I didn't mean the hymn.. I meant what came after it. What is the name of the improvisation? I listened to claudia wassner's improvisation -dangerous organ and it didn't sound like this so i'm confused.
however a 128ft pipe would be pointless to build, since it could not be heard by a human ear. The frequenzy would be 4hz while we can only hear 20-20000Hz. (if we are healthy and not older than 20)
Plus, digital recordings cannot pick up the 128' register, and only the 2nd harmonic which is around the 32 register.. Would love for someone to make one. Even it they only make one 128' CCCC stop, might ruin some foundations, but the sheer awesomeness of it.
I would agree with the 32' Ophikleide...128', I don't think so. Also, this is a Carmelite priory church in Augsburg, GR, the friars/monks are singing the Salve Regina (Hail, Holy Queen) with improv after. However, there could possibly be a 128' pipe, but it would speak so slowely it would muddle any other stops played with it. You can hear a 128' (simulated) on the Internet, see for yourself. But this video has such a grand sound, love listening to it, my kind of organ and church. Enjoy!
Nice choir and organ together. However, let’s not exaggerate! Thou shalt not tell falsehoods.If this organ had a real 128' rank that would be historic. It does not---it has 32' and I am not so sure that these are real but more like a piece of glass posing as a real million dollar diamond(s). What you hearing are 32 foot pedal ranks ---probally a Posaune 32 or Bombarde 32 et al
There are few cathedrals or other churches in Europe, let alone the rest of the world, that have ceilings high enough to accomodate a pedal rank of 128 let alone the huge wind demand it would require and the diameter of the pipe would be 26.85 feet at lowest and as high as 32’ feet more
Of course, it could lie horizonally in a rack but few churches or cathedrals have this sort of length and it would look ugly. 128' sounds speak at 4 hz and such a rank would cost upwards of 20k if made of 75% tin and 25% lead.
You could have a nice smaller organ for the cost of this one rank. Now if you really want to go lower to 2hz---that would require a lowest pedal C of 356' and the lowest possible sounding at 1 hz you would need a pedal C pipe of 512' or close to 1/8th of a mile long and would cost more than the rest of the Organ alone. Humans cannot hear this low--but if you are an elephant or dolphin you can and hear these low sound waves hundreds of miles away.
@ludwig123456789 It is technically possible for humans to hear 1hz if the amplitude is high enough. You wouldn't be able to tell pitch, you would just hear a pulse once a second. Humans aren't supposed to be able to hear below 20hz, but 64' stops are at 8hz. It would be very similar to that.
Remember your physics, people. The larger the pipe, ALONG with it's placement (in the structure housing the instrument) the sympathetic frequencies inherent to materials comprising the structure, i.e. stone, wood, various concretes, metal framing, density of these materials, density, thickness, acoustic properties of the space in which the pipe voices are reverberating, AND the atmospheric pressure, humidity level, altitude AND the physiology governing the audible wavelength of the human ear.
@porz83 Actually the biggest is a 72 ft. if im correct, and you are right you wouldn't hear it it would about pop your eardrums though because of the huge amount of air pressure released when its played. And the vibrations from it would be massive!!!!

It is called "Salve Regina". There are several versions of it, this one was composed by Henri Dumont. You can also search for "Salve Regina @ Notre-Dame de Paris" and "Salve Regina" from User "composerpan" here at youtube.
It is Fake. How shoult a 41m high Pipe stand in such a small church. Think about this: the Cathedral in Cologne is about 45m high and has only a open 32feet-Principal in the front. This stop is about 10meters high.
This small Organ and a 128feet-Stop? If this is real, I eat a brush.
It is not July 4 but July 16 the Feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. This is a Carmelite Church in Augsburg, GR. And there is no 128' pedal stop, it's a 32' and the organ you are hearing is the one in the church. However, there is a 64' gravesmia but this church done not have one. But it's fun to pretand.

