i still dont understand were the air comes from. Do organs have air compressors.

[duongngocvuminh]

Can anyone tell me the name of the music that the organist plays at 1:02,thankz

[bluecollarboiler]

@MyMIXmedia yes, sort of, it uses a fan that develops a large volume of air, at about 1/2 psi

[MrPlaystationboy]

@MyMIXmedia yes. its a electric air compressor

[ajackson5955]

The name of this show is "How Its Made" not "How It Works".

[sdm84]

@MyMIXmedia No. Most organs, both new and historic, have electric blowers, although others can still be operated manually. The wind supplied is stored in one or more regulators to maintain a constant pressure in the windchests until the action allows it to flow into the pipes. Hope this satisfies your question.

very interesting on how they made the pipe organ.

[mabindaby555]

@MyMIXmedia You pump in air by constantly pumping the foot pedals as you play.

[zinpgh]

@duongngocvuminh It's from Bach's Orgelbuchlein I believe.

[bassie52]

@MyMIXmedia In old days two people would jump on a pump. Now we have electronic pumps to make the air.

[RangerElenneth]

@MyMIXmedia The organ's air is provided by blowers that feed air into large bellows which adjust the wind pressure to the desired level before piping it into the wind chambers below the pipes.
