The physics of the Pipe Organ

[DivaLaney]

"Pen" name. And, that would be an Oratorio, not Ontario. ;)

[Rick1885]

Stand back from the mic man it screwed up one of my speakers

[gema2903]

Love your video!



[4iwilllive]

A PIPE ORGAN CAN HAVE THOUSANDS OF PIPES

[keyboardjeff]

Very nice animation. What program did you use? I'd like to know.

[Killer67312]

Cool animations!

[phatphuck1792]

Does anyone know the name of the piece being played????

[VonDuesenberg]

good job!

[2cvnutter]

dam i like the video, but would like to know the precise name of the intro music.

[kjsimonUSMC]

great why dont you try hand animating them like i did

[ciaoo111]

what's the name of the song?

[javajo46]

i liked the beginning, the facade was beautiful...was it modeled after a particular organ or did u come p with it yourself? b/c i wld love to see an organ that beautiful!!

awesome vid!! =]

[DecayingChild101]

Who's the composer?

[Askelairlines747]

i think Dietrich Buxtehude or

Johann Sebastian Bach

[redbear353]

Excellent! When can we see the rest of the video?

[Reptarkid]

GREAT VIDEO

[ArieVisker]

What is the name of this piece of music. And composer.

[bastiorgel]

Whats the name of the small organ which talking?

[sovereign254]

He said something along the lines of "Tutti Grand Jeu *something* Pausanne V (fifth)", I believe.

[bastiorgel]

Oh, thanks!

[sinverluis]

Muy lindo, pero...muy corto. Gracias

This is a very good introduction indeed, to the workings of the Pipe Organ. Many lay people will have no idea of the intricacy of these beautiful instruments, until viewing your excellent video. Good work!!

[rohrgedackt8]

Nicely done! The facade you designed is very realistic; not at all contrived. I would offer one constructive point of correction. The reservoirs keep air pressure constant; it does not change. It would move down when pipes are sounding. When no notes are playing, it'll reinflate. It never "depressurizes" based on pipe size, but keeps the air in the chests constant. Otherwise, you'd get undulating sound. Still, you're very correct on the rest! Great Job!!

[minckminck]

excellent video! instructive + fun. Keep up the good work!

[oviwolf]

Wow! Good animation! I enjoyed your video!

[clydesight]

Very nice animation and explanation of how an organ basically works. Thanks!

[CindyBradyTooh]

Very informative! Thanks! :D

~Cindy! :)

..

[xachxiv]

That was very informational. I learned something today!

[Phacias]

Make longer ones!

[upndowntubeloader]

very nice and very interesting

[tyuru2]

cool

[sondasam]

Excellent video! You should definitely complete it:)

[djv14]

good job. Please, don't let it unfinished. This could be a complete tutorial for the organ's physics .

[NavesRegg]

What a cute little guy! Where did you get the design for that organ. The big one that is.

[cattfarts]

really good,cute talking organ!hillarious!

[simonwestmancoat]

Really nice - I used to know a David Willington at Bradford Gramar School - surely not one and the same!?

[willington]

Unfortunately not, I use Willington as a Pin name

[ragtimebill]

Very nicely done!

[octave4]

It is weight on the top of a reservoir that contols the pressure in the wind system.

Modern organs use pouches, controled by chest magnets that are controlled by the keys. A pitman action turns the stops on and off. The chest you described in from the tracker era and have been replaced by the modern Electro-Pneumatic chest.

Nice work, your animation is well done. and, with a little more detail is quite educational.

[6en1]

Great job, excellent

[sovereign254]

Very good movie, I liked it.

[fnersch]

Your video is really good. A clear explanation with great graphics. I have built several pipe organs myself so do appreciate the innerworkings of such a device. You might do a video on stops and registers, etc.

[Organgrinder010]

Great stuff!

[wflyon]

Excellent work. I predict a bright future for you. Congratulations.

Bill

[willington]

Thank You

[iceage2991]

very well done too btw =]

[willington]

Thank you, it was for Scientific visualization.

[iceage2991]

what event was this for?

[Uraia]

Great! what is the piece played at the beginning?

[willington]

it has been a while since I made the file, i think it's a Christmas Ontario that was attributed to bach

[farmall1938]

Nice animation, but your description of the resevoirs is incorrect. They are there to maintain a set pressure....to regulate. When a large draw is placed on the blower, the resevoirs colapse, adding their air to the trunk to take up the "slack" from the blower, and when fewer pipes are played, the resevoirs expand and hold air for the next quick/large draw, and when fully expanded, most close off the supply from the fan.

[HumbertoMarquez]

Your animation liked me very much, it was a short but nice explanation about the physics inside the organ.

[fuzzyw1234]

Excellent presentation !

[AshokanStrings]

now u should make one on the violin!

[joenwayne]

Good basic info - Pipe Organ 101 for the novice. Thanks for sharing your project.

[PETfilm]

hey, nice! I really liked this one! Even if there is a lot more to tell about the organ (for example the keyboard and tracker action, the stops etc.) I think this is a nice way to explain how the King of instruments works. If I were to make an encyclopedia of organs, I would for sure hire you to make animations of all the cool stuff inside the organ! - but I'd have to ask you to use true music, not midi... ;)

[willington]

Believe Me, I would also write an encyclopedia. But for its purpouse, " to explain the absolute BASICS of the pipe organ for those who i'll call the unenlightened Ha ha.." I thought it did well. I fought tooth and nail with my tech teacher " the one who commisioned it" to get it "right" he wanated it simple. Needless to say he won. :<

[PETfilm]

well, at least you've shown us how it can be done and what potential animated graphics have, so keep up the good work!