Lol. I guess on sundays it serves as one anyway ;p
One thing I've always liked about religion, specifically the Jesus kind, is that it has gave us the wonderful joy of the pipe organ. If I ever went to a church again, it would be because I wanted to listen to the organ. I think if religion reduced the number of myths it had, and just plain bullshit, I'd have more respect for it. But no matter, I will always love the pipe organ, and I will always be moved by it's glorious and beautiful sound.
Doesn't matter how big is the pipe, this is very nice performance of latin gregorian chant hymn "Salve regina" followed by organ improvisation of the tune
Also, a frequency of 4 hz has no use other than just showing people it exists; it has too low a frequency to contribute much to the music. Besides, other than the bellows being gigantic, the noise would be drowned out by the higher frequency pipes
This joke is quite amusing, and besides the humor, is basically all meaningless. The church is St. Stephan's Cathedral, Passau and besdides, the church nave is only around 30 metres at most, it would not be able to accomodate a 41 m pipe. Also, it would not be feasible to build it in a church as extended use of bass pipes causes structural damage, which would be unwanted in a church.
What is the spectrum of audible frequencies for the human ear? The lowest is around 20Hz.
Now, a 32' bottom C produces a sound around 16Hz, and a 64' 8Hz.
The only way you would be able to hear a hypothetical 128' (4Hz) is through your arse... i mean, the vibrations of the bench you'd be sitting on, given that the (hypothetical) 128' pipe can be powerful enough.
Basically all this is 128' business is none other than a wind-up! :-D
It's not a true 128 foot stop or pipe.The largest organ pipes are 64 feet and there are only 2 organs that large. Some organs may have a 128 foot sound, but it's created by a false harmonic. The organ I play most often has a 16 foot pipe, but a 32 foot stop. I believe it plays a perfect 5th creating the impression of a lower note than you are actually playing. What an organ with a 64 foot pipe does to create a 128 foot sound is take the 64 and a 42 and 2/3 pipe and mix them.
I've seen that organ...it has one 64 foot stop, but only has 32 foot pipes. It's the largest operational organ in the world, but only the second largest organ in the world. The largest organ is the Boardwalk Hall Auditorium organ, however it is in relatively poor shape. It has a true 64 foot pipe. The only other organ with a 64 foot pipe is in the Sydney Town Hall's Centenary Hall.
A) this is youtube. B) it's a recording. If you hear this in person you are going to crap your pants a little.
And you can hear the 4 hz (or whatever that may be). Please check out "suboscillation" and then come back and listen. You may not hear four cycles per second exactly, because some of the initial overtone series will be contributing to the suboscillation as well before the reach the frequencies commonly detectable by the human ear.
overtones and suboscillation brah. Also, it's gonna sound a whole lot different and overwhelming when you're standing near it and it's so loud your bowels liquefy.
for a pipe that massive to get all the air required, the windchest would have to be mammoth to not only power the pipe, but also the rest of the organ. there is no possible way that a pipe can be that big and still be functional. entertaining nonetheless.
Do you people really think this is for real?! There is no such thing as a 128' stop! What you're hearing here is a powerful 32' reed in its lowest octave. There are is only 1 organ in the world with a full length 64' (in Sidney), and only a handful of organs with a stopped 64' (a 32' length pipe covered up so that the air has to travel twice the distance to get out)
Im giving this a 5/5 rating, Enjoyed the movie, the playing and such. I do recall from reading on a website that there was a 512' "Subgrossuntersatzregalbass" (all one word) that once was in existence. Working for an organ builder several years ago, discussion of making stops of this caliber would most definitely be a digital must, but seeing something made of pipes would be excellent. (You just can't create the sound of an organ in digital, accurately) The cut ups would be enormous!!
The man standing on the languid has me a bit upset. He's lowering it with his weight and possibly causing quick speech. He's also in mortal danger of slipping through a nick, passing through the foot and toe and getting trapped in the 9 foot diameter flexhaust tube from the pipes' offset chest/blower/regulator. But there's likely other missing organ voicers down there-he wouldn't be lonely and they'd have plenty to argue about.....
@tubamagna16 The 512' 'Subgrossuntersatzregalbass' stop would have reproduced a fundamental as low as 0.97 Hz. A 256' stop would have reached about 1.94 Hz and a 128' stop would have reached 3.87 Hz. Although such frequencies are subsonic (inaudible to most human ears), they would have added some 'oomph' to musical pieces utilizing low notes. It would take very large, expensive subwoofers (such as the Wilson Audio XS series) to reproduce such low frequencies.
Pipe builders often "telescope" metal resonators so there's no need to solder them. They have to be built accordingly and it greatly simplifies what could otherwise be a difficult installation.
Very interesting! Gregg Bailey claims to have built a 64' PVC subcontrabass clarinet which he says can play down to the 128' C (CCCCC or C-2 or 4.09 Hz) played on this organ. Even though most people can't hear (but can feel!) a 3.9-Hz note, the presence of such notes can enhance the range of orchestras, organs, pianos, ensembles and bands and can give each a 'fuller presence'. By the way, is a 256' stop possible?
@firenmage Same here but I havn't heard about any real 128' pipes ever and I doubt you can tell at least the photo with the guy in the pipe is just photo edited.
@helloitsmelol097 To hide how big that pipe would have to be, you would have to have a 64 foot deep basement.... Otherwise, you need a 128 foot tall church XD.
