Thank you for all you've done. I first discovered the piano roll CDs in middle school and played them countless times. Your reed organ exhibitions are a gift to everyone who encounters an un-restored reed organ. Your contributions help show the world how these instruments were built to perform.
once again an excellent demonstration of the stops and parts of this particular instrument. our historical soc. in town was just given one of these instruments and since i am both a music instructor and band instrument repair tech i felt that this u tube clip will give our group a sort of instruction manual for the capabilities of our new acquisition.
Thank you. New to the world of reed organs, but partial to Mason & Hamlin, that is a wonderful instrument. Hopefully, there is a M & H in my future. And as a basic tutorial, very well done. I learned alot.
Excellent information on the pump organ. These are wonderful old instruments and they have such lovely sound. I have a lovely old Bell that has a beautiful sound and has 17 stops. I will now know how to use the stops. Thanks so very much. All the best to you.
Franz Liszt authorized Mason & Hamlin to make special model organs that had features not found in other organs. I believe they started making them in the 1860's and continued until WW 1.
I began my music in church playing on a Moutrie 4 manual harmonium and the carpenter company F to F 5 octave reed organ... the Mason and Hamlin organ here is not very melodios. The sounds are average... including the sub bass. I heard on you tube a German reed organ F to F and you should hear the bass on that.. the other tones were beautiful too... And organ playing does not need arm movements like playing on a piano... its wont change the tone...
If this was made in 1887, Liszt was already dead. Why call it a Liszt organ? Did he have an earlier model? Why not play Liszt's music on a Liszt organ? I didn't hear anything in part 1 or 2. A snipet of the Magnificat from the Dante Symphony would have been nice.

And this continues....Your Vox Humana really vibrates....
Most interesting.
Thanks for the info. I do know that the"Romantic" organ was expanded by Liszt but did not know of his input with these "smaller" organs.
I had Dvorak played at my Mother's funeral when she, too, was "going home".
How fast and far down do you push on the foot pedals? Can you tell again the stops for old fashioned hymns. Church organ sound. Thanks so much.
