128' reloaded - Dangerous Organ III - Mighty Pipes

[azandris]

You should close the windows next time! :P Which church is this?

[FNPFAR]

0:17 <noOoooOoo

[whoshotj]

I got a kick out of that!!!

[adobermann]

I just love this vid !!!! /Andreas

[gutoruiz]

Great! haha

[JamalFunnypic]

@gwpritchrd I do something like that as well, but there's another thing I do. My church's organ has a 32' Resultant (note + 5th above), and I discovered the frequencies needed for 64' and 128' Resultants.

64' = note + major 3rd

128' = note + major 2nd

I obtain these using the 16' Bourdon, but it's a bit tough pressing two notes with the left foot if you want to play other notes with your right foot.

[PoppaSmurph67]

so it shakes the floor...

BUT IS IT THAT DANGEROUS that it has to be played a limited about of time!?!!?!?!?

[MsAndraz]

is the blowing air real or its just a fan blowing

[gwpritchrd]

Lol, the church I was playing at (St. Andrew's in Albany, NY) Had a 16' Subbass, and I would combine that with the 32' and 16' Bombarde and it sounded like the 128' stop. And it actualy shook the floor as well as the clothing I was wearing!

[engelbertschoormans]

Augsburg...

[issueagent]

AWESOME!!!

[yamahonkawazuki]

would love to hear moonlight sonata on this.

[bachaddict]

This beats /watch?v=v4ECBctIDh0 hollow!

[Blattner25]

Great! Where is this organ located?

[bachaddict]

I love how it blows its own music off the stand... Since this would cause the player to stop playing, the piece would have committed suicide in a sense!

[anb740]

Chuck Norris built this organ.

[MegaDani141]

WERE IS THIS ORGAN?????? ( maby Augsburg GERMANY)????

[RattsTyerell32]

why are the organs in the churches -.- i hate religion

[95bach]

@RattsTyerell32 because a pipe organ is the most expensive instrument and and only few people. In this case the clergy is a rich institution and they can pay that money for buy an organ. Also the organ is liturgical instrument par excellence.

[keyboardjeff]

@RattsTyerell32 I also don't like it to be in churches.

[littleasshole26]

128'?HAHAHA!!You must be joking!Why dont you jump into the pipes and someone depresses the note?ROFL!

[09WestTexas]

theaterpipe1 & all, I've been playing organs in American, Europe and even the Middle East and I've never seer or heard of a 128' stop. I think this organ played is in a chapel or church of the Carmelite Order in Augsburg, Gr. This is an improvization on Salva Regina, an anthem to Mary, and the organ stop is probably a Fr. ophichlide, 32' not 128'. The stop is wonderful and the piece and organ are marvelous. I think someone of YouTube demonstrates an 128' organ stop, sounds like a kettle drum.

[k999998]

LOVE IT!!! Where can I get the music? Awesome!!

[m0bob]

Bloody brilliant. Play it again Sam !!!

[kana86]

What is the title of this piece? is it Bach?

[95bach]

@kana86 Isn´t Bach

[godzilloid]

the organist is now deaf

[TheKeyboardSam]

yay, first: this is soo funny and second: beutiful song :)

[DonaldFranklin67]

Prior to seeing these 'Dangerous' organ videos, the only "dangerous" organ I'm familiar with, is the Atlantic City Convention Hall organ. the organ itself is not dangerous, just a certain pedal stop called "The Grand Ophicleide" which the curator of the organ, has to warn those who listen to hold their ears everytime that stop is played. BTW, that organ has 7 manuals(the upper most manual being in an almost vertical position) and 455 ranks of pipes.

[thegodofhellfire999]

F A K E!!!!!

[TheOneAndOnlyYeti]

@thegodofhellfire999

Even if it is a fake ... sounds great :-D

[pikakirabygiyweedo]

fake...its called an air vent T_T

[sirhemingfordgray]

Wow! muy divertido, saludos desde México!

