How It's Made Pipe Organs

[Andrewcarey87]

very interesting on how they made the pipe organ.

[zhangama]

thumbs up if you play on ORGANS

[tackledparsley]

@Bomberzone1745 your missing the point

[tackledparsley]

@Bomberzone1745 thats still not 10000 pipes

[alexisrussian]

I swear, there's a "How It's Made" for everything! ;-)

[Belchmaster41]

@alexisrussian I am not sure there is a How it's made for human reproduction

[omgitschrislol]

i wanna see an hear an organ with 10000 pipes

[gumdrops27]

yea im still lost about the airflow too

[tolisdrums]

when he said " they disassemble the organ and reassmeble it at the destination" i had a little heart attack...

[kittyhumor]

Wow, it takes longer to make a pipe organ than it does to watch this video? How weird...

[erikals2]

i recall seeing 'how it's made - metal recycling' on youtube a few years back - but it was a czech dub. Do you have the english version?

[duongngocvuminh]

Can anyone tell me the name of the music that the organist plays at 1:02,thankz

[LouiePlaysDrums]

@duongngocvuminh "Offertoire 'O filii', Op.49 No.2" by Alexandre Guilmant

[zinpgh]

@duongngocvuminh It's from Bach's Orgelbuchlein I believe.

Organs have turbine blowers that provide a lot of wind at relatively low pressures (well under 1 psi.)

[gamer0unreleased]

This really didn't explain anything

[MyMIXmedia]

i still dont understand were the air comes from. Do organs have air compressors.

[luigi90900]

@MyMIXmedia Yes.

[tackledparsley]

@MyMIXmedia it kinda works like a piston, when the player presses a key the valve drops, then some physics does stuff and air gets sucked through the pipes

[djtonyxxx5]

@MyMIXmedia yes organs has an air compressor. and very big. the organs in the church of my tonwn is small and has only 1600 pipe. but at full register you have to substain a big amout of air flow to make every pipe play .otherwise the power of sound will decay.

[Kaeralho]

@MyMIXmedia early organs used cauldrons, I believe

[PercussivePercussion]

@MyMIXmedia Old organs used bellows, either operated by another person, or by the organist's feet (for smaller organs). Modern organs use a "blower", or a mechanized bellow- look at 5:10 - you will see two alternating electric bellows.

[RangerElenneth]

@MyMIXmedia The organ's air is provided by blowers that feed air into large bellows which adjust the wind pressure to the desired level before piping it into the wind chambers below the pipes.

[bassie52]

@MyMIXmedia In old days two people would jump on a pump. Now we have electronic pumps to make the air.

[mabindaby555]

@MyMIXmedia You pump in air by constantly pumping the foot pedals as you play.

[sdm84]

@MyMIXmedia No. Most organs, both new and historic, have electric blowers, although others can still be operated manually. The wind supplied is stored in one or more regulators to maintain a constant pressure in the windchests until the action allows it to flow into the pipes. Hope this satisfies your question.
