Indeed well played sir. And I don't agree with kjamison about the kazoo connection. But then, all organs, no matter the type are related to all woodwinds and horns, so there is something there. I do understand why he made that statement, but it is from a mechanical standpoint wrong, as you well know. Still you have a very nice and fun instrument there.
Hassler is an underrated composer. I remember first hearing any music by him in college, oh, 55 years ago, and being impressed. Thanks for choosing a work by him for this demonstration and our entertainment.
Amazing. If you study Synthesizer they say thw noise is "always there" and when you press a key you are "allowing the sound through". This is the literal predecessor and embodiment of that idea
The music played is typical of the instrument's era. Very nice well played and so serene to the mind. As for the inventor of the instrument I would have added a foot pedal that would raise both bellows by foot. Never seen this instrument before but I've heard it's sound somewhere along the line of my life. Nice, thank you.
I have a somewhat similar instrument, but the primary bellows has a spring pushing it open, and two foot-operated bellows draw air from it. My instrument is not so compact, however.
this is one of the earliest ancestors of the Grand Orgue, revised to fit the needs of rennaissance society, and can be played with a clavecin. The hand-handled bellows was an easy ane really effective way to have the job done without any mechanical problem, and this solution is older than the 13th century. go see "la dame à la licorne", painted in 1200+/- ; this is also a way to engage the participation of auditors. Last, i want you to notice several things : he can be easily moved, even without oil. A lady can carry this. The mor you add... Plus, because it's a renaissance era instrument, it's not only for the richs. Chifonies are commons, same for rebecs, violas, etc, etc... Musicians are one of the last part of society to access sedentarity.
There are some chamber organs with a stop called "regal." It is typically the only reed stop and sounds very similar to this. Because they are small instruments, they need to be kind of bright to stand out from the rest of the stops. This does the job very well
What a bizarre and delightful instrument! A miniature organ run by what are basically forge bellows that require a second person to operate? I love it!
In the old days, this second person was called the Calcant. A small organ requires only one Calcant, but it's not the same as large church organs. In those cases, the organist on duty needs the assistance of a whole team of calcants. Unfortunately, during Sunday services, they are often still intoxicated from the night before.
@@АлексФрончевский They did think of pedals to lift the bellows, but those instruments, called pump organs, are more expensive, cumbersome, and prone to mechanical failure.
Das ist eine Orgel aus dem Mittelalter, die im späteren Mittelalter die Wasserorgel abgelöst haben dürfte..... Aber gut nachgebaut, wenn Sie das so wollen......
I’ve never seen or heard of one of these. What wonderful minds people had to come up with this portable organ.. The sound is pretty incredible for the size of the instrument.. Thank you for showing ,and playing it..
The regal uses a 'beating' reed, as found on some pipe organs, rather than a 'free' reed, as found on later reed organs, accordions, and harmonicas. Otherwise, it has a fairly simple organ action, with the bellows, valves, and pallets.
@@keescanalfp5143 The regal doesn't have real pipes like organ reeds have, it is just the beating reed in the wooden holder with a channel in the holder to let the sound escape, the wind chest is directly behind the keyboard and the reeds are normally fitted onto the wind chest in a horizontal position. Some regals may have a very short sort of resonator made of wood or metal, but I have also seen examples without them, not sure if this one has such or not. Maybe the builder can explain. What I describe here is based on what I have seen of various regals shown here on YT, I believe Marcus does have videos where he actually makes the reeds.
@@Tom-Lahaye, thank you very much ! now i see that we need not look for pipes or resonators . it's miraculous how even the deep C, eight feet in labial language, sounds so well in the room .
That was fantastic!! I'm already in love with the harmonics in music from this era since forever, but to hear it from this instrument seems to make it come alive even more! ❤
Okay....this instrument is completely new to me. Searched historical information about it, it was mainly around in the 14th/15th century. Still, such a mighty sound for such a small instrument, lovely!
I've seen pictures of this instrument and heard recordings. Never realized until this video that it operated on gravity. Amazing sound and well-played too!
Благодарю за возможность увидеть такой удивительный инструмент. Только читал про такой, но не видел в живую. Я когда-то играл на гармонике с накачиванием воздуха ногами.
Has a surprisingly big sound for a tabletop instrument, perhaps that's the reason they set up in a brick corner, for sound reflecting purposes. A very nice piece!
Uniquely & rarely great music instrument, never seen before... Your video informs & inspires people all over the world. respect & thanks from Thailand... 🙏
It would be really cool if there was a valve you could turn to control the amount of air passing through. That way you could keep the belows at full when not using them and even control volume.
Welcome to the good side of UA-cam ✨
Really!
Excellent commentaire 🌠
Never seen one of these before. How wonderful! 🙂
A pleasure
Да, очень занятное решение 👍
Послушай русскую гармонь!

