I think that "mixtur maior" and "minor" are latin!! If it's right you spelled them correctly. However good video! I study harpsichord but i like to see these beautiful instruments. I have just one suggestion, I would like also to see some parts of the church, like the facade and the main spaces. But just something like 16 seconds, with no comments, just to see the context. Thanks for the attention.
Yes, I was going to ask about the wedding. I thought you'd say something in the video! What a fabulous organ you've just demonstrated. It would be great to sample for Hauptwerk! Thanks for showing it off!
This isn't an actual request as this may be rather difficult to do but it would be interesting (at least for myself) to see a demonstration of a house organ.
In fact, Fugara (originally pronounced "fooyara", because of "g" and "j" letters confusion due to their shape in Schwabach script) should be a "stringy flute" stop, not principal, resembling the sound of the instrument called "fujara" (a kind of long shepherd flute). Very popular in Central European pipe organs since 18th century as Fugara 4', often as a cheeper substitute of Salicional 8'.
Another fascinating video. You have the ability to make half an hour disappear very quickly but keep my attention. How long do you take to familiarise yourself with an organ you have not played before?
Some old spanish names of pipes: Principal 8' is Flautado de trece palmos. Octave 4' is octava. Flute 4' is Octava tapada. Bourdon 8' is Flautado Violón or Tapado. Open 2 2/3' is Docena. Super octave 2' is Quincena. Open 1 3/5 is Diecisetena. Open 1 1/3 is Decimonovena. Mixtur is Compuestas de lleno. Cornet is Corneta. Trumpet in chamade is Trompa 8' or Trompeta de batalla or Trompeta magna if one octave down. Trumpet 8' (vertical) is Trompeta real.
Hi Fraser!!!!Thanks and very very happy you could play such an instrument!!!Very powerful, bright and assertive!!!! Every Sunday I play a Mascioni III / P of 44 stops..very round and gorgeous sound!!!Thaks for posting!!!Manuel
Thank you Fraser for the amazing video's you make, but maybe it's an idea to put a camera down to the pedals, so you don't have to move around a lot with te camera while you are playing
Loved the improvisation at the end - definitely superior to my 'Toccata Giocosa'! There is a bit of a Scottish jig to it (!) but with wonderful jazz rhythms. BRILLIANT!
Great improv at the end, really loved the effect of keeping a pedal in the pinky whilst changing chords with the rest of the fingers. Also. That mirror on the top manual. Don't know how it looks in person, but on camera it looked kinda weird, like the black keys were extra short or something :)
Thank you for this great video..... what a wonderfully crisp sound. Can’t wait to see your series on improvisations.... an excellent idea!! I do have one pressing question: where is your ring??! 🎊💒🥂💐😇🎶💕
Wow such a great design and so near to where I had played with Bexley Youth orchestra late 80's --------maastricht Aachen Valkenberg Bonn Monchengladbach also visited Mainz - am - Rhein hyatt regency great hybrid of old meets new design
A very nice sounding organ! And it seems like the mics you purchased does its job, because the sound is really good in this video. A little question though: If you have any visual preferences when it comes to the design of an organ, what do you like the most of modern and classic organ designs? And do you have any preferations whether a new organ should look like a classic one or have a more modern and futuristic appearance?
Wow! I’m always impressed with your knowledge and playing abilities. I do not play because I don’t know how but I sure know what I like and you sir are superb at your craft. I always enjoy your videos. Thanks to you and your WIFE. 👍👍
Many thanks Fraser, really good stuff! Interesting to see the horizontal pipes. Also, your comment about it not mattering where you put the 32’ bass pipes, which is the same with a hi-fi “woofer”. Looking forward to your improv videos, as this is really what organs are for! Lee :)
Hi Fraser, nice organ. Love your channel! I did hear of Montabaur before though... Working there ;-) Though being a native wersterwaldian i generally watch UA-cam in english anyways.
About a 5 month viewer, but first time commenter. I enjoy your commentary. Thanks for making the pipe organ come alive. Having been steeped in a German Lutheran tradition but also living in the UK for 10 years makes your references to the contrasting musical traditions (not to mention tea, jam tarts (how about Tunnocks Bars?) all the more interesting. Thanks.
As someone else asked, where's the ring? --- or does it interfere with playing? (Of course we all know she married you for your organ.) Super improv there, too.
Wonderful Muhleisen organ. We have two in our area in Norway. one is in Arendal parish church, 3/62 with some earlier pipework and an almost identical console. The other in a neighbour church, 2/21. Both cleverly designed and beautifully voiced. Brilliant organs.
The swell is similar to the arrangement at Canongate in Edinburgh where the it is right in front of you as a player. I’m never sure how it sounds downstairs in the body of the Kirk but it is difficult to balance as the swell always sounds much louder.
I wish I could go to said concert, but I am starting my semester and live on an entirely different continent! (Especially because I am a trumpet player and trumpet+organ is my favorite sound in the world!)
What a swell idea to make this video, I’m positif this was a great idea! (Sorry, forgive me lol) Seriously though, what a super organ. I’ve always been quite against direct/tracker organs because sometimes playing them can feel like driving a tank, but you do get the immediacy and feel that you don’t get with, say, electro-pneumatic action. The voicing also sounds lovely and comprehensive too, clearly thanks to your expert organ voicing skills!!
Andy Squilliam I’m not 100% certain, but what I thought for years was random spots of white paint running on the pipes and wall in the choir loft, turned out to be bird droppings. Apparently small animals, birds, and bats find their way into the organ pipes and get stuck in there. I imagine that might also affect tuning.
@@andysquilliam2449 Well, it *is* indeed possible for some birds to sneak into a church building... I once had a session at a big cathedral organ, when --- out of a sudden --- a pair of swallows shot out of the organ, flying away with some chirping. Perhaps they were angry about all that sudden noise in their home... :-D
An amazing and beautiful instrument. Too bad that there's not a 32' extension from the 16' Posaune or Swell 16' Basson. Such a large organ, and room, would definitely benefit! Maybe later on? I've asked before, but I'll ask again: would you please give the *exact stop names* in your demonstrations, rather than just saying "Here's a flute, etc."? You're getting better at doing this, so thank you. 😊 Also, I checked the church's link and didn't notice anything about the *organ's stoplist.* Hmmm.... 🤔 Is it available anywhere?
