My first Aeolian-Skinner Organ.. with 5 stops? So much fun to play! - Organ Demonstration - Paul Fey

[@curtchase3730]

I can't see why smaller church's that cannot afford, or have the space for a full large organ, have an organ like this that has such a rich full sound of a much larger organ! I think someone should produce and market these.

[@gerhardflink5599]

Wunderbare Wohnzimmerorgel.😊

[@SimonSaysNL]

Organ Media Foundation also did a video recently on this organ!!

[@PaulFey]

I think we‘ve actually been there on the same day! 😀

[@matthewbellocchio5877]

They were there one day before Paul.

[@johnruiz8758]

They claim that its the last organ skinner built.

[@Brent_Johnson]

​@@johnruiz8758only suggested as a possibility, there was no direct claim.

[@gregorykinsey8135]

How charming and enjoyable! It’s just really wonderful to have a young, fresh, superbly talented musician bring a fresh perspective to a wonderful instrument! Thank you!!!

[@charlieporter4869]

So crisp!

[@TB76Returns]

I think I saw a video about this very organ the other day, and it is said to be the last Aeolian Skinner organ ever. I played a small four stop organ at St John's church in North Rigton, so I know what it's like to get the sound right in your ears especially the mixture

[@francois7]

Me too I saw a video about this organ not long ago !

[@francois7]

It was published by ''Organ Media Foundation'' 4 days ago.

[@aBachwardsfellow]

I saw that video also -- the tracker noise is less noticeable here -- possibly due to placement of mics? And a lighter technic ?

[@Mrs.Karen_Walker]

I always love the gap combinations. 8'+2' or 4'+1' or 16'+4'

[@joeberta368]

Beautiful little chiff in the 8’ principal.

[@KiaTaatje]

Lovely organ and sound , greetings from New Zealand

[@PaulFey]

Thank you so much! 😀

[@pilotusa]

Wow! Such a huge sound from a relatively small instrument. Very impressive, as was the skill of the orgnist!

[@petitskiman8446]

Petit orgue, mais grand par le son. Super.🐧

[@jennfierkrueger8302]

The organ media foundation literally just did a vid on this organ XD

[@jdkoozer]

Very Rich sound for such a small Instrument. MagicalPipes

[@elnanaude5694]

Wow, I didn't expect such wonderful sounds from such a small instrument. Thank you Paul, most enjoyable!

[@yvesbrissette4074]

Hope you like your time spent in USA.

[@pattiiman989]

I so miss the organ at my church!

[@M_m.aang.uxz.1902]

Nice 😶‍🌫️😭

[@tentacleenema5202]

Very nice! You're in America?! Then you know in your heart you gotta do a video on the Midmer-Losh Organ and/or the Wanamaker Organ!

[@NHENDU161]

I hope you get to play the Tabernacle organ in Salt Lake City some time. That Aeolian Skinner is truly remarkable.

[@blasebalg3686]

Das ist meine große Freude zum heutigen Freitag 👍🙏👏👌

[@stepps511]

Lovely, Paul! What a lot of sound from what appears to be so little! Hope you are enjoying your time here in the States. Thank you!

[@mspg2]

delightful for such a small instrument it has a breadth of interest.

[@mattleach958]

Awesome. Thank you Paul. 🐧

[@aBachwardsfellow]

So glad to hear you are able to play and demonstrate some instruments in the USA -- looking forward to what other ones you may share. One annoyance I have is how often the tern "portative" organ is mis-used -- applied to instruments which are clealy too large and stationary to be "portable" . This is clearly a positive organ, and it's disappointing that people who should know better didn't. Or am I mistaken?

[@elizabethdent1984]

You did a great job educating us about and on this organ. It has amazing sound for its size. Thank you so much! ♥

[@mikekeenan8706]

Wow Paul, going from the largest organ to one of the smallest, in a few videos, is a feat. I am very impressed that you have managed to play all of them. Is here still an organ that you would like to perform on? Thank you, my friend, for showing us some of the world's most beautiful organs and for the equally beautiful music you play on them. 👏🎹🎼🎶

[@gregorygore2942]

Thanks Paul! Love your videos!

[@newfyboy]

Hey Paul......great demonstration of this cute little organ....what a magnificent sound for such a small instrument....intrigued by the very short keyboard & no pedals. Of course, like every organ, you can really make it sing! We just moved from Massachusetts to Maine last fall......enjoy your stay there....lots of great organs to play in MA!

