Gavotte - Handel - Karn Reed Organ

This fun little piece was written by Handel. It is loads of fun to play, on either reed organ or pipe organ.

This Karn organ was made in Woodstock, Ontario Canada around 1912, it contains 19 stops and over 300 reeds. It does not have the depth as my Berlin organ, but that does not stop me from having fun playing it!

This thing has much less sub-bass than your Berlin organ.

@teslapower220 - Very true. There are very few organs that can compare to the Berlin with the sub bass in my opinion. The reeds on the Berlin are much larger that the Karn, and vibrate the house from the low F on down :)

That was really great and what I wouldn't give to find a magnificent Karn such as this. Your playing as always is OUTSTANDING and I loved the selection. Never heard this Handel piece before but it's a 100% audience pleaser no question! :-) All the best-

1 dislike needs to go to the otolaryngologist...

@rodneyjantzi I love the sound of your Berlin organ, especially for the sub bass :)

I admire your talent and thank you agan for the tutorials....I am sory if my english is not as good as it should be but I try my best.

I wach many videos on youtube but your channel is my favorite one. You absolutly know how to impres people who love music and reed organs. I just starting to play the reed organ so your reeding tutorials were wery usefull to me. I also have a reed organ, an old August Forster from 1866 but I haven't fully restored it yet. The reed's are looking good and it sound great but my father and I have to make a new casework because the oldone didn't exist at all when my fathe brought it home.

Rodney, one comment below makes me smile, no laugh, because I totally agree with jacovandenhudding when he speaks of "elektronische rommel" which is in English "electronic junk". And I even more agree since he calls your performance "prachtig" which is outstanding , excellent or splendid. I did so far only listen to this masterpiece here using the built-in speakers of my laptop. But I eagerly await to hear it with full frequencies tonight.

@jacovandenhudding Authentieke muziekinstrumenten klinken altijd veel mooier dan digitale orgels. Het is altijd weer een kwestie van emotie.

translated: Authentic musicinstruments always does sound much better than digital organs, It is always emotional.

Thanks for sharing this Rodney, it was awesome, it did sound very warm.

It's also very nice to see that Christmas decoration mount on the organ. This brings me, to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
