The largest organ in South-America

[64ftContraBombarde]

Is it just me, or do Tomburini organs always seem to be out of tune?

[ccoraxfan]

It matters not how many or how loud the pipes are in the organ, the loudest one is always the one that's out of tune!

[emersonrsantos]

@eclgall Padre Marcelo is still alive? I spent one day a great afternoon with him while he showed me the abbay and the great organ that I had the pleasure to play Franck on it...

[eclgall]

@emersonrsantos Yes, dear Emerson, he's still alive and playing.

[eclgall]

Ja, das wäre schön...

[cliftongs]

very cool

[eclgall]

Das Video hat 2006 waehrend eines nicht geplanten Besuchs in der Kirche stattgefunden. Die Orgel war damals leider nicht gestimmt. Trotzdem habe ich den Film gemacht um die Frage der grössten Orgel in Südamerika zu veröffentlichen.

Gruss

[gutoruiz]

Rex Instrumentorum!!

[pipeup1]

Some of the principals in the great sound like they need to be tuned!? Especially in the upper octave. Could be some wind leakage either??

[eclgall]

The organ at that time was out of order. Now it is tuned.

[robert3302]

@eclgall I think it would be extraordinarily difficult to keep a pipe organ in tune in a tropical climate, unless the chamber is continuously air-conditioned, which would be very expensive.

[eclgall]

@robert3302 Dear Robert, you're right.

[eclgall]

It's a big church in Niteroi, Rio de Janeiro State - Brazil // Es ist eine riesige Kirche in Niteroi - Bundesstaat Rio de Janeiro - Brasilien

[eclgall]

Transmitirei as saudações a ele.

[spectrum3]

Grandes saludos desde Santiago de Chile al Señor Organista José Carlos Rigatto, de quien tengo un Long Play de música muy hermosa. I had enjoyed Cesar Frank's music...

[eclgall]

Transmitirei as saudações a ele.

[peencre12]

mas como o padre vai tocar, se ele tem que rezar a missa?

[eclgall]

Naturalmente, há outros padres para o ofício da missa, enquanto este padre-organista toca.

[rosaspon2007]

Suena bien y por los datos, es el mas grande de sudamerica HOY...me gustaria tocarlo alguna vez...

[caiocollalto]

I think YOUR EARS are out of tune !! goddamn bastards !!!

[eclgall]

You could be more polite. I'm not the organist. I was there and made the video during a visit.

[ccoraxfan]

Ouch! Needs tuning! Other than that, a wonderful instrument!

[eclgall]

It was a quick visit to the church and the instrument really needed tuning, I know. But the intention is only to show the instrument.

[gigantor068]

Probably the closest i'll ever see to an organ. How would you know if they don't tune it? They probably want to play it that way.

[BeFrSc]

A big Organ needs to be tuned every 3 weeks, if its a small church Organ, once every year or so.

[gigantor068]

I see. Like I said, that's the closest thing i'll ever see to an organ. Other than that I really don't know much else about it other than some great music came from the organ.

[BeFrSc]

ahhh well, if you want to see an organ, just ask one of the local churches staff, and they can show you, people are very relaxed about organs in America, they're willing to show you, play it to you, demonstrate everything etc. I'm an organist myself, and all I did was phone the vicar.

[bradhorn14]

what?!? the french tune their organs better than you fucking americans

[farodkhaledmossad]

Pois é , será que temos que o afine?

11.130 tubos, isso sim é incrível, um dos maiores do mundo. Vou divulgar. E vc é o organista?

[eclgall]

Não; quem está tocando é o Padre Marcelo Martiniano Ferreira, organista titular da Basílica dos Salesianos em Niterói. Também sou organista, mas da igreja luterana no Rio de Janeiro. A basílica tem um organeiro dedicado à manutenção do órgão, a cargo de quem fica a afinação periódica.

[farodkhaledmossad]

wow, adorei saber que também temos um grande orgão de tubos por aqui, conheço vários pela Europa e sempre me emociono ao ouví-los, imagino tocá-lo. Parabéns, adorei. como já foi observado ele me parece um pouco acima do tom, especialmente no início, parecia realmente uma baleia "gritando", mas quem sou eu para reparar, adoro as baleias também.

Obrigado.

[eclgall]

Caríssimo,

É que o órgão, nesse dia, estava desafinado.

[mikesolejazz]

love the little skweaks up top! Wonderful reeds, flutes. Oh what a pleasant pallet to choose from!

[13orthanc13]

and it sounds awful...like a whale sized kazoo

[Mackaronni]

Lavis23 NEEDS TO "CHILL"....or GET BACK ON YOUR MEDICATION....!!!!

[flavian18]

very nice organ.

[lavis23]

get a fuckin life you organ fuck-ups! good vid though. NOT! you fuck-ups!

[and3583]

anyone know who the builder was??

[eclgall]

The italian builder Tamburini.

[eclgall]

Transmitirei a ele.

[eclgall]

Dear friend,

My title doesn't say "Latin America" but "South America".

[Handel81]

é un TAMBURINI is Italian Pipe Organ

[ginopiddu]

that's made in italy!

i like so much

[spectrum3]

Yes, I know this instrument since I was a Child. I have a Long Play with organ music in this ORgan. José Carlos Rigatto was the organist.

[eclgall]

Mr. Rigatto, he is my old friend.

[MrRandomPerson]

One note sounds rather badly out of tune. Otherwise, very good.

[HumbertoMarquez]

Muy bonito, en el Auditorio Nacional en México también tenemos otro órgano Tambourini de grandes dimensiones.

[eclgall]

De fato, o maior órgão da América Latina encontra-se na Cidade do México. Em todas as Américas o instrumento de maior dimensões está na Pensilvania - USA.

[AnthonyNocket]

Aah, Caesar Franck, one of my favorite chorales

[huskysouthfl]

I thought the organ in the Cathedral in Sao Paulo was the largest in South America.

[eclgall]

As a matter of fact this organ in Niteroi has more pipes than the instrument in Sao Paulo (eclgall)
