Jig in A minor by Neil Harmon | Hauptwerk Virtual Pipe Organ

[eskatee]

Years ago I bought a Direct-to-Disc record with Dr Longhurst at the Tabernacle Organ (together with a George Wright one, second hand at Jazz Special, Utrecht, hahaha), a nice addition to the collection,

Kind regards from Amersfoort, Netherlands

Gert

P.S. Which sample set did you use here?

[oofahman]

That is COOL!!

[rmanzanog1]

Hi Rob. I have been listenig to you playing several sampleset and all of them sound very similar: And also very different from other players. Is it for some kind of special reberveration you apply? Which one?. Do you prefer dry sampleset with added reb? Thanks

[stefanussen]

@rmanzanog1 I do add impulse response reverberation. This is the FrB40 IR @ -7.5dB if I recall correctly.

[rmanzanog1]

@stefanussen Thanks. So a plugin is needed?

Hi Rob, I like very much Your Music. Thank,s Friendly Jacques.

You are a great organist.

[themates46]

Hi Rob I see that you have a new key´s that old pianted or its wood ? .

[shipsbells]

Looks like you antiqued the keyboard since your lad video.

[davbear221]

I always enjoy listening to you! You are a very gifted organist and musician! Do you concertize? Our church is now looking for a new pipe organ to replace the ailing. Would love to have you do a recital!

[organpipe8]

ROB,

That was awesome as usual !

Thank you for sharing.

[JayyB]

Very nice piece, and you played it well as usual! I've enjoyed your videos and am intrigued by the Hauptwerk reproduction of pipes-they do a good job!

[Brandotuomikoski]

Whoa! Love the new keys! Where did you find them?

[AllTheStopsJB]

Robert- What kind of shoes are you using? They dont appear to be Organmasters. Is the heel 1 1/4 inch ? Or is it higher?

[stefanussen]

@AllTheStopsJB The shoes are Capezio 445s, 1" heel.

[stefanussen]

@AllTheStopsJB The shoes are Capezio 445s, 1-inch heel.

[BH061595]

What is up with the keys?

[MrMusic1984]

I am pleased to say that I was a student of Dr. Neil Harmon's when I was in high school.

[wpbc1945]

Rob,

As usual, an excellent job. I enjoy watching you play as much as the satisfaction from the wonderful sound. I never cease to be amazed how good this set up sounds. Allen and Rodgers don't seem to come close (at least nothing I've heard or played). Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful gift with us here. Best Wishes from a very cold southeast Louisiana. :-)

[AllTheStopsJB]

Very nicely done!

[eelgar1857]

Your playing is beautiful, and the virtual organ is pretty amazing, too!

Are Allen and Rodgers shaking in their boots yet, or are they too

hidebound to even notice how far Hauptwerk has come? ;-)

[provoschoolbus]

totally reminds me of pirates!! but much more prestigious and cooler of course. and the dog at the end was amazing too! a good post!

[himrasmus101]

Marvelous...this piece is very nice...very well written and settle

[Thrashyiff]

Dog at the end <3 This was a fantastic feat of engineering and electronics. Nicely done!

[SquirreledAway]

Nicely Done!

[CoutureOrganiste]

Nice playing, great new manuals, wonderful piece of music and the dog is precious! My partner and I have a tri-coloured Cavalier and she is a handful as is our Dachshund.

[RialtoTwo]

Very nice. Any chance you will be replacing Dr. Longhurst?

[mikedc2020]

Great piece, Rob, thanks for recording it. I guess it's been quite a while since you've posted -- new console, new keyboards (I have the same ones, except reverse color naturals/sharps), even you look different! Where are the speakers now?  Are you still using the same ones?

[stefanussen]

@mikedc2020 Speakers on either side, still using same ones.

[danyorgue]

Merci beaucoup... very nice!

[caysonstaples]

I love the dog at the end...that's really funny! What did you do to your keys? They look cool!

[gabeinve]

Nice to finally see your face and hear your voice!

[violagamba]

Does this sample have a working Crescendo pedal ? It sounds like you brought on a Crescendo.

Antoni

[stefanussen]

@violagamba The Haverhill OIC does have a crescendo pedal, but I didn't use it here.  The build-up you're hearing starting at 2:02 is a combination of pistons and opening the swell shades.

[violagamba]

@stefanussen

Hi Rob:

Thanks for the info. Nice playing !!!!! I noticed in some of your earlier 3-manual postings that you had six white speakers set up. I have yet to get some speakers as i am afraid i will get the wrong ones. Which speakers do you recommend for a room of your size ? My room is about the same size.

[stefanussen]

@violagamba I'm using the DefTech SM450s. I've been happy with them, I'm sure the 350s, which are a little smaller and less expensive would do just fine as well.

[Westtoledoguy]

very nice Jig has a spooky feel to it but very nice

[virtualpoboy]

Rob,

Always good to see a new mini performance from you. New keydesk is impressive! Should feel much more comfortable under the fingers. Thanks again for the post. Jim

[cswainhart]

Great addition to your channel. The introduction with you talking is an excellent idea. You should get a big picture of you playing the tabernacle organ and put that on the wall.

[stefanussen]

@cswainhart Thanks Chris! I was going back and forth on whether or not to show my mug on YouTube, but people always request it, so I figured a little introduction was appropriate.

[goodchappy]

Excellent! I have never noticed any mistakes in your playing.

I am looking to buy from midiworks and would like a similar setup.

Would you say the wooden keys are worth the extra money?

[stefanussen]

@goodchappy I think that depends on how your budget looks. I think it's safe to say that the wooden keyboards fall into the luxury category. That being said, they provide a very satisfying feel that is different from the plastic model. It's nice to have some texture under your fingers while you play.

[zygmunt1985]

Wonderful as always

[MrPrunelax]

Excellent! Your keyboard looks darker, did you color it in a darker shade? Looks antique, I like it. It looks a little bit like Pirates of the Caribbean, hahaha!

[stefanussen]

@MrPrunelax These are new wood core keyboards from midiworks.ca

[RobCharles1981]

@stefanussen Thanks Rob for that very nice Dog looks nice too!

[MrPrunelax]

@stefanussen That helps a lot. I used to play on a Johannus Organ, the keys were made of plastic and it really made the instrument feel like a cheap plastic toy. On the other hand I used to play another organ with wooden keys and it was awesome. You could see that the muscles in my fingers developed LOL. The feeling you got from playing was great. It was a real pipe organ with 4 manuals, so even if it had plastic keys it was like riding a Cadillac!
