Some may call me crazy, others may say I have big balls. I prefer to call it passion. So here I am...at the very top of the Great Division of the Aeolian Skinner organ at First Baptist Church, Bakersfield, CA while my friend plays exerpts of the Maestoso from Vierne's Messe Sollenelle. I was standing right next to the Mixture, with the Great reeds to my right and the Pedal just beyond that, with the mitered metal 32' Bombarde behind me.

  • How did you go in there? you can lost your hearing... Massive!

  • The greatest stop in any pipe organ is the ambient environment. When you hear the pure sound next to the pipes as in this video you hear the fine distinct mixtures. However, when you hear the well voiced organ in the large cathedral setting with the multitude of reflections we call the reverberation, then you have the epitome of great sound!

  • who is the best man ever ? you you you... :) keep on - nice work you for ears:))

  • that is probably a very early Skinner or perhs an EM. Tell tale signs: a split swell chest, the flute triangular (wooden stop)

  • Can ya hear me now? !

  • One day, I discovered I had coglioni grande when I was standing right in front of the Swell of the big A-S at Trinity, Copley Sq., Boston, when, right in the middle of changing the film in my camera, the Trompettes (7" wp) were blasting in my face (he-e-e-ellllo!). That didn't seem to phase me, since I was concentrating on what I was doing in limited light.

  • Sorry, don't think I said anything about "being inside a wind chest" or anything similar. I merely referred to the "dead" environmental accoustics. Sometimes this can be managed to one extent or another, sometimes not.
