Historic Hinners Orgel

I was in my hometown this afternoon and had to stop in and take a bit of film of the organ at the church I was a member of there... it's a 1905 Hinners, so it's 101 years old - and very well preserved for its age, I say.

Sound quality is crap as usual - too close to get undistorted sound with a lot of stops on. Just wanted to give you folks an idea of what an organ of this vintage sounded like.

GAH, I really AM that fat...

The songs I ran through are such:

"This is the Feast"

"In the Bleak Midwinter"

"A Mighty Fortress"

Thanks for your interest!

What was the name of the first hynm you played I want to look it up. Loved It!

[posaune16]

"This is the Feast..." it's a part of one of the settings of the Lutheran liturgy, and it also appears in some other denominational hymnals in the Easter section.

Fat...thin...who cares? You do a fine job of showing what this organ can do. Thanks for the great tempo and phrasing! You don't seem like an "organ-snob." Keep up the good work!

I like to think I'm not an organ-snob - tho I am hopelessly devoted to the organ as THE instrument for the accompaniment of the sacred liturgy :-)

Favourited this video few years ago. I love it, but I dont know exactly why. ^^

I can play the piano but I want to learn to play the organ.

Loved it! Many Thanks!

Nice hymn playing, nice sounding instrument. We have a 1909 Hinners of similar specification here in Oklahoma City, the oldest extant instrument in the state in its original location. Since it's presently unplayable, I've used your recording to help drum up support and volunteers for a restoration effort! Good work, bud!

I have an ex- who supports my debt. I am experimenting now with a Sony DVD recorder that is going out of fashion. I took back a Canon that used tapes. I hope you get the clams, but ask around about audio! Everyone is concerned about video - for organists it is critical. I hope your next turns out nice.
