@@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?
I wonder what the renaissance era audience would have looked like, their clothing, mannerisms, and response to the music. So intriguing. Thank you for this delightful music.
I saw the entry for this instrument on the Encyclopedia of Organ Stops, but I had never seen one played! This is an incredible piece of organ building, made only more perfect by the skill of the organist.
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.
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.

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!

@@warriormaiden9829 EXACTLY what I was thinking! Why weren't they built that way? >_>

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
