Must have been a feast for the ears of any harmonium lover to hear this great instrument in person! Wow!

A truly fascinating instrument and would seem to be quite a rare combination of sound sources.. A very interesting instrument.

Fascinating attempt to combine two different types of sound sources. I imagine when the instrument was new that everything went together well, tonally. I wonder if a recording is in the works?

The spider at 5:34 was like.. nope.... truly fascinating instrument, it's a bit more harmonium than organ for my taste, but I like how they did it.

Jeu Doux means a soft combination. Doux is like dolce. Having prolongment of this type that Koty applied means that whatever notes desired are held on a soft combination whilst the entire manual may be played with the desired registration. Exactly as a sostenuto pedal.

This organ clearly has an intersting history. The fact that the original owner "had to leave in 1938" says a lot. De we know more about that?

I'll say it says a lot! Something tells me that if he/she/they didn't leave the continent, they never came back. I hope the family received reparations.

Must be a pain to make them be in tune with each other. Even with one digital rank added to a pipe organ can be a nightmare as the digital always stays at the same pitch while the pipework fluctuates according to all sorts of factors. In this instance the pipes and reeds behave differently when exposed to humidity, heat, dryness etc.

You're quite right about that!

"Manufactured for a private household...After the owner had to leave in 1938..." Was this instrument stolen from a Jewish family? Did the owners ever receive compensation for it?

I noticed the nearly-star-of-David decorations on each side. But what does he mean when he keeps talking about using the bellows? Is that just for the reeds?
@Chopinzee6138 ай бұрын
@@georgebattrick2365 They ARE stars of David, just rotated a bit. He didn't explain what the bellows are for. Both the pipes and the reeds require moving air. On a traditional harmonium, the bellows are pumped with the feet, and that may be the purpose of those pedals that we can see. But on an organ, with its pedal board, that would obviously be unworkable.

Beautiful old organ. Should be in an old chapel. This church is moderné ugly
