Totally sweet. There's a recording of this piece on an E. Power Biggs recording of Spanish Organs... Toledo etc. "Historic Organs of Spain" Am recording my old vinyl disk to the computer. Hope it works.

Thanks for the video - very interesting and exellent music.

 I notice that the tuning goes off in the fuller chords, and there is also some unsteadyness at other times. Am I correct in thinking that your blower is fed directly into the soundboard, or is there some sort of wind regulation?

[lprluthier]

@Offshoreorganbuilder This kind of organs have just one step elbow and produces this kind of efect when you play fuller chords.

Yo creo que podría ser más interesante la disposición con un 1 1/3' y si posible un 1'. Me gustaría saber cual(es) obra(s) se toca(n) en esto vídeo. Saludos de Brasil.

[schneckenturm]

I have played the first piece ( - 2:24 ) very often in concert:

'La Romanesca' con 5 mutanze (Antonio Valente) Naples 1575

Great sounding organ! The construction photos are well presented and informative. That is one tightly packed box of pipes! How is the keyboard linked to the windchest? it's not clearly shown here. Also, it would have been nice to see the wind supply in the video.

Finally, what is the music played and who composed it?

@wurlitzer153duplex

At 5:12 you can see trackers running down off the back end of the keys. You can't see it all, but the most likely (and simplest) design would have a lever at the bottom end of each tracker which extends either under the front edge of the wind chest or inside the chest and pulls the pallet valves open. Key down, back end of key up, tracker up, front end of lever up, back end of lever down, pallet wire down and pallet open. Pallets can be seen at 2:42

[lprluthier]

At 5:12 you are looking the instrument from the back, so the trackers are running down below the front of the keylevers, right down to the front of the pallets. When you press the keylever, the tracker push down and open the pallet, as happens in the original Näser organ.

[ccoraxfan]

Thank you for the information. So the trackers are actually stickers, which are pushed down by the keys. Very simple and compact, as expected of such an organ.

[lprluthier]

That's it...

[friedrichsacher]

@wurlitzer153duplex It's "La Romanesca" by Antonio Valente

(Type that in google and you'll find a pdf with the score)!

Lovely workmanship and lovely sound all round.

A friend of mine had a positive built by lammermuir organs in scotland.

[waldhorn33]

Que bellos sonidos e interpretaciones!

[TheOrganaro]

INTERESSANTE !!!

[rosaspon2007]

Este organo ,¿es de algun particular en Argentina?...

[lprluthier]

Estimado Diomedes, este órgano lo construí para el organista mendocino Mario Masera. Actualmente lo tiene allá, en Mendoza capital. Mario es el profesor titular de órgano de la Facultad de Música de la Universidad de Cuyo.

[rosaspon2007]

¡¡Señor, se ha ganado mi gran estima y admiracion!!!, ADMIRO MUCHO A LOS QUE CONSTRUYEN Y REPARAN, Saludos amigo...

¡Muchas felicidades a Don Leopoldo Robredo por esta obra de arte!, qué bueno es saber que no sólo en europa se logran tan finos instrumentos.

[tockoriusoschael]

¡HERMOSO INSTRUMENTO, SR. ROBLEDO! Mis felicitaciones a Ud. y a todos sus colaboradores, porque sé el tremendo trabajo que lleva hacer un positivo de este tipo. Les envío mis afectos desde Rosario de Santa Fe y a los dos arcángeles que le acompañaron en esta cruzada (me refiero a don Miguel y a don Rafael, que hace mucho que no los veo) un abrazo enorme).

I live in Fraustadt :O

[lprluthier]

...I hope some day visit Fraustadt, my friend...

[allengarvin]

Very nice! I hope to own a chamber organ someday, but it will be a few years before I can afford it. The pedals are a nice touch, something I haven't seen on other period instruments of the type. Personally, I'd prefer a regal stop to the 2', but my tastes run to late renaissance more than baroque.

[lprluthier]

Oh, yes, a regal would fit very well in this kind of chamber organ...good sugestion...

[bradhorn14]

absolutely beutifull

[lprluthier]

Thank you Brad...I had al lot of fun building this instrument.

Leopoldo

[bradhorn14]

could you send me the schematics for the instrument..i would love to look at the work

[lprluthier]

Do you mean the plans?...my originals were schratered in the process of building, but you can ask for the technical drawing of the original instrument to the Germanisches National Museum...

[bradhorn14]

okay...where would i get that?

[accousticdecay]

I am impressed! Very nice craftsmanship and musicianship!

[lprluthier]

Oh, thank you very much, and by the way, Rafael Ferreyra is a great international performer...he has a huge website dedicated to Cavaillé-Coll and remacable organs located in Buenos Aires, Argentina...plenty of pictures, music examples in mp3 and all details of their dispositions, stops, etc...to find it, just google him...