What a gorgeous instrument. It would be delightful to have a jOrgan sample set/disposition of it for my virtual pipe organ. Too bad that I am half a world away and can not attend the concert. Blessing and keep up the great work.
A beautiful instrument. The reeds, even if out of tune, sound very French to me, and work well with the remainder of the organ. Curious about the oboe - is it voiced specifically to work as both a chorus and solo reed? About the 32' stopped pipes laying down: this was not uncommon in WurliTzer theatre organs where they were open pipes so needing a lot of space. Horizontal across the top of the stage was one solution. but I should add I have seen it with "classical" instruments as well. [Tut tut - Fraser, Celceus please, not Centigrade!]
Hi Scott, the simple answer is "yes", the correct answer would be "no" instead. All the pipes in a swell division are enclosed in a (almost always) wooden box with swell shades, which can be opened or closed using the swell pedal(s). It's the same principle as the sound fading away when you close a door to another room where the sound is produced --- which on the one hand decreases the volume but on the other hand also dampens the upper frequency bands. Effectively, the sound becomes a bit "muffled", dispersed and of course quieter when the shades are closed.
I think stops of 2', 4', mixtures and all mutations sound is horrible if it is together with the reeds, but the bass pedal with bombard is right. Sorry for my english improvising
Interesting new organ I think it’s rather clever to open the swell division to the roof but I agree that it must been difficult for the organist to assume how the sound of the swell division sounds on the floor.
Will you ever consider expanding and doing videos in France or Britain for a little more variety in organ styles. I love what you're doing anyway, but it would be great to see that
Sorry if you’ve answered this question before. I know you’ve written about which microphones you use to record the room, but what do you plug them into? A soundboard, a portable digital recorder, a computer or something else? Your videos are wunderbar. Danke!
I'm not an organist but would be interested to know whether the 'out-of-tune' pipes correct themselves as the temperature moderates or whether they need some form of intervention at regular intervals. Many thanks!
I regularly play on an organ where the bovenwerk (certain division in Dutch) is directly in front of your face, which can be really loud. Yes it does get hard on your ears after a while, but only if you were to play (close to) tutti for a long time.
I have an idea. What you usually do on this channel is to play classical work, masses or some of your own work. Can I come with a suggestion? In addition to being a big fan of classical music, I'm also a huge fan of prog rock, especially from the 70's. As you may know, the prog rock of that period of time was heavily influenced by classical music. Classical instruments were used, style and image also, and of course musical themes. So here's the thing. I've always thought that Foreplay/Long Time by Boston would sound really good on a real pipe organ. Is it possible that you could arrange a version of the incredible intro of that song? I know you have a great talent in you, maybe you even can make an improvisation around that intro? Now, I know you want to have all your viewers of all kinds of skill sets to hang on to whatever you do, but if you have difficulties getting all along on what you're doing with it, make sure it's something that's worth getting big eyes and dropping the jaw for!
The 4' principal on the ruckpositiv sounds like it's been voiced with a bit of a chiff! I do like the sound although it was over used during the orgelbewegung movement I think
I like a bit of chiff, and classic voicing, and low wind pressure. The Orgelbewegung movement started out with some really good ideas but it got horribly out of hand. Building new instruments to those standards was one thing. Wholesale modification of existing instruments that were designed with a completely different tone palette, to make them Orgelbewegung-compliant, was just wrong.
What an amazing organ, big beautiful warm sound. That has a wonderful pedal division, my subwoofer was really getting a work out. Another amazing performance!
Such a clear sound! But like some organ builders say, the sound will develop with time in the church. It will probably sound even better in a few years!
A very fine explanation of how that wonderful organ works. I had never thought about how the swell pedal worked, simple idea but fascinating. I looked on the web to see what the largest pipe in the world is... 64 feet. The church I used to attend in Paisley, The Oakshaw Trinity debated whether to buy a new organ or have the existing one restored. They opted for a restoration. It was somewhere around 12 years ago and a figure of £100 000 springs to mind. (I could be well out , it may have cost a lot more, I can't remember.)The organist was very pleased with the result. He is a fine organist and regularly performs on the Kelvingrove Art Gallery Organ. I have found some pictures of the Oakshaw organ. www.oakshawtrinity.org.uk/gallery.html
Good question. He said 46 stops, but I want to know the number of ranks. Most people who aren't organ geeks just think in terms of stops, so he might not have wanted to use obscure terminology.
I personally support the NRA and while I think Trump himself is a goofball, I am very happy with the job he has did as my president. There are all view types here in youtube, don't forget to love your neighbors. We don't have to agree, but we should respect each other. Peace :)
Loved your face on the out of tune clarinet.
I think that "mixtur maior" and "minor" are latin!! If it's right you spelled them correctly.
However good video! I study harpsichord but i like to see these beautiful instruments. I have just one suggestion, I would like also to see some parts of the church, like the facade and the main spaces. But just something like 16 seconds, with no comments, just to see the context. Thanks for the attention.
12:43 : Find viewers who can retranscribe your improvisations :D (e.g. the impro at the end is worth it).
Oh, please, Fraser, write it down to your new album!!!🤩🤩🤩 That is even more spicy, than Rutter's Toccata in seven!
Yes that was loud but wonderful! Thanks for the video, love the channel! Donation on the way ;-)
Yes, I was going to ask about the wedding. I thought you'd say something in the video! What a fabulous organ you've just demonstrated. It would be great to sample for Hauptwerk! Thanks for showing it off!
+1 for the Hauptwerk sample set. It would fit on my three manual Hauptwerk system perfectly!
Maior and Minor is Latin!
Awesome improvisation!

