1871 Reuben Midmer Organ - Cathedral Shrine of The Virgin of Guadalupe, Dallas, Texas

[@georgemurphy2579]

The sound this makes is 20-times what you'd expect. Wonderful!!!

[@larikipe940]

I was at the OHS convention and had the privilege of hearing this absolutely wonderful instrument; in fact, it was perhaps my favorite instrument of the entire convention. I was particularly impressed with the presence of what is a fairly modest instrument in a rather large church. The organ has a magnificent, rich tone. Chris, it was also a delight to make your acquaintance.

[@speedstick77]

I am truly impressed. I have played other instruments from that period. This organ seems ahead of its time.

[@bobh5087]

A really rich and beautiful-sounding instrument. And a really satisfactory stoplist, as well. Wonderful Principals, Flutes, and Reeds. 👍💖

[@dalerider5388]

Strings?

[@dalerider5388]

Playback system?

[@billraty14]

What a beautiful marriage of instrument and glorious acoustic!

[@vulcanstarlight]

Oh those lush, rich, beautiful string stops!!

Santiago Vicent : Magnifico organo romantico de delicado sonido propio de los organos de este periodo ¡ Maravillosa interpretacion ! Magister organorum saludos desde España.

[@fnersch3367]

Very Romantic with a lot of hysteresis.

[@OrganNLou]

Finally an american church space that is reverbrant.

@Maikind K. Don't be so harsh..!

[@TheJohn1567]

wonderful organ!

[@garfixit]

Great video love this

[@danielwhite9595]

Incredible sonority on this instrument

[@georgemurphy2579]

Brent...just let them explain. I think it would be easier that way. They know these instruments. Thanks!

[@Pipe-organ-recordings]

Nicely done !!!

[@praestant8]

Nice instrument!

[@horsebassoon]

There's a challenge for you, organists - transcribing literature like the Bach Cello Suites, and finding nice sounds and playing it musically. Gotta try that someday.

[@pyerceoates9625]

horsebassoon no need to transcribe, it’s written for bass clef, I’ve played it a few times.

[@thebog11]

It sounded like the front door of the cathedral was open. It was a little difficult to hear some of the softer stops and the cello transcription.

[@peterwarner358]

Have you ever visited House Of Prayer Lutheran Church (2 manual 9 Rank Schlicker 1989 or Gloria Dei Lutheran Church who also has a Schlicker 2 manual but I don't know the vintage. Both churches are in Escondido, CA.

[@markgustus6172]

Thanks for a look at this remarkable instrument, a real treasure. I'm wondering how Roy Redman managed to fit all the additional pipework into the case. New, more compact, chests?

[@praestant8]

Mark Gustus The pedal received a little extra chest work. Manual additions were likely done when the original chests were retabled and space could be better allocated with the building of new toeboards. If not quite wide enough an extension to the chest with a jump slide was likely done.

[@markgustus6172]

Thanks very much!

[@williammitchell1864]

We have an 8' Open Diapason and it "stops" right there ☺️😁 I wonder what the overall dimensions of this whole Organ?

[@tom7601]

Is that Midmer as in Midmer-Losh? (Please forgive my spelling)

[@OrganMediaFoundation]

Yes, the Losh brothers bought the Midmer firm in 1924 and named their company Midmer-Losh.

[@dalerider5388]

I liked hearing the string & celeste, but didn t hear their name(s). Viola pomposa & Celeste, perhaps.

[@JoshuaSobel]

Great video, but I wish you would include a full, uninterrupted piece of repertoire to show off each organ you cover. Talking over it doesn't really work for me imho. Other than that, great work as usual! Keep it up.

[@praestant8]

Joshua Sobel Its not a recital, just a quick tour.

[@ErikN1]

Beautiful sounding organ! I’m totally blanking on the piece played at 11:28. Could anyone help me out?

[@xavierramos6651]

Erik N C Minor prelude from the Well Tempered Clavier

[@ErikN1]

Xavier Ramos thank you very much! 👍🏻😀 It's been annoying me for days that I couldn't remember what it was

[@SingerGeneLeonard]

I don’t understand why they have this wonderful instrument and yet when they’re on TV for a mass they don’t use it they have some electronica piano down front.

[@jimmorgan5612]

This is a restoration with missing natural covers and a sinking great keyboard? I'm confused.

[@praestant8]

Jim Morgan They appear to be the original ivory naturals.

[@Diapason16ft]

Interrupting music with these damn ads? SHAME ON YOU.

[@johanbrand8601]

That's KZbin. Not the uploader of this video.

[@Diapason16ft]

@@johanbrand8601 It’s the uploader clicking ‘monetize’. Then with every ad that cuts in, YT steals data that i’ve already paid for.

[@timdaugherty5921]

Chris is a happy girl!!

[@praestant8]

Tim Daugherty What’s not to be happy about? It’s a lovely historic instrument.
