One of the greatest classics,on one of the best organs ever made, played by a master! Fantastic!!

@nameofthepen Just checked the stoplist. The Grace Baptist Wurlitzer does have Sostenuto, though, on a Wurlitzer of this size, I'd be a bit surprised if it didn't. On Wurlitzers, it's a lever, not a piston or button, thus it's easy to control this while keeping your foot on the swell. Again, that function is only on the Great manual. Look up "Dave Calendine explains how the organ console works" on YouTube for footage of a demo of Sostenuto, on Jim Krughoff's Wurlitzer.

@nameofthepen Sorry someone was so pissy about answering that. On many larger Wurlitzers, there's a Sostenuto feature on the Great (bottom manual). The switch for this is on the master swell, and is activated by sliding your foot to the right. This is not the round silver button you often see at the top of the master swell on some Wurlitzers, that's the piano sustain. Wurlitzers have many other unique abilities - second or double touch, pizzicato touch, etc.

Semplicemente mostruoso. I miei complimenti.

I visited there once!! beautiful organ. All hidden behind screens of course. I saw it and was expecting an allen then came the prelude, and WOW.

[nameofthepen]

@3dwurli - Ha! " on SOME organs". Might explain why the other conversation went south.

Thanks for you reply. Makes sense. Peace/out. :-)

[3dwurli]

@nameofthepen Yes, on SOME organs there is a toe or thumb piston you can press which will hold the notes until you press the piston again. Otherwise, the sound will only keep coming as long as you keep your finger on the keys.

@flyurway - finally you have to go psychopuppy to work up the clarity level to answer a simple question. "NOTHING ON AN ORGAN KEEPS THE GD PIPE PLAYING ONCE YOU RELEASE THE KEY!"

You could have said that in the first place. Thank you for the info.

[flyurway]

@nameofthepen For Pete's sake! You know, I TRY to be nice and answer your question. You can't seem to fathom the OBVIOUS in TWO different responses, so now you have to get all pissy on me. No good deed ever goes unpunished, does it? WHAT PART OF "once you let go of the key the sound is going to stop ..." DOES NOT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION?? NO! NOTHING ON AN ORGAN KEEPS THE GD PIPE PLAYING ONCE YOU RELEASE THE KEY! YA' GET IT NOW? AND I'M PERFECTLY FLUENT WITH THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE...SMARTASS PRICK!
