machine to maintain, being so heavily built and simple-mechanical. I am guessing these are far far more simple hardy machines than complex pipe organs in cathedrals and concert halls, easily 1/10th the amount of stuff to deal with, and all in one box instead of spread out over a building with several floors, rooms, compartments.
This almost sounds like music before its time. This machine was built to provide musical entertainment for the masses, and this song makes full use of its capabilities and the variety of melodic and percussion instruments built into it. It's music designed to put energy in people and make them dance. And it's almost uncanny how much it resembles music made today for the same purpose. I mean there's a freaking 4/4 kick drum going, and there's a hi-hat or something like it accompanying the kick drum. Listen to the part from 1:30 on, the way the beat drops in and out as it builds to a break and then goes into a steady beat... the parallels with techno and even gabber are actually startling. The more things change...
the more they stay the same
It is music before its time if you've played rdr2 or just know what time the Can Can was made and performed ( In like the 1860s )
Everything about the craftsmanship of this organ is astounding, the artwork on it, the moving figures, and the fact it still works!
Everyone is talking about the song but I like the design of the orgon I love the pastel colors on porsolon looking material and the lights are such a nice touch like damm
Autumn Miss Epic orgon....
And loving the double spaces
And lack of punctuation
P o r s o l o n
O r g o n
Autumn Miss Epic I agree!!
I want one of these organs so bad.
Get one then. Whats stopping you
You could build your own.
Maintenance, weight and not the least: price....
And a WAF close to zero
One of those costs a half $1 million completely restored
Stinson Organ company still makes Fairground/Fairground organs. But they sound more like wurlitzer band organs

1.25 speed the way its meant to be played.
Thunderjunk Mcbuttram idt that’s true.. how do u know?
@@anastasiabananastasia I think what Thunderjunk meant was 1.25 is the speed that you'd usually hear The Can Can at, hope that cleared any confusion
Dude fer sure!
Agreed
I tried it and his statement is 100% correct.
Beauty and utility. Mind blowing music from something so old. I thank all the people in lovingly restoring and looking after these amazing instuments so we can enjoy them. Here's a gift to pass on to the yet unborn enthusiasts. God blessxxxc
“Patrick, check it out!”
“Whoa!”
“Hooray! BUBBLE PARTY!!”
*HEY!* Who blew this bubble!? YOU ALL KNOW THE RULES!
I unplugged my headphones and smiled at my sister with this playing. for like a minute straight and she started laughing
gosshhh.. ur luring your sister to show her legs like cancan disgusting
@@Redtube214 r/whoosh
😂
@@AGuyNamedIan It's appropriate for YOU to do the whoosh for this number.
Thanks to God that this has been restored. What a treasure! So clear, and right on the adaption for an organ from a score for an orchestra.
That was absolutely stunning to listen to! There would be something unique and sinister to hear one of these play Prokofiev's Dance of the Knights (the Apprentice tune by the way). Awesome nonethless
WatchKek
Those pipes are all in perfect tune! This is the best sounding one I’ve ever seen and heard.
The part at the start is the best and i cant stop but replay it again and again. Just perfect!

I don't remember subscribing to this channel but I'm quite happy that I am tbh
was probably because of this video ua-cam.com/video/JTnGI6Knw5Q/v-deo.html
Such a wonderfully clear sound! This thing is a small feat of engineering.
The "Hooghuys" family, who made these organs were from my town, Aalst Belgium.
Chris De Naeyer not true
@@wahoo. So, where are they from then?

