It's in a church in Worcestershire, UK - if you're ever in the area, look me up and come and play it!

If this is badly played, then all I can say is that I wish I could play as badly!! It's very well played indeed - and the pedalling is extraordinary! Really, really well done!

@ArieVisker ah, thanks

The organ dosn't have pipes, it only works with reeds. The size of a 32' reed no way neer a 32' pipe. But the vibrations and the pitch are the same.

I'm blown away at the amount of hand, eye and foot coordination you have to have to play, truly amazing!!

@wurlitzer895 i know right, i said the same thing, i cant even play chop sticks!!

What a pity you stopped. With an out-of-tune reed- organ (aren't they all?) which must be like driving a tractor, a straight pedalboard and lumberjack boots you turn in this excellent performance. Well done! (Post it again, and this time, let's hear the whole thing, preferably without the hound.)

@Musique3579 I think he just wanted to be modest about himself. I like a classically trained musician who thinks less of his abilities. It's a nice change from all those other "virtuosos" out there.