It's basically just an ancient melodica.
The regal is small, but MIGHTY! And a beutifully played canzone. Thanks!
Thank you!

Follow up Jan Katzschke. He recorded much more Hassler on the harpsichord.
Which Hassler compositions do you recommend listening to?
I'm 36 and and this masterpiece sounds epic! First time ever hearing this and I love it!
I was transported back to the medieval era. I thought it was wonderful. Thank you very much.
The bellows have a dual-purpose of fanning that fire this man is putting off.

...the reason there are TWO bellows- is to provide an UNINTERRUPTED supply of air...

Wow, it's tuned close to the just intonation, and it sounds awesome
The important keys have just major tierces and slightly out of tune fifth. That makes it sound just.....
@@MarcusStahl pythagorician scales ? untempered, at least...
can i try to guess his age ? i think he is from 1550 +/- ???
Which "just intonation"? That's a big category of tuning systems, not a single tuning system

Beeindruckend, was für ein Klang und was für eine Kraft! Wäre schön, so ein Instrument häufiger zu erleben.
Das sehe ich genau so.
Ganz toll, habe dieses Instrument noch nie gesehen! Es ist vor allen Dingen beeindruckend, wie laut und klangfüllend es ist!
Herzlichen Dank!
Мини-орган, такого я еще никогда не видел даже на картине. Прекрасный пример человеческой изобретательности.
Эти инструменты редко встречаются на картинах, поскольку они не столь наглядны. Однако они были очень распространены, особенно в XVII веке.
Не додумали только педаль, чтобы самому мехи поднимать :)

The first Casio keyboard 👍🏼👍🏼🎶
Wspaniały ! Taki niewielki instrument a tak silny i wyrazisty dźwięk .❤😊
What do the spaniards have to do with anything
@@isocarboxazidnothing to do with spaniards, this is in polish, talking about how small yet mighty this instrument is
@@isocarboxazidthe first word means "great" or "excellent". Nothing to do with Spaniards
What’s more impressive is how much music you can make with that limited a keyboard.
Das ist ja großartig!!! Kompliment an Erbauer und Jan, der spielt das fantastisch!
Das ist eine Orgel aus dem Mittelalter, die im späteren Mittelalter die Wasserorgel abgelöst haben dürfte..... Aber gut nachgebaut, wenn Sie das so wollen......
What a majestic sound! Just like the trumpet stop of a grand organ!
Beautifull instrument (and playing). I wish so badly I had enough to buy myself one !
That was beautiful! It's like history came alive, amazing!
After 2 minutes I took a deep deep breath... another metrum, beauty, dignity - a kind of timeless heartbeat.
Thank you for this mood, Sir !
Que instrumento curioso, interessante e com dom tão sublime... Parabéns pela agradável apresentação!!!!

