When I was little I used to sit up in the Balcony of the church, my dad is a Pastor and if my mom had to work at the hospital on sundays that is where I sat, I remember watching the Organ player play every note, this video takes me back to those days of quietly sitting on the bench next to her while she played the postlude. This video shows such an Amazing skill, and has re-inspired me to use this as my postlude at my wedding next year. Thank you very much for sharing!

You're welcome. Thanks for viewing and your comments.

Greetings from NJ.

(Like your YT video night flight over Madison - you must be instrument certified?)

Cheers,

Wayne

Beautiful! In which temperament is the organ tuned? It sounds beautiful for Haendel!

[joenwayne]

@skyriver83 Thanks for viewing and your kind comments.

The organ is tuned in equal temperament. There is a tierce mixture on the Swell which can give a rather pungent addition to the sound.

I saluti a lei in Italia da New Jersey, USA.

@patsaxon

That is correct - not a single digit in it!

Thanks for your comments and for viewing.

Cheers,

Wayne

I am assuming that this is a real pipe organ and not a digital organ? It sounds great!

@sk8er1979 even just listening is amazing!
