Not only is this trumpet inappropriate for this room, but, at least through my headphones, it sounds annoying. It probably would sound less annoying if placed in St. Paul's Cathedral, London or St. John the Divine as a secondary horizontal reed.

whats this song callled

I was playing at Anthony Newman's Church and he installed en-chamade but his Sanctuary is half the size of the one in this video. Wayyy too loud!
-
yeah - the Trompette militaire in Liverpool cathedral works very well, but it is like 120 ft up in the tower!

Samc.... what church in Glens Falls would that be??? I live 45 minutes south of there. A friend of mine builds tracker organs.

There is a church in Glens Falls, NY where there is a Casavant organ in the gallery and a Reuter organ in the chancel. The Imperial Trompette en Chamade was installed on the gallery organ case and it's on 20" of pressure. So, yes en chamades can go in the front or back of the church. For example the State Trumpets at the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine in NYC takes about 1.5 seconds for the State Trumpets to actually sound. And there on 50" of pressure. It's the length of 2 football fields

Chamades are always best with the main portion of the organ. Unless you have several sets like Coral Ridge. Always have a set with the main organ
-
As someone else already pointed out, the whole point of en-chamade solo reeds is to have them placed antiphonally.

I'll come in, revoice, then place them vertical letting them utilize more free air space above instead of projecting directly above the congregant's heads. They can remain unenclosed on the back wall so they can still retain "heralding trumpet" status.
i've seen chamades in big cathedrals that are separate from the organ (which sounds amazing), but I just think this church is too small. I actually jumped when they came in so close to the camera!

The church is to small for an en-chamade anywhere. I agree with you. They work GREAT in big cathedrals with a high ceiling though.

the State Trumpets at St. John take almost 2 seconds to reach the other side of the church!

Ya, the sound has to travel about 2 or 3 city blocks, before it reaches the organist.