Ok nevermind..i looked it up and now im sure its in the Church of St. Ulrich and St. Afra, in Germany....those giant pipes are totally fake [and the guy inside looks like Bill Gates] but either way it was a cool video!! Awesome piece by the way..I MUST HEAR MORE!!!!!!!!!! If its already been said, i apologize, but can someone tell me the name of this piece?? Love all of these 128' stop videos!!
3.9 Hz is what the 128' stop reaches. My stereo or my ears are not delivering that to my brain. Think you'd just have to be there, or wangle an invite to someone who has a super subwoofer sound system with this organ on a CD.
Is this organ an actual 128' pedal organ stop or is it a 32' or a series of 32' pedal organ stops? To me I do not think that it is possible to have a 128' pedal organ stop. The most I have heard is a 64' Trombone pedal organ stop and a 64' Diapason pedal organ stop.
Not quite as climactic as the other vid but I laughed my ass off at the guy "inside" the pipe! Hey, this "blogson" guy is a regular Einstein, huh? I mean, gee, you mean this isn't really 128' stop? Noooo....
A 128 foot stop would not be recordable by any equipment made today as it is below the recording range. It would not be perceptible to human hearing either for the same reason. However, the harmonics would be. It would also be as tall as a 10 story building unless the pipes were half length. A good bombarde at 32 or even 16 foot can deliver plenty of kick with much greater practicality.
If this organ actually has a 128' stop it take special sound reproduction equipment to hear the lower frequencies, and it is very unlikely that You Tube's techniques could transmit them or that they are even audible. As we hear it, the pedal's lower register sounds more like it could be a 32' stop. And only on July 4th and in Germany? It all "sounds" suspicious!
Having only heard one organ with 64 foot pipes being used, I thought it was ridiculous, just a low rumble that shook the ground more than anything. 128? How absurd...
Die Improvisation ist aber echt net von schlechten Eltern!! Wurde die in St. Ulrich gespielt?? War schon des öfteren da, aber nie oben auf der Impore. Sieht man der Orgel gar nicht an, das sie 4 Manuale hat und 32`Register!
Das Beste ist aber die Kommentare hier von einigen! :-)
I agree with a majority of the other comments here. This video is a crock! I would wager, that the floor of this auditorium is a hard surface of some kind (likely stone) and that the large bass sound is a 32' reed. I would suggest also that the person who posted this video and titled it as such is not that familiar with pipe organs, respectively.
Well it is a 32' reed actually Subass32, but only half-length I think, and very effective it is too. As for the folks who posted this, well they are closely connected to this church in Augsburg, and they are certainly knowledgeable about organs, it's just you see a little joke! Get it?
Anyone who comments from here on should read all the previous comments posted. This is way too out of practical use. As previously posted, the frequency of 128' stop pipes will not be heard by the human ear. Secondly, it is so unmusical and where on earth would you find organ music that asks for a 128' stop?? I have seen a video of the 128' experiment and it sounds very unpractical. Even 64' stops is taking it too far. If you have really decent 32' stops, that's all you need! Believe me!
Another few things to think about: Compare some organs and their pipework. Most of the time there will be a certain relationship between the actual size of the organ (pipes, ranks, etc.) and the size of the organ case/facade. Secondly, every organ that has a 32' stop has 16'. If this organ is to have a 128' stop, it will need to have 64' and 32' as well! You can't play such a low stop on its own. Where, in this video, do you see enough space where all those pipes would be? This video is fake.
This is aubsurd.I cannot see a single reason why can this organ not have a 128' stop. the 32' trombone in the atlantic convention hall is installed horizontally, so can this be. Music is not to be confined to the fellings of the ear. We, listen with our hearts, the ear is only a transmitter of the true spirit of the piece. further more, the world moves forwards, this implies that this novalty of 128' stop is only a extention of this idea. this vedio may be false, but it will come true.
Yes, the 128 foot sound is a joke, one that I've played on my friends one too many times. 4 Hz sounds about right to me, and yes, it is WAY below the normal range of hearing. I won't say one way or another about it being a demolition tool though...
Oh dear oh dear, our German friends in Augsburg must find it a scream to listen to all these silly Anglo-American comments here. It's a joke, lighten up, go and have a beer, preferably a German one!
Yeah thinking about it, the final frequency would be about 4h/z, this is pointless, it would knock the place down, the only way you might do it is to have it stopped, and multiple throats, say evry 32ft? what do you think? lol
the trouble with church organ buffs is you take yourselves far to seriously! Use your brain, 128ft would mean down to around a Hz frequency we caouldn't hear, however it might just be useful as a demolition tool to crack concrete!
even if there was such thing as an 128stop you wouldn't be able to blow enough air throght it? not even a wind tunnel fan could blow enough air for a 128stop
The ENTIRE point of a pipe organ is to be HEARD, not FELT. And the entire point of my rant was that a 128' stop would sound like crap, that is, if it would sound at all; the fact that the 64' stop sounds like crap was completely arbitrary. I stand by my points.
I mean... 64ft is already near to nonsense.. but 128ft has never been built. @WILLIAMRH54 The organ, which is shown in the video is in Augsburg but it is just a faked image he used :DBut - you nearly got me with this idea.. I really believed in that for a few minutes ;)
I'm taking this video seriously! Yes - I'm adding a "Self-Destruct" button to the Hammerwood Park organ for performance by Hugh Potton. It makes the 32ft sound both at 64ft and 128ft and the result is truly terrifying!
Thanks so much for posting this video! Makes organ playing real fun!
Haha, love the guy inside the pipe