[@SeanNCraleigh]

A great demonstration of this unusually small organ. It has a full rich sound, however. Thank you Paul, for presenting this video.

[@bruceedwards8003]

Great Paul, one can clearly see that you enjoyed playing this instrument. I personally enjoy playing smaller instruments when l get the opportunity, what a wonderful idea and use of those saved pipe ranks.

[@Yes_Alex_Cook]

I'm so glad you got a chance to visit Duxbury!

[@PaulFey]

Its wonderful there!! 😀

[@jorgezacharias4447]

Beautifull!!!!!! The dolce sound...

[@bunkydunk7500]

That was a great demonstration of a fascinating instrument 🤩 perfect score choice to show it off!

[@jillhertzog6365]

I love it Paul 😊😊😊😊😊

[@n.g.g.3113]

Das ist eine tolle winzige Orgel. Bravo 👏👏👏

[@kesterkirchwehm4949]

Dear Paul, thank you for the presentation of this small fine, but very beautiful organ...🐧👍🏻🐧🙏🏻🙏🏻 I also thank you for the video recordings, show you the organ like space. ...have a great time in the USA. 🐧🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻🐧🐧🐧

[@anthonyshiels9273]

Is this the very last instrument that Aeolian - Skinner built? Trent Johnson featured their final opus and it looks and sounds like this one.

[@alois2709]

Herrlich anzuhören Paul Fey 👌👌👌

[@gcatk]

Sounds amazing and a fun little instrument to play.

[@imacreeper7705]

Oh, wie süß die Orgel

[@Barefoot12]

I am big fan of Skinner! Great rehab and demo!!

[@g.k.failla9389]

A large Hintz organ, something middle size, or this very small Aeolian-Skinner? Like Goldilocks, Paul says "this one is just right"! From Chicago, U.S.A.

[@steffensindermann3220]

Hey, lieber Paul. So eine kleine Orgel und doch so super Klang und vor allem recht kräftig. Sie sieht aus wie aus einem Selbstbausatz 😂. Gefällt mir aber sehr gut. Hut ab! Danke für Deine Demonstration. Herzliche Grüße von mir aus dem schönen Görlitz!

[@peternaryd_operasinger]

Absolutely great Paul!😁👍👍

[@chrisgunther6847]

So klein und doch so wunderbar. Vielen Dank Paul Fey 👏👍🏻

[@billwesley]

Wow, what a great sounding instrument. I love large pipe organs but there can be a deleterious effect on the fine points of rhythm due to the size and the speed of sound which the smaller pipes better circumvent.

[@dersachse7482]

Einfach herrlich anzuhören. Danke Maestro Paul Fey 👌👍👏

[@RoydenWilkinson]

Dear Paul , another great tutorial of that beautiful small organ. I’ve shared this with my students. I hope you’re enjoying your time here in the USA. I’m going through all your collections that I recently received and love them all!! God bless you! Royden

[@peternaryd_operasinger]

Fantastic demonstration of this organ and beautiful performance as always Paul!😁👏👏👏👏

[@orgelschlager1159]

Sehr schön, ich hätte noch lange zuhören können. 🙏👍👌

[@gero6488]

Ein Juwel diese kleine Orgel. Tolle Demo 👌👍👏

[@rowanlidbury]

I want one.! These smaller instruments sort the "men-from-the-boys".

[@goodguythree5041]

terrific...thanks.

[@PaulFey]

Thank you! 😀

[@HorstB.-nf6nd]

Klingt wunderschön frisch 👏👍👌

[@orgelpfeife5268]

So klar und einfach wunderschön diese kleine Orgel 🙏

[@c-historia]

Vielen Dank für dieses Video, Sie sind immer hervorragend!

[@garyg6000]

Lovely. Thank you, Paul.

[@swaraneindra]

wow.....amazing organ. paul🥰🥰🥰

[@paulhoffman-music]

Getting closer to my neck of the woods.I know this church from having taught piano lessons there in its basement back in the 90s. I never got to hear this portative organ. Charming sound! For your tour of this area will you have the chance to play the mighty Hook & Hastings opus 801 at Boston’s Holy Cross Cathedral?