I only hear the periodic table of elements song
Different song. See other comment.
This instrument makes me feel so happy inside!!
The speed seemed too slow for me. Changed it to 1.25 speed. Fix'd
Wow that’s amazing
thx
Still great lol.
Agreed
YES
The first music I ever heard from the time I was a baby was the Organ on my dad's Merry-Go_Round I love it and it always takes me home 😊
Is it just me or who can see the carnival in their minds
This is the perfect fair music
Please do Jellyfish Jam. The one where SpongeBob had a wild animal party in his pineapple house.
I LOVE these machines. I wish I lived closer to them!
I'm glad this beautiful piece of history is still going after all of these years
That's incredible 🤩
Fabulous!!!
Beautiful! ☺️✨💖🎼✨
Excellent work, nice song
For 1914, this is extremely impressive!
That Infernal Gallop!
You see all these machines playing more modern/anachronistic music, but it's very interesting to hear the sort of thing that it WOULD have played at the time it was built.
Organ in perfect tune. Thanks!
Ah...to only own this great Organ!! Love it. Thank you for sharing!!
The lights dimming with the dynamics is pretty cool
What a beautiful looking organ and how lovely the music sounds 👍
Absolutely amazing
Imagine how a mechanic marvel like this made a big impact in music in it's time of creation. Just look, the dolls move, it plays great even now, it even has lighting. Too cool.
Hi are there any new videos coming anytime soon? These are fantastic 😁😁😁
Spectacular, spectacular!
that organ is so delightful looking
Just brilliant!
That was great.🧚♂️🇮🇪☘
😳😲😃😍😊OMG, THIS IS THE COOLEST ORGAN I'VE EVER SEEN! IT'S AMAZING!!!
I've worked on a few of the restorations of the organs at that place - this one to me has the best range of instruments inside it. So many cool ways to combine the voices to get unique sounds, and Alexey is good at that in his arrangements!
These huge organs and Calliope are amazing sounding.Looking at these things is a sight to behold
The Hooghuys Organ shows how much man has regressed in making mechanical wonders. These machines were made with such precision BEFORE the age of the computer...
Machines are billions of more times more precise thanks to the magic of transistors
Lucky The Wolf Thanks for telling me this was made BEFORE computers were invented. I wouldn't have known by the title which states that it was made 100 years ago.
Computers were invented thousands of years ago
For Review we are living in the real "Dark Ages" where even the most basic morality is demonized
@@Adamsnadler214 Humans were the original computers. In that sense, computers were never really invented at all, just improved forms were created.
On that note, "modern" computing oddly enough could have started with this technology in the early 1900's (air pumps and mechanical valves) - all the pieces needed were developed, but for whatever reason nobody with the means and know-how actually did it with this tech. I wouldn't be surprised if someday we see a "small" (in function) computer created this way just as a proof of concept. It could even run program code from a paper roll or cardboard book, though there would be interesting limitations running code from that type of media, and RAM would be very very expensive per bit.
If one allowed cheating by using modern ROM/RAM, the CPU itself wouldn't be as terrible to create out of pneumatic technology. It would be large and slow compared to electronic computers but it wouldn't have the scaling problems that gear based computers did (as you add more mechanical gearing, it gets more complicated to fit it all together). With this stuff you could make a CPU of fairly arbitrary complexity if you could afford to build it - the problems don't get more complicated as it gets bigger. It just gets bigger.
It takes a brilliant mind to make such complicated machinery to play such amazing music.
Spectacular, spectacular, no words in the vernacular..💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
I couldn't choose if I'll like this or I'll subscribe to the channel who uploaded this majestic video!
It makes me feel like I’m on a merry go round in Disney or some other theme park and I love it to bits!!!!!
I do hope that laypeople don`t think that it is a wonder that something so old is still playable. They can`t be blamed though, for thinking that in all that time it will not have had any major work done several times, to keep it in usable condition. To maintain an instrument in that condition demands a lot of commitment, a measure of affection and shedloads of money. All credit to the owners that it had had over its lifetime.
"If you dare to cross our path, prepare to fall! Musketeers sing, one for all and all for one!"
Wow amazing sound for 100 years ago. The work to create this machine is mind blowing. Real craftsmen.
Being in the same room as this with it playing the drop of this song might make my heart give out.
This takes me back 80 years. We used to visit the Fairground at South Park Lincoln with the parents during 1940s.
💕💕🤗🤗
There is one of these that is mobile in Lisse Netherlands. Almost every weekend a small group brings it out, plays music and they hold cups for donations. Someone still knows how to make the punchcards as I have heard several Dutch entries to Eurovision along with other recent music. In December they switch natuurlijk to Christmas carols.
This is the periodic table noble gasses stable...
The machine once again playing what was once intended of it sounds so graceful for some reason.
This is just rousing beautiful! PWG
The roll of paper is basically a touchable file
Some sequences of notes are actually illegal to use - you can cut the book apart with the notes if you don't make sure there's enough paper left!! On piano rolls with circular holes that aren't continuous you don't have that problem to worry about, but with the cardboard books there is no gap between the notes, so you have to actually keep in mind how the cardboard will come out as you compose the music!
Amazing Engineering.
I got happy when I recognize the different songs I've heard as a child slap together in this 1 super cool whatchamacallit.
out of all your videos, i like this one the most, i imagine this in a real fairground, and this is the possible music that would play, good job!
This very well may have played this song on it originally. I LOVE to listen to these and I’m lucky enough that our state fair will often have one.
This is quite the bop!
Thanks for sharing this awesome machine with us 🙏
It looks and sounds amazing 😍😍👍
I was deadly afraid of these organs when I was a kid when they'd roll around in main streets in towns in the Netherlands because they were so loud. I quite like them now, and the antiquity almost makes them have a creepy vibe among with the stiff figures at the front, which makes it even better.
The fact this thing has a swell box really shows the attention to detail the builders put into it.
bedankt voort delen van dit wonder der hollandsche cultuur
What if a power surge happened mid-song right before the "circus music" starts? Imagine the power going back on then hearing this.
Props to the UA-cam algorithm for suggesting a wonderfully silly video while so many people are in isolation.
Search 'Robert DeNiro Can Can' trust me.
Well done! Love from Texas 💙💙💙💙
What a wonderful old machine! I'm thrilled to hear the music. There used to be a smaller version of this machine on a merry-go-round in Rye, New York's Playland.
What a work of art!
Finally its playing a song older than itself
It blows my mind to think that these were (really, really super early) computers.
I think the organ is very beautiful looking, I love the colors and detail put into making it
In fact it was restored with care.
Wonderful. Great video !
That was amazing!
Just love it.
thats just awsom
Still one of my favorite videos on UA-cam
Beautiful sounding organ acoustics excellent 👌❤️
This might be a truer vision of hell than anything Orpheus saw
beautiful....
Amazing so beautiful
Great.
My uncle in the Netherlands moms youngest brother , J. Poldermans build several play organs as these which he took on the road . He build a miniature too , pink in color . That is to say not quite a toy miniature but large enough . He somehow gave that away years ago to a friend in the 80s or early 90s who was from Germany . Love to have that back in our family . Am his sisters son here in Edmonton AB . He also created his own playbooks for them .
