This organ.. is from the future! (Olivier Latry played it)

[@Quince828]

What a wonderful instrument. So bright and clear and with a wonderful ensemble sound . Even the clacking of the trackers is musical. It must be a joy to play and feel beneath your hands.

[@patrickrwhite8354]

I love this very old tradition of coupling the keys. I tried an old pump organ when I was 10 years old and I played jigs and reels they were very special to me on that old relic. I love your demonstrations. You play very well and are trained very well. I love this organ very much I never knew there was a FRENCH organ I thought they were all the same. Interesting to know. I can see how much you love playing the organ! It's such a powerful instrument. So many Characteristics of the voices very unique in every way. I remember when we got a new Organ in our Church "SAINT PAULS" Anglican church the New Organ had Brown instead of white keys and instead of sharps and flats being Black they were white like this organ. I loved the new look, to me it was new. I played on it a few times but as I am not trained I wouldn't call myself a church organist by any means of the word. Thank you Paul. Loved this.🎹🎹🎶🎶🎹🎹🎶🎶🎹🎹🎶🎶🎹🎹🎶🎶☃☃🏂🏂⛄⛄❄❄⛷⛷🌹🌹❤❤

[@wdolgae]

He missed one, the sound of the keys themselves! I don't play organ, but that would drive me nuts.

[@willemnviljoen]

What you’re hearing is action noise from the trackers connected to the keys. It’s very strange, when you are sitting in front of it, you don’t really notice them, but if you record with a mic close to the console, it always picks up way more action noise than you actually hear sitting there. I guess it leaks out more to the side than straight up through the keys, but I couldn’t tell you why that would be.

[@gretchenhejazi9463]

Absolutely beautiful organ. What’s with the clicking noise with the keys? As usual, your demonstration of this grand instrument is superb!

[@epincion]

Clicking is absolutely typical of the all mechanical linkage of tracker organs

[@aa-oq1ev]

@@epincion not if it's adjusted properly

[@epincion]

@@aa-oq1ev there is always a baseline clicking, certainly poor adjustment will likely make it worse

[@hjkaye]

Amazing instrument, no swell! Beautifully played. I have one little complaint, please use a mic for your recordings, I find it hard to hear your voice and crank the volume then the instrument is much too loud. Well, not really for me, but my neighbours. Thank you for the amazing demonstration and sharing your gifts of. music.

[@vesperglocke684]

Wow! Solche Instrumente machen Hoffnung für den künftigen Orgelbau. Endlich was anderes als was in deutschen Kathedralkirchen "rauf und runter" steht.

[@jesselawson6608]

Paul love more touring with the organ my love. What song are you playing with each stop?

[@PointyTailofSatan]

I have always preferred the tight sound of a case organ. I used to regularly play a small Baroque voiced 25 stop Casavant that no less than Peter Hurford declared as one of the best North German voiced organs in the world. Just goes to show that you don't 1000 ranks to be great.

[@oliverfiedler8502]

zurück in die Zukunft einer französischen Barock-Orgel...? okay, das Klappern der Tasten als Feature zu verkaufen (und nicht als Bug) kann mann bei dem wirklich wunderbaren Klang vielleicht noch nachvollziehen... aber wo war jetzt das Futur (Captain) 😎

[@PaulFey]

Futuristische Grafittischrift-Registerzüge! 😂😂

[@WarrenF48]

It is a tracker organ you are hearing the mechanical action. Not heard in the church over the pipes.

[@Boogleofbagels]

The first few seconds at the beginning of the video I thought you were playing "he's a pirate" 😅

[@derkjandehaan6306]

What about the usage of the Harry Potter font for the logo and on the stops? Is there a particular meaning to this?

[@Xogroroth666]

Why do I hear my keyboard when you're playing? Though soft? (I hammer my keys, you see ... .)

[@Xogroroth666]

Needs more 1024ᵗʰ register. :P

Somehow, the organ pipes casing reminds me of Sauron's harness...

[@Elisabeth-r2p]

Ich find das Ganze toll

[@jonwelch686]

The key action is very clanky. Otherwise the organ it is a very good example of modern construction and French Baroque voicing .

[@Hifimusicman]

Why are the keys so noisy? Surely they shouldn't sound like that. So you have a beautiful sounding organ accompanied by a constant rattling noise from the keyboard. Really? Not very well built if they can't get something like that right.