[redlumlad]

Whahaha, lol

[godzilloid]

All organs should be like that.

[EtrofOnaip]

Name of Church ?

[cmoore479]

Amazing

[Supergio1974]

ciao si può avere lo spartito di quello che suoni?

Grazie

[morg942212]

AWESOME! ahah i love organs :)

[forthepeople2008]

what is the title of the music? its great! 

[Concionator]

Wow... it is great!!!

[manga12]

I doubt it blows out that much air most dont have high pressure of that sort unless it was a newer organ or perhaps a large theater organ like the midmer losh or the winnaker.

the largest actual pipe as far as that goes is the 64 foot diaphone dulzin in boardwalk hall in atlantic city nj or that one in australia that is the same size.

[jimpemberton]

@manga12

I agree. I wonder if there isn't a leak in the console that becomes particularly evident with a particular combination of stops.

[poopingeneral]

pls someone what is the name of this song!!!!!!

[spinatkuchen]

absolutely epic :D

[mmdillon1]

I love this series of videos you've posted, minibeb! But folks should realize it's not ALL fluff: I played for a wedding in a cathedral in Manhattan, and everyone thought the reason the bride's mother wouldn't speak to anyone as she stood in the lineup at the end of the service was because she was overcome with emotion... She later told me that, during the recessional that I played on the massive pipe organ, her dentures rattled so badly from the vibrations that she was afraid to open her mouth!

[topper2142]

@mmdillon1 lmao!

[sonic503789]

@mmdillon1 oh holy shit XD

[qwertypoop1000]

When was this organ built?

[Mitsugejl]

Thats what i would call full organ yes :D Who needs convertibles anyway?

[ProfRikk]

Hahahaha!!!!!!

Actually, a 128' pipe would sound inaudible.... well, you'd actually "hear" it in your bum, that is to say through the bench where you'd be sitting! :-D

Actually an organ with such a powerful wind problem, er, no, I mean wind PRESSURE!!! would be very good as a hairdryer!!! :-D

[juaniluco888]

wtf???? that is the same organ but the consul randomly changed. :S

that is amazing playing- great chourds!!!!!

[banaszkiewicz100]

ale moc!!!!!!!!!

[juaniluco888]

wow very power hym! I really enjoyed that! and btw which organ is that cause I wanna find out more bout it.

:P

[juaniluco888]

wow very power hym! I really enjoyed that! and btw which organ is that cause I wanna find out more bout it.

:P

[Cr1msonKing]

Aw :( I was hoping to see people being comically blown away.

[kegginstructure]

I do not know if a 128' pipe is in that mix but if so, it is there for the same reason that a movie theater has surround sound. "Presence" makes the music both auditory and visceral.

40 years ago, Atlantic City Music Hall had the "biggest" tag with pipes from 64' down to 1'. No other instrument had more or longer pipes. Of course, all "biggest" and "best" items become targets for someone to take a shot at surpassing them. So if that 128' pipe stop is real, I'm not really surprised.

[SalHernor]

00:36 !!!!

LOL

[JonasClark]

Very funny. Though this may or may not involve one in action (no camera mic would pick it up) there ARE 128' resultant stops out there. They're really not much to write home about, something like four or eight cycles per second. The two full-length 64' stops (Contra Trombone at Sydney Town Hall, Diaphone-Dulzian at Boardwalk Hall) aren't much, either, except in the just right combinations where they do give a nice solid foundation under everything else.

[slooter3]

iv'e heard of these cracking THICK stone walls because exesive playing, is this true?

[NNomad]

haha... just love 0:16 great vid :-)

[pszemeczke]

Totalna destrukcja Kocham te mocne brzmienie!! dziekuje za takie piesni,filmy. hyle czoła

[ThePipeorganman]

why you all know there is no 128'' pipe in the world. the biggest is a 64'' reed at the atlantic city convetion hall midmer losh organ. come on. but i have to admit that was a very power ful pedal just not 128''. Most likely a 32'' bombarg.

