    It's nice for such machines to be restored and used!
    The love and excitement for music can be started in many children and adults when such a sound can be produced with a dramatic flair as the concert organ can produce!
    Sadly, many of the old organs that were installed in churches have been pulled and scrapped because they were sold an electric organ, but it does nothing compared to those old machines of the past...

    I thought the main organ had seven manuals (keyboards). I see six. Could someone please clarify this? Regardless, this organ sounds phenomenal and bravo to the restoration done on it so far. I really hope they complete the work so that the organ is fully functional once again. The Wanamaker organ in Philly was fully restored so why not this organ?

    • @Charles-Reardon

      This was hit by a hurricane and abused by careless crew teams and workers (abused is a bit of an understament, its hard to belive what they did). Thats why it is in worse conidition than the Wanamaker organ. It has 7 manuals.

    • @KingdaToro
      @KingdaToro 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      It has seven. The highest one is typically hidden behind the music rack. The Wanamaker never had a lot of damage done to it, and is much more publicly visible, so it was easier for its restoration to be funded. This organ had a lot of damage done to the pipes from careless construction workers and water damage from leaky AC units, plus the basement was flooded by a hurricane in 1946 which damaged the blowers and destroyed the original combination action. The restoration is going well and is currently at 64% of the pipes playable, with a new solid-state electronic relay and combination action in place.

      France is the best place on Earth. France is best at all things,I get it. This organ is ok, but its not as good as a child's xylophone from France.

    Is that secondary console original to the boardwalk hall or is this console an Allen digital hybrid?

    • @Charles-Reardon
      @Charles-Reardon  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      If you mean the dead console, it is original. They are going to restore it and use it so that 2 organists can play the organ at once. If you meant the Kimball theater organ, it is also original. No digital organs at boardwalk hall!

    How does this compare with The Wanamaker Organ" in Philadelphia at Macy's?

      I didn’t play it haha

    • @s.p.3587

      @@Charles-Reardon Idk about you, but I want to get to play that organ, once organists feel comfortable letting me play organs anyway, with my skill level at reading piano sheet music. You’ll find this interesting; I have around 10 years experience playing piano by ear, but I am not great at reading music because I haven’t devoted nearly that much time to it. Organists want me to have adequate piano skills before I go to play organs, and I really want to play organs.

    It may be large, but that organ is a huge disaster and nightmare to restore and maintain.

      You can always tell which commenters are Wanamaker fanatics. Give it a rest. When the M-L is fully restored they will both be the world's largest instruments, but in different ways. As far as I know, there is no competition between the two.
