My 2 Year Vivarium Update.
มุมมอง 1.5Kปีที่แล้ว
After completing my vivarium in 2020, it began to leak through a seam at the base. I had to empty the tank in order to seal it. I decided to take this opportunity to remove the large plastic false bottom and replace it with clay hydro-balls. I also added a pump and ran a hose into the backdrop for a small waterfall. 2 years later and the backdrop is covered in Ficus Pumila Quercifolia. Other pl...

Video document of my first Bio-active Tropical Vivarium build. A 5 month project. Update: the tank started leaking water within a month of completion. I had to disassemble it, dry and clean the glass and provide a new Silicon seal. In this process I decided to replace the plastic false bottom with hydro-balls & introduce a pump. The new vivarium setup (not seen here) has a small ground level wa...

I don't know if all of these were wood burning but I think the ones that do offer an advantage that is overlooked nowadays. With their fuel being wood and water, you actually have fuel that may never run out. There may be better kinds of fuel but I don't know of any that you can grow yourself. The cost to grow a sufficient amount of trees may not be cheap but I think the peace of mind of having a self-sustaining fuel source may be worth it. Either way cool tractors, I'd love to see them do a tractor pull. I wonder what the max weight the can pull is.
That’s good
What an AWESOME video. One of the best I've seen in a while. I'd love to go inside it myself.
Cool tractor show 🤠 I didn’t know they had them in California 😎👍
My goodness, that’s Bill! He’s the organist for my church, great guy. He’s recently been hospitalized due to a car crash (he’s alright, just a few cracked ribs). I’m sure he’d appreciate yall’s prayers 🙏
Thank you for this update on Bill. I hope he makes a full recovery and returns to the keys soon. He’s created joy for so many people with his music.
Horrible row
The Spreckels organ is supported by volunteers and donations. If you see something you do not like. Get involved and be a part of the historic instrument’s legacy. Disconnected Negativity is never constructive.
ya if u guys could answer what song is 6:41 in the video i was looking for it everywhere I don't know what it is.
A fan tremulant?? I'm a FAN!
There's a smaller version of that fan tremulant in my old worcester reed organ. Simple but amazing.
パイプオルガンの作りが良くないか 演奏者が原因か 教会の音響環境が悪いのか 私にはあまり良い響きには聞こえません。
the guy at 4:41 saying wwoooow woow wow so many times is funny lol but yeah its a rlly confusing mechanic actually the bar u see on the side on all of the keys probably gets controlled by stop for example when he pulls a stop the bar moves and makes it so it will open all keys from that rank
Terrible !! No feeling,. It just became a jumbled mess. Listen to a recording of the master.
Wow 🤩 very, very nice 👍👏👏👏
That sounds like a very difficult instrument to play well !!!
It makes me happy to see an Organ in excellent condition good job to the people that keep This amazing instrument in working order
He raises to an F# for a Picardy Third at the end of the video. Bach left it at D min but I liked this better, sorry Bach.🙃
That looks fantastic!
This piano was destroyed in the fire at John Oliver restaurant at Mount eagle Tennessee!
Decades ago I was with a group of church musicians who attended a Sunday afternoon recital of the organ. Afterward we were given a tour of the instrument including going into the Austin Universal Chest. The organ was not being played while we were in the chest. The organ is a treasure in San Diego. I believe there is an Austin in the San Francisco Civic Auditorium and Westminster Presbyterian Church in Pasadena has a smaller Austin. Wonderful instruments.
Correction: there WAS an Austin in the SF Civic, but it now sits 95% restored, in pieces underground in Brooks Hall.
Never seen anything like this before ❤
It is amazing that this wonderful instrument has been kept in fine condition all of these years. There is a Wonder Morton in the Balboa Theatre nearby.
that is a really big Zoo. I am sure you had a fun day.💖😀
That looks like so much fun
It is quite nice. If you fear heights it can be intimidating.
Cool! Looks fascinating
picter
these are cool & all, but i prefer when you play guitar for enter shikari
idk if i love or hate YT recommendations
you should do a little bit of a retrospective or explanation of them. this short video has a good youtube friendly aesthetic if you can do it in a little longer form. those types of videos pop off.
very cool
Fellow collector of old cameras, these are super cool.
nice cameras
I love this!
Still hard to believe he ends BWV565 in a major chord. Fastastic old, super well maintained instrument. 107 years old now in 2022.
Haha, I noticed that also. What an instrument.
I have this exact same one and this is the only thing that I have found on it. I can't find it on the internet any where else
Sounds better inside that out! Truly awful sounding thing.
You should visit. The old iPhone microphone does not do it justice.
