(Buzzed.)
@@joshuakuehn I can't figure out what sort of exchange is happening. Is the Apfelregalist scorning him for doing it wrong? Praising his consistency? Or is there something more?
Amazing, this instrument seems to be a distant relative to harmonium (reed organ) that travelled to the East from Europe, became more portable and took a significant place in some styles of Indian classical music. I didn't know that this group of instruments in full size is still being operated. Such an intricate skill to play it! The cooperation between the player and the bellow operator is also remarkable! Thank you for this!
This instrument is a recent reproduction of an old instrument, made by an organ builder from Austria. The video description says, that he had only a picture of the organ and that picture was made in the year 1519 with the technique of wood engraving (that wood engraving resulted in a print plate which could be used to print the picture together with letters on a page). So it is a very rare instrument. (The organ builder who reconstructed this Apfelregal recently (orgelbau-koegler) has made several church organs, and I am guessing - it's just a guess, that he might have had some additional information how Apfelregals were made, what kind of pipes were used for them. And with his knowledge about pipe organs he could build this Apfelregal reconstrution - that's my guess).
Do you mean the Sheng (笙) or Yu (竽) as the distant relative to reed organs? If so, it's very curious how modern free reeds instruments underrated resonating pipes, unless organ-like ones with beating reeds. There's some Hohner Claviola working somewhat, using free reeds either.
I've been very critical of the TH-cam algorithm, so credit where it's due, this was a great recommendation. I didn't want to listen to the whole thing as music, but I love that YT allows me to hear a lovingly restored very old instrument.
Meine Tochter lernt gerade zu Hause diverse, auch mittelalterliche Instrumente kennen. Eigentlich sollten die Kinder laut Lehrplan einen Wandertag machen, um verschiedene Instrumente live zu hören, aber der fällt unter den gegebenen Umständen natürlich aus. Ich bin sehr dankbar, dass so viele Musiker das Weltpublikum übers Internet teilhaben lassen an ihrem Spiel. Wir hören zwar viele Film- und Computerspielsoundtracks, in denen oft außergewöhnliche Instrumente vorkommen, aber das Instrument zu sehen, während es gespielt wird, ist nochmal was vollkommen anderes. Ich wollte Sie nur wissen lassen, dass Sie uns den erschwerten Alltag in der Kriese erleichtern und mich dafür herzlich bedanken.
Wunderbar! This is completely unrelated, but I am learning German and I loved reading your comment and picking out what I could understand 😊 Thank goodness for translators and dictionaries for the rest! But anyway. I agree that seeing the instruments that create those unique sounds is a real treat. And I do really love the passion that so many musicians have for their art that they go out and find or recreate these lost instruments to share with us!
Super! Endlich mal ein Instrument, welches den Ursprung der Orgel dokumentiert und zeigt, dass Zungenstimmen die ersten Orgelregister waren und sich am Instrumentarium der damaligen Zeit orientierten, um sie auf der Orgel zu imitieren! Bravo!
Wouw that is something very different. Never heard and seen a instrument like this one. The sound is a huge surprise and puts me back to the 15 century, thats the feeling I have. Really a very beautiful sound and its pure enjoyment listening to it. Thank you for charing.
A sound from a different world. In the olden days one had to work for their music: build it, tune it, & play it. Am mush the wiser for doing this myself.
Judging by the organ’s sophisticated sound and appearance, I would guess it modeled after 16th century instruments at the earliest. The bellows are amazing. It is a treat to hear and see such an instrument played so well. Thank you You Tube for this surprise!
AFAIK keeping it in tune was the most difficult task to make a regal instrument (which reeds swing asymmetrical and so howl by wind pressure change). That's why it took so long to make usable harmonium and harmonica (which reeds swing symmetrically but lack that sawtooth timbre).
Herzlichen Dank ! Als Alter Hase auf der Orgelbank habe ich vor 50 Jahren zuletzt im Klotz - Orgelbaubuch vom "Apfelregal" gelesen und konnte mir nichts darunter vorstellen. Inzwischen hat sich sooo viel getan in der Szene , daß man staunen muß und der Alten Musik ehrfürchtig und ergriffen lauscht ! Dazu noch die Ungleichschwebung ! Himmlisch !
imagine being home alone and desperately want to play your apfelregal
Haha😂
You could lift up the bellows, and rush to the other side to play for a few seconds, then rush back and lift the bellows again. Rinse and repeat like a madman for an impressive and captivating performance. Add in some comedy and it's Mr. Bean playing the Apfelregal.
Or just rig up a set of pedals that you can step on as you play, connected to the bellows. Kind of like a pedal parlor organ. :)
@@warriormaiden9829 EXACTLY what I was thinking! Why weren't they built that way? >_>
Pro tip: Buy an electric blower. :-P
This sounds like the distant ancestor of the Otamatone, and not just because of the little “faces” that the pipes have! It’s cool!
Oh my gosh! You’re right haha
HOLY SHIT YOU’RE RIGHT! You also just activated my paraiedolia (seeing faces in nonhuman objects) that’s heightened by my autism.
But it also is the faces like it's the same mouth and cheek dots
@spitfirebird I didn't know that had a name.... I think the "apfel" is referring to the appleish shape of those facey things
@spitfirebird I'm autistic too but thank god I don't have heightened paraiedolia
