very nice playing! love the sound of the organ. by the way, i know the pedals provide the bass, what do those 2 boards you pushed in do

[MoneyManTC]

@270crazyguy Great question!! There are three, the two on the left control a set of shudders which control the volume of some of the pipes. They are called the "swell pedals." The one on the far left is called the crescendo pedal, and it adds additional stops as it is pushed forward.

Cool console! There's also another behind you, what is that for?

[MoneyManTC]

@OrganistAnthony The other console is a Hammond organ, which is is used for gospel performances.

great work! playing such a virtuos organmusic AND be filmed during playing it: you need steady nerves! i think the tempo is quit well done.

[MoneyManTC]

@Cb65at She actually missed a day of practice that week because of an issue with the instrument's key, but was still able to get this recorded like the professional she is :-)