It’s just a well polished panel, not a mirror! All the rage these days on modern consoles!
any info re: your jazz organ music? what an up beat kick of enjoyment. i love stride piano styles, and i sure like the things i heard performed hear.
Not at all important, but it would be really nice with an outside shot of the church the organ is in somewhere in the video (beginning or end?).

Wikipedia says that some couplers are mechanic and some are electric. Is this true?
Question. Can you only control volume on the swell on this instrument?
Hi Scott, the simple answer is "yes", the correct answer would be "no" instead.
All the pipes in a swell division are enclosed in a (almost always) wooden box with swell shades, which can be opened or closed using the swell pedal(s).

Did I detect William Mathias in that improvisation at the end? Thoroughly enjoyed it!
The swell division sounds remarkably clear! It’s really beautiful!
That clarinet on the positif with the other stop sounds like the siren on a European ambulance
You are rightly proud of your contributions. It's lovely and lovelier to see one built recently!
Another comment what a beautiful organ live the lay out of the pipes and stops
A great new organ! Love these beefy pedal bass sounds :).
Bravo! Very nice piece of music on wonderful werk!
Spanish name of mixtur is: compuestas de lleno

You can use a portable sound card like the Scarlett 2i2 or stainberg ur22 plugged into a pc with a daw like Cubase or reaper.
I'm not an organist but would be interested to know whether the 'out-of-tune' pipes correct themselves as the temperature moderates or whether they need some form of intervention at regular intervals. Many thanks!
William Evans on my organ, they do somewhat correct themselves to the point where it’s not that asedio sounding, but they do need to be tuned
@@patmeaden Thank you, Mr Meaden - very interesting!
Beautiful organ !
look at him a New Organ !!! Great !
The organ sounds great
Wow a new organ,
Those pipes are realty close to your head, I would think. Does it get hard on the ears after a while? Do you ever wear ear protection while playing?
I regularly play on an organ where the bovenwerk (certain division in Dutch) is directly in front of your face, which can be really loud. Yes it does get hard on your ears after a while, but only if you were to play (close to) tutti for a long time.

46 Stops or 46 ranks?
Good question. He said 46 stops, but I want to know the number of ranks. Most people who aren't organ geeks just think in terms of stops, so he might not have wanted to use obscure terminology.