[cumesoftware]

LOL

[Foxxnioxx]

WHAT SONG IS THIS?!?!?!

[gondolacrescent5]

Sorry. I don't believe a pipe or electronic organ would have a legit 128' stop. There are perhaps two pipe organs in the world that have 64' stops and their deployment was highly controversial.

32' stops are useful but they're extremely expensive and take up lots of room and can be troublesome to service and maintain.

I've added two 32' stops (pipes-reeds) to existing pipe organs. There's no need to go down an extra octave from there let alone two octaves to 128' pitch. There is a limit.

[megalord299]

that stope needs to be called, "divide by zero"

[theaterpipe1]

Where can I get the music for that song? Lol, This was just wonderful!

[helloitsmelol097]

@theaterpipe1 same here! I like this song I also got another some Contata no. 29 but I won't be able to play it for a while.

[strong1235]

Cute!

[knightwolf200612]

whahahaha damn awesome!

[bennyK95]

hahahaha! Duck for cover!

[Bacstam]

What is the mane of this piece? I want to learn it. Thanks

[madcelt1]

good entrance song for royalty

[fruityfj]

Where is this? Couldn't see which organ.

Anybody know?

[topper2142]

lol his hair is flying and stuff falling over,outstanding!

[tonyalmeida80]

What piece are you playing?

[Thepianoorganist]

what did you do put fans all over the place ???? to get the effects?

[xTJProduction1000x]

correct me if im wrong but i dont think thats supposed to happen

[YoungOrganist]

i just sat with my mouth open and stopped worrying about using the 32' in church OMG who care if the plant pot smashed in church! WAAY!!!

[latribe]

Thanks so much for these videos - it made me experiment with what the sound really sounds like on the organ at Hammerwood Park - and it rattles walls and a window sounds as though it might break on bottom D. The stop is called "Self Destruct"

[theaterpipe1]

AWESOME!

[poopingeneral]

The LDS church is preparing financially to add a 95 foot bass pipe on the Tabernacle Organ, or at least that is the rumors going around the LDS church.

[tylermatthewmarz]

would they? cause that organ is kinda historical along with the building so, I don't know.

[poopingeneral]

thats what I thought to.

[Thepianoorganist]

poopingeneral, stop pitches go in 8ths so it's 8, 16, 32, 64.... where would 95 come from... unless your talking about the literal height of it ...

[poopingeneral]

I'm talking about 95 feet tall, much rumors going around of a pipe that big being installed in LDS Tabernacle Organ...

[Theyoungorganist01]

its funny but obviously FAKE there is no 128 foot pipes the largest organ pipe is a 64ft pipe in the Atlanta City Convention Hall the only way organs can get 128 stops is when the sound is digital

[449GO]

:p and through a resultant, like atlantic city!

[timpaws]

In the late 1960's a 128' rank was intended for the instrument in Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral (in an attempt to eclipse the previously enormous one up the road in the Anglican Cathedral). Unfortunately the proposal did not gain approval from the Civil Aviation Authority on several grounds. A sad day for vibrationists among us.

[glenn3rd2004]

Impressive. Gregg Bailey claims to have made a 64' PVC subcontrabass clarinet which can play down to the 128' C (CCCCC, C-2, or 4.09 Hz) of this organ. Anyway, although most people can't hear (but can feel!) a 4-Hz note, the presence of these low notes can enhance the sounds of orchestras, organs, ensembles, pianos, and bands and can give each a 'fuller presence'. Giant musical instruments capable of playing down to at least the hypercontrabass octave (8-16Hz) are planned in the near future.

[ChrissysVideokids]

Der Hammer das Video, gute Idee.......

[BeFrSc]

The other videos is an Improvisation on Salve Regina on July 4th which happens every year, this piece, I do not know, but I think it is a german hymn, I shall ask.

