Good to hear some of the instruments from this wonderful museum. As it's 12,000 miles from where I live a visit would take some planning, so I'm grateful for this tantalising 4-minute visit, which I hope you'll repeat before long. Thanks!
I had know idea this place existed. I have a Waterloo reed organ, from Waterloo, New York. Paid $1 for it about a decade ago. They're never usually terribly expensive.
Wow ! Player Organs seem to realy have a cool sound and the ability to change the stops while it's playing it just cool! Hopefully I got the stop changing right! At a pump organ workshop at the Conklin Reed organ museum In hangover Michigan, USA; there's a player organ there that the restores had trouble repairing which is disturbing, because they must be more rare than even the player pianos seem to be at least here in Wisconsin!
Great to see you playing the organ again! Hasn't your back kept you playing the instrument for quite a while? Out of curiosity, how good are you at sight reading 4 part hymns?
@LootNoog Otherwise I would get mistaken for a Hutterite. No, really, that happened several times. And I didn't shave completely because, well, I don't like shaving. Besides, I kinda like the look.
Here in Britain they give them away, so you can pick and choose. Typical measurements: four feet wide, two feet deep, three-foot-six high, easily carried by two people. Twenty-five years between tunings. Minor attention every five years.... Occasional dust-blockage of reeds easily dealt with. I'm sure you can squeeze one in somewhere!
@@MrInitialMan A good percentage of all the reed organs in Britain were made in Guelph, Woodstock, Clinton and Bowmanville, all in Ontario. To see and hear fine Canadian reed organs expertly restored and played, see Rodney Jantzi's videos on UA-cam.
Pianos are percussion, organs are not. Organs use compressed air and direct it through a pipe. There are two types of organs. The flue organs that have a slit in them not unlike a whistle, and reed organs which have a thin piece of metal that vibrates and produces sound when the air passes by.
Pretty much. But because they are so different from normal wind instruments, people tend to leave them out of that category and instead just classify them as a keyboard instrument.
@@OperatorZx wait so you consider organs to be keyboard instruments, but not pianos? I get that the sound production is different, but... it's got a keyboard
I think you are misunderstanding what I am saying. Pianos are percussion and keyboard. Organs are woodwind and keyboard. But because they are different than most percussion and woodwind instruments, they are both more commonly classified as keyboard instruments.
Good to know so many are available if someone needs an organ transplant.
James Parlane yes

And an organ player, damn son
Wow, didn't have clue. Trent is a man of many musical talents, respect!
Great video as usual Trent!! Keep up the great work.
Wow, you can play organ? Awesome!
Didn't know you were also an organist. Great to see you've explored lots of music.
Funny, normally our dog doesn't care about the noises from my Ipad, but there he listens.....

Aha! Another fellow reed organist!

Great video, can’t wait for more
Haven’t finished but I already know
Haha that is amazing! I had no idea you could play keys.
Check out the Reed Organ Society .....These are wonderful instruments. I rebuilt one recently...EP Carpenter
i wish you would make a video about a mellophone vs. marching french horn. maybe even vs. a french horn
he has, just look around for it
Oh my god! How many instruments can you play man? That’s insane!
All of them.
Great to see you playing the organ again! Hasn't your back kept you playing the instrument for quite a while?
Out of curiosity, how good are you at sight reading 4 part hymns?
I can do a reasonable job as long as it’s not too complex and is written in either 3 or 4 flats.
Nice!
Awesome video, keep up the great work👍I subbed@
I've always wanted a reed organ, but never had the room for one.

I live in Canada, though. Importing one from Britain may be tricky.

Shouldve played the spiderman pizza theme.

Finlandia, by Sibelius.
Reed...... organs? It may just me being a saxophonist but how does a percussion instrument use a reed?
Pianos are percussion, organs are not. Organs use compressed air and direct it through a pipe. There are two types of organs. The flue organs that have a slit in them not unlike a whistle, and reed organs which have a thin piece of metal that vibrates and produces sound when the air passes by.
OperatorZx so they’re wind instruments?
Pretty much. But because they are so different from normal wind instruments, people tend to leave them out of that category and instead just classify them as a keyboard instrument.
@@OperatorZx wait so you consider organs to be keyboard instruments, but not pianos? I get that the sound production is different, but... it's got a keyboard

Is there anything he can’t play I mean seriously?
