New Pipe organ video

[Zumipali2]

My beloved Work!

Its neat to see how the organ is made, but there is soo much more, the enginering of the materials is another factor, and they did not say it but there are wood pipes used also, not just the diapasons which are the main part of most organs they are distinct to the organ , as opposed to woodwinds, horns, and yes even percussion, and string sets if its a synphonic or theater organ, like the two largest ones happen to be, in theaters and stadiums. and they dont talk about rigging the organ either.

“O Filii et Filiae” by the French composer Felix-Alexandre Guilmant - that is the name of the song!!

[IamLightsaber]

I would like to find out what the name of a song is and/ or just who the composer is. I really like it and I like it and I would like to know what it is.

Sarder ????

Doesn't he mean solder?

The word has the letter L in it.

It should be pronounced correctly.

[gondolacrescent5]

In my part of the world the "L" in solder is silent and is pronounced the same as the beginning of the word "sodomy".

(I have no idea what that word means btw, I picked it at random from a dictionary).

I "solder" organ pipes frequently in the course of my work. I promise you, in N.A. at least, the "L" is silent in solder, though I have no idea why.

[hatstalker]

@mattnbin also what the hell is tin sarder?

last time I checked solder was tin/lead alloy.

[nevermind1534]

@hatstalker lead-free solder is normally tin. I'm assuming that it works better for their purposes. For many other things, it's not optimal, though, even though it's required in California and the EU for electronics, unless the manufacturer has a special exemption.

[ccoraxfan]

@mattnbin Solder is pronounced like "sodder". Do you pronounce the K in know and knife too? How about the gh in though and bough? English pronunciation became mostly independent of English spelling centuries ago. And yes, I'm a pedant.

[Bucky41]

Does anyone know what piece the organist is playing?

[IamLightsaber]

@Bucky41 I don't know either, if you find out please let me know with a post back. Thank you.

[organman360]

I want to play when I am older.

[Zylstra555]

@organman360 Get started as early as you can.

[passacaglia28]

I love "How It's Made" but man they really blew through the pipe organ making process in minutes! Oh well. I am really pleased H.I.M fit this into its slot.

[carlsjoseph13]

i want a personal pipe organ!!! hahaha

[mortson978]

i love mig welding, but, that has almost nothing to do with organ building.

[churchwhistles]

I think they got two different "How It's Made" videos stuck together accidentally!

[mortson978]

i know, i was just being a joker.

[sinverluis]

Hi, and thanks for the video. Do you know who is the builder ?

Thanks,

Luis, Manizales, Colombia

It's Casavant.

[gondolacrescent5]

It is Casavant or parts of it. I didn't recognize it until I saw a stamping on one of the pouchboards which is a hallmark of their work.

"The tin is for brightness and the lead for warmth" !! If only it were that simple. If some trace silver were added to the alloy would that impart a "rich" sound? I now know that anything watched on that show should be done with a lump of salt. An organ starts off as a facade drawing? Only on rare occasions and usually accompanied with a cheque from a patron.

[clydesight]

I watch this show all the time, and just the other day was wondering if they'd ever do an episode on the pipe organ! And you have posted this to show, they have! Thanks!

[Organgrinder010]

Much better! Thank you! =)