[@jkmedia7220]

so geil! alles dran an dem teil. und very charming präsentiert. danke paul :-) ein tastenschläger kollege

[@garywait3231]

Delightful !! As a church choirmaster and chorister with a similar size restored historic organ. I especially enjoyed your excellent demonstration Thanks !!😇😇

[@Elisabeth-r2p]

Schöne Vorstellung

[@cateclism316]

Impressive sound for such a small instrument!

[@billraty14]

The nice thing of a 4' Principal in the organists face is you don't have to blow dry your hair before you play Sunday service. Your hair will be blown dry after the first hymn...

[@PaulFey]

Exactly! 😂

[@thomasgoodwin748]

That's awesome playing!

[@jesselawson1793]

That’s really beautiful I love how you play the small organ and how you pull out the stops.

[@PaulFey]

Thank you so much! 😀

[@oliverstangl2827]

Klein und fein 🙌 wie immer toll präsentiert 👌

[@edwardhart5466]

Excellent demonstation Paul, you are just soo very gifted Paul, use your talent to the glory of our God

[@jurgenchristiaens4378]

hello dear Paul can I buy this score I think it's a very nice song

[@marcelobrunorodrigues7630]

Gruß, Paul! Ich denke du konntest auch die folgenden Kombinationen illustrieren: 1. Gedeckt 8' + Mixtur 2. Gedeckt 8' + Principal 4' + Mixtur 3. Gedeckt 8' + Rohrflöte 4' + Mixtur 4. Gedeckt 8' + Waldflöte 2' + Mixtur 5. Principal 4' + Mixtur 6. Rohrflöte 4' + Mixtur 7. Principal 4' + Waldflöte 2' + Mixtur 8. Rohrflöte 4' + Waldflöte 2' + Mixtur 9. Waldflöte 2' + Mixtur Was meinst du darüber? Allgemein ist das eine wunderschöne kleine Orgel!

[@Mutuli]

Whats the name of the piece he's playing

[@sjmmokalos01]

hello. i enjoy your video.could u pls tell me,What work are you playing?

[@jeremymarshall7381]

Ist das eine so genannte cohr orgel

[@LowCMusiq]

What piece is that you're playing at 0:57 ? Thank you!

[@guilhermeferreira2773]

What song are you playing? I would like have the partition! Thanks

[@jmalko9152]

❤️❤️❤️

[@pyramos5770]

Hallo Paul, es ist ja eigentlich in Deutschland und auf dem Kontinent allgemein unüblich die Pfeifen zu vergolden. Diese Tradition wird meines Wissens eher auf den britischen Inseln gepflegt. Gibt es da einen Zusammenhang ? Danke !

[@christopherutter7966]

How much would an organ like that cost in dollars.

[@PaulFey]

I honestly don’t know! Maybe someone here does! I‘d guess that we‘d be close to $10-15k here 😅

[@christopherutter7966]

Thank you. Ours is a small Church where we have just completed a renovation, getting rid of the pews and adding wood floors. Our organ was purchased second hand from a Masonic Temple - so even when new it wasn’t a great instrument. It is definitely showing it’s age and is in need of a refurbishment which I’m not sure is cost effective. As an Architect I loved your organ’s simple and elegant design. And as a music lover and one time chorister - many years ago - I really appreciated your organ’s sound. Again thank you. If you are able to discern anymore information about the instrument you were playing, I would find that very helpful. As a small parish our financial reserves are very limited.

[@Tobias0815]

Das Stück, mit dem du die 4'-Flöte vorgestellt hast, ist doch irgendwas von Mozart, wie ist denn der Titel?

[@stevenmayhew3944]

Your feet must have been a bit jealous not having any pedal keys to play on this organ.

[@sethdaily2811]

Cute organ, but clearly whoever takes care of it can’t seem to tune it and got lazy with the top octave of the mixture and muted it

[@carswithswagautomotive7994]

Not really. Mixtures are always one of the fastest ranks of pipes to go out of tune, yet this one seemed in pretty nice tune from what Paul demonstrated. This is also an Aeolian-Skinner, so obviously the mixture isn’t going to be voiced like a screamer neo-baroque instrument of the same size.

[@VoxAngelica8]

Lovely job Paul! If you got my email could you tell me? I just want to make sure it’s the correct email. :D