[@PaulFey]

@@Hifimusicman Naaah, a mechanical organ has to sound like that - it‘s a real action and not some electronic alternative. Since the video is recorded up close the clicking is very prominent - it is inaudible in the church itself. The recording quality is on me, so I‘m happy to take the blame 😀

[@TheBellsandwhistles]

I've got to agree with @Hifimusicman , even if your microphone is picking up the clatter more than your ear might it's still way more noisy than it needs to be. I've personally built the tracker action of several large organs and there is no need for this level of action noise. Good design, construction and regulation will make action noise inaudible even in a large mechanical chassis. That said, it's a truly astounding organ. I love the sound and the look, the whole thing is great and I'll be looking at more organs by Remy. Thanks for the video, really enjoyed it.

[@Zitat-ist-auch-nicht-mehr-das]

@@TheBellsandwhistlesDiese Orgel ist ein handwerkliches Meisterstück, vollmechanisch und ohne jedweden elektrischen oder elektronischen Schnickschnack. Die Tastaturgeräusche, das leise Rauschen der Windlade, das Surren der Seilzüge, all das gehört dazu. Sie erinnert mich an meine spanische Meistergitarre, die handwerklich in der Tradition des 19.Jahrhundertes gebaut wurde. Keine CNC-Fräse, kein elektronisch gesteuerter Cutter, sondern einfachste Werkzeuge in der Hand eines großen Meisters haben sie geschaffen. Im Ergebnis spricht sie mit mir. Genauso erlebe ich diese Orgel, als wenn sie mit ihrem Spieler spricht. Die Nebengeräusche sind Teil dieses Gesprächs.

[@TheBellsandwhistles]

@@Zitat-ist-auch-nicht-mehr-das I'm glad you like it, as you rightly say it is a masterpiece by a great craftsman. My comment was simply that it is not necessary to have action noise in a mechanical action. It is common, and if you like that then I have no problem with that. My personal taste (which I'm not trying to convert anyone to) if for silent action if possible so I can hear the beauty of the voicing. I love your idea of a conversation between organ and organist, pipe organs certainly speak to me in ways that electronic instruments don't!

The pipes are lovely, but the keyboards are very noisy… tap, tap, tap!

[@williammcghee863]

As wonderful as the sounds of this organ, with the exception of the anoying 'clicking' sounds coming from the keyboards, why do organ builders and the organizations that pay for these organs build instruments that fetishize the mechanical difficulties of the past? Why build instruments that make playing the instrument harder than it already is, and needs to be? I know that in the "organ world" there is a turf war still going on between real pipes vs digital, and I like both, but I'm not talking about that battle so much as I am about churches and concert halls building these clunky instruments with nobs, drawbars, mechanical doo-dads etc. which an organist has to work into their routine in order to not make a mess of their playing? Instruments that are almost brand new but unintentionally (intentionally?) made harder to play? What musical Lego Land do these designers and planning committees live in?

[@epincion]

You are not dictator of the world people can choose whatever they want

[@billraty14]

Please be very careful not to cast a polite comment from a renowned performer into an enthusiastc endorsement. This instrument is top heavy, underscaled, poorly voiced, and has inferior (why bother) reed tone. A Gamba shouldn't chiff, and it also shouldn't be so quiet that the sound of the trackers moving drowns out the steady tone of the rank at the console. This emperor is scantily clad, perhaps not naked, but certainly wearing a bathing costume that is lacking adequate modesty.

[@PaulFey]

@@billraty14 Are you sure about that? Which kind of organ style did you grow up with and where are you from? I think this adds much to the equation - I personally think that its a very wonderful approach to a french (pre-) baroque instrument. I feel like it was well balanced, the recording doesnt do it justice.

[@billraty14]

@@PaulFey I grew up with the sound of the Aeolian-Skinner of the Mormon Tabernacle, which was branded as "American Classic", (a polyglot), to serve musically, but not necessarily authentically, all national schools, but effectively is mostly English after Willis, with additional mutations and adjustments in balancing. Alexander Schreiner was the organist of the SLC Tabernacle during the late 1940s rebuild, and he studied under Louis Vierne at Notre Dame in the early 1930s. The foundation stops of the Great are named "Montre". The reeds are claimed to be "French", but really they're not much different than EM Skinner, and certainly are dissimilar to the Cavaillle-Coll at St Sernin in Toulouse. Flues do quite well on lower wind pressures (3.5-4.5 inches of wind), but romantic reed tone usually requires higher wind pressures for good singing tone (7.5 - 15 inces), which is problematic with mechanical note action. Cavaillle-Coll had the Barker lever to get past that limitation. The Tabernacle at the time of the late 1940s rebuild had electro-pneumatic pitman chests. I haven't heard if Schoenstein changed the wind chests on the Tabernacle when Jack Bethards brillantly rebuilt the instrument in 1988-1989.

@@PaulFey recording an organ is a black art because microphones, even the best, aren't human ears, which are innately spectrum analyzers (cochlea) attached to a neural network.