The organ is quite impressive. It speaks into the outdoors with no acoustical benefit to speak of. Other than than some buildings a quarter of a mile away that create some subtle reverberation as the sound is reflected back. This effect is not reproduced well on a phone.
Anybody know what it's worth. I have one working in excellent condition
In today’s market. this rare console (in great working condition) would probably sell for $1400. Maybe more.
I have one as well in working condition. Have you been able to find out any more information about it?
This is at Balboa Park
That spreckles organ is definitely NOT original. There are chests in there that are NOT Austin and the electronics switching looks like Peterson equipment (About the best you can get) Love the PVC sewer pipe used for wind lines. Austin would die if he could see that. They are doing a nice job of destroying the original organ. That Diaphone is... awful. Music played too fast.
There have been chests added by others. But the Austin chest are intact and had replacement pneumatics supplied by Austin a few years ago.
Amazing video 😊
Love those skinny vox Celeste pipes combined with the tremulant.
👍.....been there...done that.
May I ask how much you sold it for? I have the exact same one but the stereo is not in working condition. Would love to send it to someone else that have more knowledge to restore this beautiful piece!
It’s rare, you should fix it properly to get the sound this stereo is supposed to deliver
I miss this console, it is by far the most unique one I ever had. It was sold to a serious collector and restored several years ago. So happy to know it’ll be around for a long time. Maybe I’ll see it again in the future and make a new video.
That's clearly an Austin windchest. Did Austin and Spreckels collaborate or did Spreckels rebuild the instrument or re-use Austin windchests?
Austin built the organ from scratch and made many of the additions such as the 32’ Contra Bombarde on Austin chests, as well as the mixtures (some of the only bearded mixtures in the world) some of the additions such as the Tibias were added by Lyle. 98% of the organ is Austin and is reflected in our blue prints. We also made and supplied all of the play actions used to reaction the organ you see at work. None of which is to detract from Lyle’s works keeping the organ in top shape.
It's called the Spreckels organ in honor of its donors, the Spreckels family (who made their fortune in the cane sugar business). BTW, they also donated the Skinner organ at the California Palace of the Legion of Honor art museum in Lincoln Park in San Francisco.
I LOVE the 32' Contra Bombardes in the pedal
Is the 32 foot contra bombarde basically the 32 foot trumpet or trombone reed?
@@oludotunjohnshowemimo434 The name "Bombarde" in American organs usually implies something bigger than a trumpet, but smaller than a trombone.
Very nice. Here on the East Coast, Atlantic City, NJ. Whelan Boardwalk Hall features a 1929 Midmer - Losh organ, with 7 manuals and over 33, 000 pipes
Johnny Zeee, The Midmer-Losh organ is an Opus 5550, it has 7 blowers and wiring that will span this earth twice and the lowest pipe is 64' in length and produces a sound of five CCCCC octave and it's called: Dulzian. The Grande Ophecleide pipe is so powerful of a sound that it literally drowns out all other pipe sounds at a 100" of wind pressure. This organ has a total of 33,114 pipes!
@@williammitchell1864 Yes. Have been to the Boardwalk Hall tour. Worked next door to the Hall for 13 years at the Plaza.
This organist played Toccata and Fugue in D minor way too fast! Horrible🤢🤮
The Midmer Losh organ is quite a cliché to mention.. It’s the worlds largest organ, along with the Wanamaker organ.
@@Engineer9736 Let's hope it will be fully functioning and playable in about another 5 years time. Sadly, so much damage from the '44 and ' 62 storms, and later neglect to be repaired.
What is the name of that music at the start of the video. It is amazing
The Brougham Gamer it is the Toccata from Suite Gothique by Leon Boellmann
@@richw456 just looked it up and I love it!!!! Thank you so much!
thank you so much from czech republic.to je kurva dobrý song
Great video and great organist (much better then woman on another videos...)! Thank you for this...
Seems fairly useless as a piece of furniture. That's probably why I've never seen one before. It may be valuable. I'll bet they didn't sell many of them. RCA made great TVs. Lousy stereos. Magnavox made great stereos. Lousy TVs. GE was the 'go to" for appliances. Everyone else was fairly superfluous.
Sweet Victory (50 Subscriber Special)
The speed RUINED this performance. It’s ridiculously fast, and the lack of acoustics doesn’t do this piece well. Thumbs DOWN
I agree. It’s way too fast. Sounds like a recording that’s been sped up. Widor never intended for this piece to be played like this.
@@bobbyb9263 Yes, this was way too much of a “race to the finish line” rendition! Widor was reportedly opposed to playing this piece like this.
@@citylimits8927 It’s certainly virtuosic playing here, purely for entertainment and crowd pleasing.
Sounds like an attempt to break a speed record. Does anyone remember tico tico that was treated in the same way. So fast that it was impossible to sing to it as intended.
