According to an old story, the former Chicago Stadium organ (51 sets of pipes vs. this organ's 80, but with MUCH higher wind pressures to the pipes) damaged its building. Supposedly, when a boxing mach ended with an unpopular call by the ref, the audience started rioting. The organist threw on absolutely full organ, opened the volume controls all the way, and played the National Anthem. The fight stopped, light bulbs blew out and windows cracked all over the building. So yes, a very large organ could potentially do structural damage. Usually, buildings are built to withstand the organ going in, if it's very big and/or loud... but the Chicago Stadium organ was supposed to only go up to 35" pressures, which is VERY big-- but upon installation, they realized the blower could produce some 50" wind, and they arranged six sets of pipes to play on it. (The world's largest organ, in a monstrously-large arena in Atlantic City, has ten 50" sets and four 100" sets. When it gets fully restored, it'll be a monster!)

[@ChristianSchonbergerMusic]

Well I'm sure John Williams is smiling when he sees the fantastic Jelani Eddington playing his work. Jelani is a genius both in performing and pipe rank registration (= arrangement for the theatre organ). Like many fans I would pay hard earned cash just to hear Jelani play the soundtrack to classic 20th Century movies suchb as the ones by Lucas, Spielberg and others. This man is unbelievably fantastic!!!

[@XephinaTheEleven]

If you think this is fake because, "The music doesn't line up with the keys that are pressed." Well let me tell you how pipe organs work. What you are seeing is just the console, the pipes and fans and all the other things that are actually making the music is in another room, there is a delay from when the keys are pressed till you hear the sound. So please do your research before calling this beautiful piece of music 'fake'!

[@virtualpoboy]

I noticed in the comments about "out of sync" of vid and audio, the comment about the delay from key depression and sound was accurate but there is also the deceiver most of all: 2nd touch on the accompaniment manual (lowest). When a key is pushed untill it stops, the note is played. Now, a second set of contacts and ranks available for these additional contacts is available with additional pressure on the key. The additional pressure will overcome a spring that stops the depression of the key under normal playing and allows the second set of contacts to be utilized and whatever stops are selected, they will play and are usually a melody that stands out over all else that is going on. With careful observation you will see his fingers on his left hand push the desired notes and will sound the melody among the accompaniment notes. This is typical for 3 manual(keyboards) and up, to have the accompaniment and great manual (middle on a 3 manual console) equipped this way. There is an art to using second touch for many effects beside a counter melody.

[@lohphat]

Go to Organ Stop Pizza in Chandler, AZ -- their organists can play this piece and others. Go check out their YT channel.

[@kellyklawes5890]

The tradition continues at Organ Piper Pizza in Greenfield, WI. House organist is Zach Frame, and Jelani has played there as well; one such occasion was a DTOS concert earlier this year.

[@MostlyPennyCat]

[@JonasClark]

Absolutely incredible. Hats off to Mr. Eddington, one of the best theatre organists I've ever seen or heard. Perhaps someday I'll see this genius play live; until then, I'll have to settle for these amazing videos.

[@JonasClark]

Also: I'm sure this comment will get buried soon enough, but for those who don't know, he's using several 'tricks' hard-wired in Wurlitzers and replicated on this copy of a Wurlitzer, which allow him to play more than two hands and two feet should be able to. Most important is Second Touch, which puts an additional set of sounds on contacts that engage when keys are pressed with extra force; one hand can play melody and accompaniment using that. He also uses Sostenuto, for example at 1:50 he plays a chord on the 2nd keyboard, and the notes hold as long as he keeps his toe on a lever on the edge of the swell (volume) pedal. This organ also has the ability to divide the pedalboard, giving you bass on the left and sounds coupled down from the keys on the right. Even when watching a player, these can be hard-to-spot and may make one believe there's trickery when it's in video form.

[@rowanbelt3612]

@@JonasClark Thanks for that information! I was aware of the first two features but not the divided pedalboard. Also, I had a chance to hear Mr. Eddington live a few years ago on an instrument about one-quarter the size, and I can affirm that it was an incredible experience. I don't know if I've ever seen someone play a theatre organ with such CARE. He savored every note and chord, and of course (as in this video) his registrations were outstanding, open and singing. Long live theatre organ!

[@masonjones7740]

@@JonasClark Huh, I've never heard of a divided pedalboard either. Is the split point adjustable?

The organist, Jelani Eddington, has a Yale law degree and owns a law firm in Milwaukee. His theater organ recording and sheet music business has an address in Racine, WI (my hometown), and I believe he lives in Racine. He is one of the most in-demand theater organists of our time.

[@lkrupp215]

Just so you youngsters out there understand what this is... There are NO electronic amplifiers, NO speaker cabinets, NO artificial anything. This instrument is 100% wind blown pipes, some as much as 32 ft. long. The percussions are real. Real drums, real cymbals, real xylophone, etc. This instrument has more sheer audio power in watts than any rock band could ever produce. It was designed to completely fill the giant movie palaces of the 1920s. It’s lowest pedal notes literally shake the entire building. No amplifier and paper speaker cone could ever come close to doing what these instruments do. The artist playing it here, Jelani Eddington, is one the premiere theater organists in the world today, easily in the top 5.

This brings back such memories. An organ very similar to this was in Paramount Pizza Palace in Indianapolis in the 80s. As artists would begin it would spin up from the floor and then spin back down as shown here when finished. It was an incredible organ with several percussion instruments including xylophones and marimbas. Even a bubble machine! They played a Star Wars arrangement and took requests for other songs. They never had sheet music. I was captivated as a kid. I also had the honor of meeting Jelani at camp when we were teens. He’s an amazing human being and obviously an incredible musician. So neat to see this again!

[@athompso99]

Note that he's playing what most musicians would call the "melodic" line with his left hand, not his right. This is common on pipe organs and is historically related to their construction - the "louder" pipes (aka "Swell" or "Great") were often only playable from the lower manual (keyboard rank).

[@oliviawarrington]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Totally Amazing. Thanks!

[@Dojora4]

Actually... he's playing the melodic line and chords in his left hand! The majority of theatre organs, and very, very few classical organs have what is known as 2nd touch... Two sets of springs, one more tense than the other, and two sets of contacts, allow two registrations or sets of sounds to be played on one manual..

And in the beginning that was all Vacuum or low-pressure air actuated, though in newer organs they used low-voltage electrical solenoids for faster response.