[advisorC101]

Thank you. I appreciate it.

[advisorC101]

I see this organ has a "roller sweller" pedal.

[Ntalikeris666]

Hehe, the organ i play in the concert hall has a roller crescendo pedal.

[chrischi19]

Cool, it sounds very nice!

What piece of music is this?

[BradipoNinja]

I WANT ONE at HOME

so neighbours must hear me :-D

[Spiritombkid]

Lol so would I. Great Idea ;)

[bassoon334]

CCCCCOOOOOOOOOLLLLLL

[OrganistGreg]

HEHEH!  Love this series x

[turtleFLxanth]

I understand the objections to resultant stops (what people are calling acoustic), but sometimes you just don't have the room for the real thing.

[firenmage]

I know! Many pipe organs have 64' stops but they are resultant, not real..there are only two real 64' stops in the world, as most of you know..one in Atlantic City and one in Sydney Town Hall. This organ doesnt have a 128' stop [not even resultant] but it sounds like it has some outstanding 32' reeds or maybe a resultant 64'... but still i love the music!!

[y11971alex]

I think Wochester Cathedral has a real 64' too.

[advisorC101]

No, there are only two organs on earth that has a full length 64 rank.

Any other stop is merely an imitation.

[firenmage]

I looked this place up...the organ in this video is in the Church of St. Ulrich, which is in Augsburg, Germany. It definitely doesnt have a real 128' stop [but it would be cool!] but i can easily say that this is one of the three best organs i have heard..the other two are the wanamaker organ and the organ at albi cathedral..but this is an amazing sound, i wish i could so and play that organ..

[firenmage]

is that the name?? wow i realy like it..lol i love how he presses that "tutti" button and all the stops pull out...but seriously you have to be there in real life to hear the full effect. it is an amazzzzing sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Octavkoppel1]

immer die gleiche Orgel...

[turtleFLxanth]

ja, daB weiB ich, und nie koennen wir uns 128' hoeren!

[saxopilot90]

Can someone please tell me the name/composer of that piece!?!?

[slooter3]

ya no kidding

[saxopilot90]

Haha. dude that's pretty sick!

[slooter3]

i must hear more of this organ. is this a specific song or was it just a freehander song

[slooter3]

What gives the air to all of these pipes

and how much must go through the biggest one for it to make its sound

[Karlfalcon]

Most pipe organs are supplied by several large electric blowers, often in the basement under the organ.

Ranks of pipes are often separated by the amount of wind pressure to operate them. Some of the loudest pipes in the world operate on 100 inches of pressure. That's the same amount of pressure needed to lift a column of water 100 inches tall.

[slooter3]

is that alit of psi?

[Karlfalcon]

Actually no. 1PSI equals just less than 28 inches of water. But then again, try using your lungs to raise the same 100 inch column (and hold it there indefinitely).

But the real kicker isn't even the pressure, it's the volume of air moving through the organ. The largest organs require upwards of 90,000 cubic feet per minute.

[slooter3]

geeeeeeez thats pretty friggen cool

[Kynitt]

lol, you'd hit a note and the book would flip the page for you

[owmyanus]

HAHA! That sounded awesome!

I love how everything starts blowing around. LOL

Great video.

[slooter3]

can we hear some more of this deep piched, loud pipe organ music-cause its a cool sound

[slooter3]

hold em all down, lol

what would really hapen anyway?

plz reply

[Ntalikeris666]

Absolutely nothing. Maybe the floor might have bben ratteling a bit

[slooter3]

ok lol i thought it would make some thinks raddle and mabye loosen some boards from the roof lol

[friedrichsacher]

thats not tha impossible. here in germany they installed a new huge organ in a church but not really thinking about the power that organ has. So the first time the organist plays it, some parts of the wall outside are falling off!!

