  • How wonderful that this organ came to you for restoration. I know the original builders would be proud to know that their instrument is still being used and honored. I know that a really good organist can make even a small organ sound great, but THIS organ is really SOMETHING!! You are amazing with what you can do with it!!! I have a Clough and Warren that is seven sets of reeds in treble and five in bass, plus Sub Bass. You organ sound even better than mine!!! Please keep posting.

  • @organman49 - Thank you very much! Your Clough and Warren would be absolutely amazing with that many reeds. In some ways, I think that Clough and Warren are "releated" to Berlin organs, as the Berlin organs seemed to share many of the same internal designs and parts as Dominion organs, and Dominion organs are linked to C&W though ownership…

  • Wonderfull!!! Congratulation!!! The Harmonium is a lovely instrument!!!

  • @DeusMisereremei - Thank you very much!

  • Where do you have the microphone placed?

  • @Zylstra555 - I have 2 old condenser microphones placed in the middle of the room, around 3 feet off the floor, in addition to the stereo mics on the camera.

  • Outstanding performance!! Where on Earth did you learn to play the reed organ the way it is supposed to be played? I very rarely see anyone use the knee swells. How did you learn? We just got a restored Windsor organ yesterday from an estate for $150, and it is very powerful. I loved your performance so much that I subscribed to your channel! PLEASE!! KEEP ON POSTING!!

  • Great!!! I taped it twice, on pipe-organs (check my channel), but this version is very interesting! And the piece is played on the type of instrument, that it's written for!

  • Bravissimo, Rodney !

  • Great job!! You play it very well!!

    Greatings from the Nederlands

  • WOW I LOVE YOUR ORGAN. HA HA NOW I WANT ONE LOL! WOULD LOVE THE SHEET MUSIC TO SONG YOU ARE PLAYING.

  • Very very nice playing ! I had this play on CD (from the Karg-Elert intergal CD box), but on live, how better it is ! Thanks for it !
