I guess there is a name to how the organ sounds. And that's a Romantic. It would have been built, I guess, during the Romantic period circa 1890-1950.
@ kimbo0270. Those are the "celeste's" that you are hearing (sounds like the string celeste with possibly the 8' flute celeste). The celeste ranks are tuned, depending on the stop and voicing, either slightly sharp or slightly flat. This gives that "waiver" that you hear. I hope this helps.
To the organist. Thank you for posting this video. Excellent playing, and great job presenting the many colors of this instrument with such a beautiful hymn!
that is a very nice-sounding organ there. and yeah you do play well - i play the organ but only as a pianist who can do some pedals - i get how they work, but my school are starting me with organ lessons. i got a vid of me playing my church organ - any comments? =]

Very nicely played, my friend. Who is the builder of that organ? Looks very similar to the console of an Allen I play...
Best wishes for Advent and Christmas,
Martin
