I state categorically: In all of music the world has ever known, there is no more majestic sound than a great pipe organ played by a master who knows how to exploit its full potential. It is the GOD of musical instruments. And to properly appreciate them, they must be heard in person. When the lowest bass pedals are in use, the floor shakes. So do you.

Kill the Wabbit!

I've been learning piano for 10 years and I'm still rubbish. This is mind blowing. How can one person independently use all four limbs in such a coordinated way. Superhuman!

[@mikol.douglas]

There are few things in this world as badass as using your hands and feet in concert to play an instrument the size of a building.

[@justis9244]

The neurons in this guys brain could light up a city.

[@showproja]

PLEASE don't let these incredible instruments EVER want for artists to play them! The fact that a human being can make something this elaborate and complex sound so perfect is simply mind-boggling.

[@chrismiller5198]

I love the sound of Wagner in the morning. It sounds like.......victory!

[@raymondraptorclaw2901]

Wait… He’s playing part of it WITH HIS FEET? There’s a whole keyboard of pedals down there?? 🤣

[@Karthos1000]

I went to school with this guy. I knew he wanted to be an organist, but DEAR GOD.

[@19gregske55]

400 years ago, the pipe organ was the most complicated thing that was man-made. It stills brings up gooseflesh.

[@HunterSteel29]

Ride of the Valkyries: Usually requires a whole orchestra to play

[@theusher2893]

If this isn't played at my funeral, I ain't attending.

[@dewiz9596]

As someone who can barely “walk and chew gum” at the same time. . . Watching and listening to results of two hands and two feet in action. . . BRAVO!

[@Spartan77]

The skill required to play this solo on an organ is amazing in itself.

[@stefimandi186]

OMG!

[@michaelwilkening8542]

My first job was at a pipe organ company. The power of listening to those instruments being played incomprehensible unless you are there. All the stops and actions. It take a master to play one as good as this man does here. I remember seeing pipes from as small as my finger to ones you could almost crawl into and 20+ feet long.

[@mjlotus]

God bless the KZbin algorithm for sending this to me.

[@cymbalom]

This organist is nothing short of awesome. That’s a busy piece of music!

[@melkiorwiseman5234]

How did I manage to live this long without discovering earlier that Ride of the Valkyries has its main melody played on the organ pedals rather than on the keyboard? Magnificent sound on that organ, and expertly played by Jonathan Scott.

As a heavy equipment mechanic and lover of music this is the best combination. What a machine! In boarding school my music teacher was the organist. He would slip 'smoke on the water' in during Wednesday morning service as we filed out.