Excellent. Great volume for such size. Rich chords. Well done.
One can picture this being played at some regal dinner/event...........really marvellous !
Which is one explanation for the term REGAL
Gracias.
Majestuosa interpretación.
Hermosa música.
Maravilloso instrumento.
That's pretty cool. So much sound from a relatively small footprint.
What a lovely instrument; both its look and sound. Nicely played too 👍
Schöne Musik,tolles Instrument,wunderbarer Vortrag!👍👏
What a cool instrument! Never saw (or noticed) it before.
Beautiful, impractical, astonishing and ridiculous. I have never seen this instrument before.
How is it impractical?
@@fennecbesixdouze1794 Can you imagine trying to play it alone?
I can see an upgrade where you use your feet to elevate the bellows.😊
It has to be said, that the regal throughout its history is reported to be controversal. As it obviously is in our time.
As a gearhead I can see a few ways to raise the bellows with one's feet. As sombody who enjoys beauty, yes this really nice.
That deserves to played in a room with a lot of reverb. Well done! Excellent instrument!
¡Que interesante y bellísimo instrumento!
Hermosa obra y excelente interpretación. Gracias por compartir.
Instrumento legal😊gostei. O músico também é especialmente bom e o levantador dos foles está de parabéns!
What an amazing and surprising sound. Wonderful.
Beautiful instrument and music. It reminds me some early Queen musics.
Beautiful. It sounds like a consort of crumhorns ushering in Spring, or something even better.
Благодарю за возможность увидеть такой удивительный инструмент. Только читал про такой, но не видел в живую. Я когда-то играл на гармонике с накачиванием воздуха ногами.

Das war ja ganz toll schön und hat den Ohren 👂🏻 gefallen!! Vielen Dank mein Herr!! 🙏 Viel Spaß!!
Wonderful sound. Amazing how powerful it is.
Wowwww..... it's an awesome instrument!!!! Glad to see it still being played today!!!!!
Bellissimo suono, e complimenti al M'. Che lo suona
Micro organ! A very authentical music! Excellent👍❗💗
Wonderful instrument and amazing playing
STUNNING. Thank you, from another keyboardist. 🙏🙏🙏
Stunning performance and stunning instrument!
A melodion with bellows, brilliant. Great Performance. 😊
Very cool and unique instrument, and very well played. Awesome.
Lovely performance and very interesting.
This is awesome, and I appreciate you playing this! Sounds great and well done!
BRAVO! i would love to hear this with 88 keys, into a Bluesbreaker overdrive pedal and a Leslie speaker!
Такой замечательный мини-орган, и музыкант так замечательно играет на нём. Браво!
Great job 👏 👏👏 Never seen this instrument before. Sounds beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talent. You’re a great musician!!!
Que bello instrumento y que hermosa ejecucion por el maestro. Felicidades.
What a great sound!
Maravilloso! Great! Wunderbar! Прекрасно! I can't speak!
Many thanks for beautiful performance!
What a beautiful performance and instrument ❤
I want to be a professional bellows lifter when I grow up 😊
I had never seen one of these but what a strong sound !!
Whoever is flipping the bellows is doing a tremendous job wow.
Job security for that person!
-Que hermosa interpretación.
It's like a portative organ in a different orientation. Very cool. Lovely sound.
Haßler is great! I have never heared a bad or mediocre piece by him, everything is fine. And you delight us with excellent playing 🙂
Wonderful! I've never seen one of these instruments before!
The sound is like a combination of crumhorns and harpsichord - quite unusual!
I can't tell you how awesome this is 😊
Such a clean cool sound!
A very curious and interesting musical instrument. I had never seen it before.
Has a surprisingly big sound for a tabletop instrument, perhaps that's the reason they set up in a brick corner, for sound reflecting purposes. A very nice piece!
It does it without bricks, I can tell you.
@@MarcusStahl Fantastic!
What an intriguing instrument! 👏✨
Great performance on an fascinating instrument! High five for calcant as well ;)
❤❤❤Very nice musical equipment.
Congratulations
Brilliant performance
Beautiful. Now all you need are left and right foot pedals to raise the two bellows.

This is good. Very beautiful.
nunca vi esse instrumento sofonado ai nao ainda ai quando se precisa de uma pessoa ao lado pra fica levantando ele
Beautiful music and cool machine
Wow! Very powerful and beautiful!
Absolutely delightful ! Prächtig! *: D*
1 note on that thing is grating. A full chord is magical.
Lovely! Thanks so much for sharing.
