Pipe organs are freaking absurd... Seriously, have you ever seen the ones that have like 5000 stops and 2000 keys and 1000 pedals? Just completely crazy... I have infinite respect for people who know how to play these things well. Maybe a bit less this one, since it's rather small, but it's cool too.

I'm honored that you liked my series of videos! Your toroidal whistle website was one of the sources I drew from when I embarked upon my own pipe organ project.

for ifxman, you're right, there is a technique unique to the organ, but it is still only one way of playing. I've heard staccato and arpeggios on the organ numerous times. It's not outside it's nature. It's just another thing that can be done with it. It's necessary at times in very resonant situations. G. van Reenen plays Scarlatti very nicely on pipe organ, and Bachs' toccata in Dmin has stac. and arpeg. at the end.

But he was playing it like a calliope, and sustains are rarely used in calliope playing. At any rate I was referring to the quality of the video, and how long sustains tend to peak more.
-
Exactly...that being said, you said..."but the guy could have avoided long sustains." - That's like saying, you can get more sustain from a Harpsichord. haha
The natural ADSR of any Pipe Organ is Longer Sustain...ever wonder why you never hear staccato or arpeggios on a Pipe Organ? It's an entirely different playing technique...
I just used synthesis to explain the ADSR's of different instruments. That's what synthesize means, to simulate?! Sorry, can't make it any plainer...Ciao =]]

But this is not a pipe organ simulation, so I'm not sure what you're getting at.

During the early part of the 20th century. innovative builders advanced the art of organ building to a level that it has never equalled to this day, culminating in a class of instruments known as municipal pipe organs.
With a current knowledge of the physics behind the sound of organ pipes we could easily design organs where even a 30 rank instrument would easily fill a venue the size of the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis and reintroduce the pipe organ to a whole new generation.

I got hooked on the pipe organ in 1968 at age 18 when I saw the Harrison & Harrison organ being installed at Corbett Auditorium at the University of Cincinnati. When I started donating Saturdays morkings to be part of the restoration crew of the former RKO Albee WurliTzer between 1974-1982 at Emery Theatre I was totally addicted. I was totally blown away seeing Virgil Fox perform at the Ohio Theatre in Columbus sometime during the 1970s.

what is that song that guy plays on organ.
ChrisRhymins 3 years ago
The song is O Susannah. The organist is my friend, Jim Dickman of Delhi, OH. Jim was also the organist at our wedding the following year (1982).

While it may be fun (but out-dated) to build a novelty pipe organ, with todays advanced sampling technology, why bother? You can download a virtual pipe organ for your computer. A lot of them are free. The most popular is the midizer. Just google "virtual pipe organ" or "midizer" for the differing varieties available.

Take a look at my home page. The reason I built it should become obvious. The reseach that led me to this little organ also led me to US Patents 4429656 and 4686928 on high power outdoor warning devices as replacements for today's ineffective warning sirens. You'll see a video of the original prototype.