[Tricyklist]

Ignorance truly is bliss on You Tube! The huge pipes beyond 32 feet are supposed to be silent! When played simultaneously with the audible pipes they produce extremely variable vibrato, tremolo and beating effects. These valuable effects can be clearly heard on CDs of organ music. Or when your are present in the same building as the organ during a recital. Most You Tube videos have very poor bass so you'll miss the most interesting effects of the biggest pipes even with a huge subwoofer.

[NederlandZingt]

hmmm, the only problem is, that there is no 128'stop in the world and it cannot be heared by humans

[lordmerlin1]

i think there is one in germany actually

[polsterj]

No, here in germany theres no 64' and also no 128'

[slooter3]

what are you guys talking about?

[tequilaboy12345]

we do have 64's in germany... Kölner Dom, Altenberger Dom, Paderborner Dom etc... just not in full length, but stopped! They have cool names though... "Donner" for example! :)

[polsterj]

And we also don't have stopped 64' in Germany. The only real working 64' is in Sydney, Town Hall, and theres also a real 64' at the AC organ. The 64' in Köln, Altenberg... are just acoustic. For me acoustic stops are no real stops.

[tequilaboy12345]

Of course you're right - my bad! Of course they are acoustic... yeah, acoustics aren't that great - don't like them that much either... Sorry again!

[polsterj]

Yes, I don't like acoustic stops, too. I can realize at once that they are not real. Also acoustic 32' make no sende to me, I mean, a wooden, stopped 32' is not that expensive compared to an acoustic one!

[gutoruiz]

REX INSTRUMENTORUM!!! =]

[RobtheKappelmeister]

That's funny. I sometimes wonder if that has actually happened.lololol hahahah!!!!!!!

[farmervern]

I love your videos!! GREAT!! 128' awesome!!

[y11971alex]

Excellent.

It is certainly a problem-if you use that stop once too often, the church might collapse!

A 128' stop is not nessecary, a simple real or resultant 64' would do the job properly.

[javajo46]

hahahaha these r soo funny, i just watched the 128' earthquake stop hehe

[Stevenup7004]

Wow =]

[MrRandomPerson]

where is this organ? i want to play it!!

[etbuk]

This organ is in Augsburg, near Munchen!

[simonegnt91]

Bellissimo!!!

[ChalieChaplin]

Are you playing in this video?

[ChalieChaplin]

Great video!!! Haha!

[FlySkyHigh22]

I want to play on that organ! omg!

[KoksderDrache]

Der heilige Ulrich wird auch angerufen bei Tobsucht und Tollwut... vielleicht solltet Ihr es a mal bei der tobenden Orgel ausprobiern. Mei so a Schmarrn ;-))))))

[wskfan]

Ein bisschen kurz Dein Video, Editor...

[thafff]

geil :D

[pulcinopiripi]

ma ci prendete per il c**o?

[augsburgnik]

Minibus, ist echt abartig geworden!! RESPEKT!!! =)

[Orgelduedler]

Auf jedenfall irgendne Orgel aus der Fugger Zeit. Jetzt interessierts mich eben auch noch, obs die St. Anna oder St. Ulrich und Afra Kirche ist.

[DerBalbulus]

Nach jedem tutti muss die Kirche renoviert werden! Kein Wunder bei dem Bass... ;-]

[l000kin]

Wirklich super! Dein organistisch Humor ist sehr witzig :-). Apropos: warum ist dein video "Improvisation St. Ulrich" noch nicht erreichbar -- es ist schade...

[EusebiiMaiMinque]

Wer ist denn der begabte Orgel-Virtuose? Habe erst kürzlich auf dieser Orgel gespielt, die Gewalt der Pfeifen (128') ist wirklich umwerfend!!!

[GiovaMANIA]

Warum musste ich arbeiten??? NEEEIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNN!!!!!

Unfassbares Video!

Saluti, Giovanni

[CindyBradyTooh]

*AWESOME*! :D
