Going Double Dutch at the Great Dorset Steam Fair 2009

[MrVideoRater1]

Well done guys...keeping in time like that. Who needs MIDI to drive two instruments together!

[organgrinderted]

Bravo! My hat is off to you gentlemen. I have never heard to big band organs attempt a duet. I have done this with my little street organ and know how difficult this can be. Good job.

[dingdong5378]

Ha Ha, nice idea!!!

[Karlfalcon]

It's pulling my head both ways! GAAH

I love it tho. And what talent to keep them in sync!

[Mclaren1O]

It just sounds like 1 really really good organ playing in a really really echoy room lol.

[musicmachinesuk]

Great video Graham, were was De Carillon and the Gasparini on site? I was going to found then and didn't know both of then were.

A great bit of fun, after a wonderful GDSF once again......but just imagine how better it would have sounded had they played in the same key!

[112KeyGavioli]

And just what did you mean by that?

[ChristainPatriot01]

I ment that it sounded like a gavoli bioscope organ that needed its pipe work tunes,

[112KeyGavioli]

Bearing mind here we have two average sized street organs, a total of what, 400 pipes, maybe 40 reeds, something like that, playing a tune from the Netherlands. Here the organs are also in the middle of a field, rather than in a tented bioscope show. Not much like a 112 KEYLESS Gavioli in a bioscope show.

[112KeyGavioli]

I think you made that comment from a book you read possibly. It seems to be the typical sort of thing you read in books about organs. Im making a fairly good guess you've never seen a 112 Key/Keyless organ ever so you're not really in any position to pass comments.

I also seem to guess you're a friend of the famous Justin Senneff. Both of you, know what your talking about before you talk complete fiction.

[ChristainPatriot01]

as a matter of fact we are, howd you guess?

[112KeyGavioli]

Similar age, both just a bit too religious, both from America, both talk utter rubbish. And the fact you are both friends on YouTube, it gave it away.

[dacatholicbandorgan]

What does relegion and America have to do with the fact? I see you follow in my footsteps of nonsense.

[112KeyGavioli]

Justin, unfortunately I have not been blessed with the ability to believe or the will to follow a religion. I do absolutely respect others are religious, thats their own choice, but sometimes Justin, you can take religion a bit too far. It somehow is brought up in every topic. Even your YouTube names are about religion! And the American bit, you are American aren't you? Thought So!

[dacatholicbandorgan]

"Friends" that's the best you could do?

[ChristainPatriot01]

Perhaps not a 112 gavoli,but a huge sized dutch street organ that needs serious tuning.

[ChristainPatriot01]

especcally after it has been at ,dare I do say,disneyland..

[ChristainPatriot01]

Well if you ask my pal gaviolitom,[and dacatholicbandorgan] you will read the most saddest stories of mechanical organs that have been desicrated at the hands of disney corp.

A+ guys, I love it, after how much beer was this?

[leach55]

A fair amount of beer was consumed before undertaking this challenge, however, the same trick was performed on the Saturday whilst sober and they kept in perfect time with eachother, i have been told. Unfortunately, i was not there to hear that attempt. Anyway, i was hugely impressed, i have cranked both those organs and the Gasparini has to be cranked much faster to keep the same speed, so the whole thing was done purely on hearing only.

[pianolasociety]

way better than the Victory / Locomotion combo!

[112KeyGavioli]

Here Here! Doesn't take much doing!

[petermackett37]

Very impressed with the synchronised playing! Jan Kees and Louis did a great job and kept perfect time.

[StuartMulcrow]

Great video Graham, Jan Kees & Louis did a great job of synchronising the 2 organs.

It certainly was a very pleasant end to the Steam Fair. Big thanks to Rob Harris, Shane Seagrave & co for organising another superb after show party. :-)

[bietebouwer]

Ah great to hear "Kleiner Mohr" from Albert Vossen, a very nice arrangement!
