Nice camera work. Good use of moving zoom to animate the "Still shots". Nice slow pans. Good job - professional quality.

Thanks! It was a a video taken on a digital camera so I am pleased that you think it is good - I was worried that it was the opposite! Microsoft movie maker makes easy work out of the rest of it. Thank you for your comment.

What a tremendous organ, the console has an unusal build. What is this organ located?

Help

Some may remember this finest of organs when it was kept in tune.......

Actually the world's largest organ has only 33,112 pipes. Either way it is huge. This is at Boardwalk Hall, Atlantic City. The Atlantic City organ is only partially functional. The Wanamaker organ is the largest fully functional organ.

Excellent registration, that console is really quite gigantic! Excellent room too, the piece sounds nice in that acoustic enviornment

I really like the stylized ornamentation here. And wow, what an instrument. Thanks for this.

[RADAMES1983]

Thank you! A divine music and very good and simple performance.

The console isn't actually in a box, it just looks like a box it's so big! The original console is still in place but not in the choir stalls as you suggest. It is high up above the stalls, attached to the organ itself on the south side of the cathedral (left as you look at the altar). It is a fabulous instrument and has recently had yet another Tuba stop added on very high wind pressure. The building is massive - 'pace' St John's NYC

I was of course referring to oakberry61's post!

[zippylad77]

That's correct but it isn't actually playable at the moment and hasn't been for a while. It was actually partly functioning until a few years ago, when building work was carried out on the hall, and no one thought to cover up the organ, and so a lot of debris and dust have got into the pipework and silenced it! It did have the loudest organ stop in the world on 100' inches of pressure. 7 times louder than a locomotive horn!

The Mormon Tabernacle organ, containing almost 12,000 pipes is unique in that it can interpret just about anything that has been written for organ. In it's home it can whisper the quietest passages to the most powerful, triumphant finales.When visiting, the best place to sit is dead center just a few rows ahead of the rear balcony.
