@@jimthompson3724 He was my music teacher and choirmaster at school in the seventies and he was absolutely brilliant then. The older I get, the more I appreciate his talent.
@@christopherwhitelaw1197 not downplaying his talent at all, but he never sat the FRCO exam. His is honorary, along with his Doctorate. As far as I know, he has no degree that he studied for. But a phenomenal organist all the same.
Great! It's new and amazing that there is French and English sounds. The French is well known for me 'cause I heard mostly Bach on say "russian" Cavaille Colls (in S-Petersburg and Moscow). But it strange that this sophisticated instrument didn't show that roaring Bourdon, very impressive. Ian, did you forget? And one more question -- this manner of changing fingers while standing on the same key. is this for organ only, or for any barocco klavier?
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! However the tuning is a bit too pure imho. With the acquisition of Rodgers, maybe Makin can offer the Random De-Tuning feature. Just a thought. INCREDIBLE SAMPLES by the way!
Many thanks for your comments. Random detuning has been available for years on our Makin instruments, and it is down to the customer as to how much, if any is used on the installation. It is a very personal thing where there is little general agreement.
This organ is so superior to expensive, American instruments, it's really NOT funny! And your playing is elegant, even in a quick demo. You are a treasure, Ian.
HA! Take a look at the inside of one of these cheap instrumenta, and compare to the inside of an Allen. Actually, there’s no comparison. Which is why Johannus dealers avoid showing potential customers the inside. It’s embarrassing.
Harmonic Bass stops usually have 2 ranks playing at the same time - a 16ft Open Diapason, played with a 5th pitch above, which has a foot length of 10 2/3. This gives a resultant pitch of 32ft. Sometimes there is an individual stop called 'Quint 10 2/3' instead so you can combine that with the Open Diapason to get the same effect. They're never as good as a real full length 32ft stop though!
Makin organs are made by Johannus using Johannus-designed consoles and shared technology. But they are not Johannus clones. The tonal specification is completely different.
DandyDon these are the English samples from cathedrals and other notable English Organs. Of course with a small church like this, using cathedral stops throughout would be inappropriate.
That makes perfect sense. I remember when Makin instruments were shown at NAMM by Johannus, the term "English Cathedral Samples" was used to describe what was available. This is the term which stuck in my mind for many years. Thank You.
I really enjoyed watching this with Professor Ian Tracey demonstrating the Makin Thirlmere a very nice sound, very informate too!
Excellent tutorial. Thanks Ian.
Excellent demo
great vid, very thorogh demo - thanks!
Why are his chords soooooo good. And how do you improv so well!!!
I would give a whole lot to have that talent and genius...

i keep watching this video just to hear his improv
Easy answer to that…four letters. F.R.C.O.

That is some top notch demo of how you adjust the technique to bring the best character out of each... voice?

Wonderful! Thank you for the reply!
Very importante but It,s got thar artificial electrónicas flavour
Is this an electric organ? The console looks like some sort of johannus but the sound sounds like a very great pipe organ
COME THRU FESSA WITH THE VICTIMAE PASCALI LAUDES!
Sounds hammondesque!

Agreed. Instruments from Allen Computer Organ Inc. sound just so awful - crap US technology.

makin = johannus

Mostly too "muddy" sounding. Organ or microphone that's not up to the job?
Makin s johannis. Same factory

Mr. Tracy In this demonstration video are these the English Cathedral samples?

This organ sounds head and shoulders above other makes e.g Viscount or Wyvern.
Warum dieser Zynismus und Sarkasmus.Das Instrument ist sehr gut und die Vorführung auch.
Certainly have a fancy adjective for each tone.....bet you can't do that again by heart....
I'd say anything was good for the right amount of cash.
ian, you've sold your soul to the devil

Too much reverb -- sounds like the speakers are wrapped in fiberglas insulation rolls. Or like a 1962 Gulbransen! (I heard 4 min.)