What an organ with a 64 foot pipe does to create a 128 foot sound is take the 64 and a 42 and 2/3 pipe and mix them.

Do you think the organ in the Macy's in Philly would have a 128 foot stop? It's supposedly the largest organ in the world.
DeltaPhi79 1 year ago
I've seen that organ...it has one 64 foot stop, but only has 32 foot pipes. It's the largest operational organ in the world, but only the second largest organ in the world. The largest organ is the Boardwalk Hall Auditorium organ, however it is in relatively poor shape. It has a true 64 foot pipe. The only other organ with a 64 foot pipe is in the Sydney Town Hall's Centenary Hall.

A) this is youtube. B) it's a recording. If you hear this in person you are going to crap your pants a little.
And you can hear the 4 hz (or whatever that may be). Please check out "suboscillation" and then come back and listen. You may not hear four cycles per second exactly, because some of the initial overtone series will be contributing to the suboscillation as well before the reach the frequencies commonly detectable by the human ear.

for a pipe that massive to get all the air required, the windchest would have to be mammoth to not only power the pipe, but also the rest of the organ. there is no possible way that a pipe can be that big and still be functional. entertaining nonetheless.
musicmaniac192 2 years ago
Do you people really think this is for real?! There is no such thing as a 128' stop! What you're hearing here is a powerful 32' reed in its lowest octave. There are is only 1 organ in the world with a full length 64' (in Sidney), and only a handful of organs with a stopped 64' (a 32' length pipe covered up so that the air has to travel twice the distance to get out)

tonyalmeida80 2 years ago
Im giving this a 5/5 rating, Enjoyed the movie, the playing and such. I do recall from reading on a website that there was a 512' "Subgrossuntersatzregalbass" (all one word) that once was in existence. Working for an organ builder several years ago, discussion of making stops of this caliber would most definitely be a digital must, but seeing something made of pipes would be excellent. (You just can't create the sound of an organ in digital, accurately) The cut ups would be enormous!!

The man standing on the languid has me a bit upset. He's lowering it with his weight and possibly causing quick speech. He's also in mortal danger of slipping through a nick, passing through the foot and toe and getting trapped in the 9 foot diameter flexhaust tube from the pipes' offset chest/blower/regulator. But there's likely other missing organ voicers down there-he wouldn't be lonely and they'd have plenty to argue about.....
gondolacrescent5 2 years ago
@tubamagna16 The 512' 'Subgrossuntersatzregalbass' stop would have reproduced a fundamental as low as 0.97 Hz. A 256' stop would have reached about 1.94 Hz and a 128' stop would have reached 3.87 Hz. Although such frequencies are subsonic (inaudible to most human ears), they would have added some 'oomph' to musical pieces utilizing low notes. It would take very large, expensive subwoofers (such as the Wilson Audio XS series) to reproduce such low frequencies.

Pipe builders often "telescope" metal resonators so there's no need to solder them. They have to be built accordingly and it greatly simplifies what could otherwise be a difficult installation.

Very interesting! Gregg Bailey claims to have built a 64' PVC subcontrabass clarinet which he says can play down to the 128' C (CCCCC or C-2 or 4.09 Hz) played on this organ. Even though most people can't hear (but can feel!) a 3.9-Hz note, the presence of such notes can enhance the range of orchestras, organs, pianos, ensembles and bands and can give each a 'fuller presence'. By the way, is a 256' stop possible?

31 Hz is bottom for the 16' register.
15.5 Hz for the 32'.
7.8 Hz for the 64'.
3.9 Hz is what the 128' stop reaches. My stereo or my ears are not delivering that to my brain. Think you'd just have to be there, or wangle an invite to someone who has a super subwoofer sound system with this organ on a CD.

Is this organ an actual 128' pedal organ stop or is it a 32' or a series of 32' pedal organ stops? To me I do not think that it is possible to have a 128' pedal organ stop. The most I have heard is a 64' Trombone pedal organ stop and a 64' Diapason pedal organ stop.

flyurway 2 years ago
A 128 foot stop would not be recordable by any equipment made today as it is below the recording range. It would not be perceptible to human hearing either for the same reason. However, the harmonics would be. It would also be as tall as a 10 story building unless the pipes were half length. A good bombarde at 32 or even 16 foot can deliver plenty of kick with much greater practicality.

If this organ actually has a 128' stop it take special sound reproduction equipment to hear the lower frequencies, and it is very unlikely that You Tube's techniques could transmit them or that they are even audible. As we hear it, the pedal's lower register sounds more like it could be a 32' stop. And only on July 4th and in Germany? It all "sounds" suspicious!

I agree with a majority of the other comments here. This video is a crock! I would wager, that the floor of this auditorium is a hard surface of some kind (likely stone) and that the large bass sound is a 32' reed. I would suggest also that the person who posted this video and titled it as such is not that familiar with pipe organs, respectively.
Subass32 3 years ago
Well it is a 32' reed actually Subass32, but only half-length I think, and very effective it is too. As for the folks who posted this, well they are closely connected to this church in Augsburg, and they are certainly knowledgeable about organs, it's just you see a little joke! Get it?
ds1868 3 years ago
Anyone who comments from here on should read all the previous comments posted. This is way too out of practical use. As previously posted, the frequency of 128' stop pipes will not be heard by the human ear. Secondly, it is so unmusical and where on earth would you find organ music that asks for a 128' stop?? I have seen a video of the 128' experiment and it sounds very unpractical. Even 64' stops is taking it too far. If you have really decent 32' stops, that's all you need! Believe me!
wavejaco 3 years ago
Another few things to think about: Compare some organs and their pipework. Most of the time there will be a certain relationship between the actual size of the organ (pipes, ranks, etc.) and the size of the organ case/facade. Secondly, every organ that has a 32' stop has 16'. If this organ is to have a 128' stop, it will need to have 64' and 32' as well! You can't play such a low stop on its own. Where, in this video, do you see enough space where all those pipes would be? This video is fake.
wavejaco 3 years ago
This is aubsurd.I cannot see a single reason why can this organ not have a 128' stop. the 32' trombone in the atlantic convention hall is installed horizontally, so can this be. Music is not to be confined to the fellings of the ear. We, listen with our hearts, the ear is only a transmitter of the true spirit of the piece. further more, the world moves forwards, this implies that this novalty of 128' stop is only a extention of this idea. this vedio may be false, but it will come true.
