you can play on it. museum open times link in the description
Full version of the backing music and out of tune adagio is available link in description.
if you dont play the Interstellar Main Theme on it i don't know whats wrong with u as it would fit so perfectly
could you play the 'stranger things' theme on it? Imagine it to sound great
Adagio for strings - banger!
@@eliotmansfield adagio for organ!
I'm trying to figure out how to go to your museum from the United States. I guess I'll need a row boat. Hmm... =) Thanks for sharing your life with us.
Lovely breakdown of organ function. Honestly my favourite series you have done.
Mine too!
A breakdown of organ function while I personally am having a mental breakdown trying to finish this haha
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER Whats the part you struggle most with? The electronics that it used to have? Or?
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER The brain is an organ too, eh wot?
simply stuns, amazing
the original loop you made with the organ, that is now the back track to these videos, is so sick. I love it so much! You should play around with some more songs with this organ midi set up.
totally, it has that Philip Glass style. So good.
It's like Phillip Glass with a little salad fingers vibe going on.

Absolutely agreed 👍🏻
The smoke machine is definetely a great way to find all of the air leaks (apart from giving it the amazing "movie-villain steam powered organ" look :-)
The smoke fluid is mainly water and ethylene glycol, so I doubt it will cause much harm. But frequent use could cause a little bit of residue on the surfaces.
Yep that’s what we thought. The odd use wouldn’t harm it. It’s not practical to use regularly anyway
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER what if you plumbed the smoke machine directly Into the "valve boxes" for lack of a better term and had the air pressure pull it through the system rather than throwing it through the pump and having more than you actually need in the system. You could probably even rig up individual vape pens in the box for each rank that you can turn on and off with midi so you're not left with an excess. There are special effects vapourisers made specifically for DIY stuff.
mmmm, ethylyne glycol, yummy.(don't)
@@jpjapers the biggest issue is buildup of gunk on the valves and pipes. I’m probably going to leave this experiment where it is now. Also the only part of the system not under pressure is behind the pump. Everywhere else the smoke wouldn’t sufficiently work

I'm a church organist and this is one of the best explanations of electro-pneumatic action I have ever seen. I absolutely love this series!
Closing the top of the pipe not only lowers the octave but it also only lets out odd harmonics, so it sounds more like a triangle / filtered square vs the open diapason which has both odd and even, much like a filtered sawtooth…!
Yep. The pipe doesn't quite contain one full wavelength.
E.g.: images.app.goo.gl/JGxSkzqy7NsHZZEVA
As a trained pipe organ tuner/technician, I find your series to be delightfully entertaining. You are intelligent, resourceful, and have a keen sense of humor. It will be a hoot (and a toot) to see what you do with it when you get it completed. The microphone picked up mostly the second harmonics of the lowest pipes.
I have worked with amplifiers, sound, domestic and pro audio for most of my life and also repairing electronic organs. I've often heard people banging on about how their subwoofer goes all the way down to 10 Hz or some magical figure and I get blank looks when I tell them that few people can actually hear (or know what) frequencies below about 80 Hz truly sound like. For the most part they are hearing (and feeling) the harmonics, not the fundamental which at such low frequencies is more of a sensation than an actual sound.
That’s not how yew dew it saaaaam 😡😡😡
@@sw6188 I can guarantee you my 6m long tapped horn subwoofer tuned at 14hz ( @120db) can reach that low...
@@sigibaes Yes, it probably can but that wasn't my point, which was that few people actually know what frequencies below about 80 Hz actually sound like. There are plenty of things that can reproduce a frequency below 50 Hz, but few people know what the fundamental of that frequency actually sounds like because in most instances all they are hearing are harmonics.
What do you reckon would happen if you made a clear pipe and ran it with smoke? Would you be able to see the standing wave? That would be cool, especially if you made the pipe's length tunable.
“The furter you get it in, the higher the note becomes”
😏
That "you don't know what you're doing" voice is hilarious great work excited to see more
This is how Snoop Dogg writes all his songs
Adagio for strings sound amazing on all the slightly mistuned pipes, getting some seriously beautiful dissonance!
This guy saved me from doing a sound search. 👍🤣👍 Thanks!
@@JerR22 Yeah, Barber Adagio - pretty recognizable instantly (for those that know). Those low notes in the base line really benefit from the lower register pipes!

Whilst it would obviously have been lovely to see this church organ sympathetically and laboriously restored to its original state, you make a valid point that the whole thing was destined for a skip, so making it work again by any means necessary is a much better fate than that!
You have done a wonderful job of reconstruction, giving the organ a second lease of life, and allowing it to provide fun and entertainment for the museum visitors.
I am bringing it back to its original state. Sound wise. Just much more practically modern. Like nearly all restored modern organs
Church organs run like this too
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER
It does indeed sound great, good job!
PS: Adding the smoke machine was hilarious. Great for finding air leaks too!
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER Exactly! When the organ was restored recently at Canterbury (I have a few of the original sound boards which they were chucking out) all the connections between the console and the pipes is now via highly encrypted wi-fi, I assume acting on solenoids much like yours.
Yes. I think the MIDI/Arduino/Solenoid upgrade is a good choice. The most important thing is to make this organ playable again. It's nice to retain some of the quirky original mechanisms. But some of them are simply impractical compared to modern components.
I approve of the simplified valves, probably work better too.
If they had the option they would have done that from the beginning..
Simple is always even the organ builders from yesterday would agree!
Yeah all he is doing is prolonging it’s useable time. It was already modified so doing more modifications doesn’t do much harm. Also making it easier to maintain.
There is a strange "octave up" on opening, I wonder if the original valves had it or was the transition smoother
@@Yorick257 That's what organists call 'Chiff' it's quite normal, adds to the sound of the rank.
There's something about a whole load of pipes/flutes that is so much more interesting to the ear than digital recreations of organs.
I think most digital recreation don't do well at capture the "breathiness" of the pressure changes in the system.. each combination of key is going to create different pressure waves, and waves reflecting around in the air channels etc to give it that slight variation you cant easily simulate
Tuning as well. You can recreate a perfect instrument from hypersampling and modelling etc, but the slight tuning issues from pressure fluctuations in the pump and just general imperfections in the pipes adds to that real sound. Love it!
It’s the imperfections that make an instrument that much more beautiful
@@trotskiftw The Hauptwerk digital organ system uses real audio samples recorded from real organs around the world including the breathiness and clattering of the mechanisms. The "wet" samples also include the natural reverb of the church. I have this on my DIY digital pipe organ at home. It sounds very very good, but is a fantastic way to find the shortcomings in your subwoofer very quickly. Nothing beats the real thing though.
@@theSam91 subwoofer and descent speakers a amp helps a lot to, as a pose, two little speaker in a laptop, or some cheap pad, with one mono speaker?

So the smoke machine is like a chorus pedal for a pipe organ. Love it.
I don't remember what it's called but some organs have a motorized box that I think pushes a bellows back and forth to create a chorus-like detuning effect. This has to be the coolest project I've seen on TH-cam!
I was thinking the same thing!
A chorus pedal... slash... gas chamber. D:
Yep, makes things more "gothic"!
@@tl880linux Larger organs might just have entire extra ranks of deliberately slightly detuned pipes for the chorus effect. Vibrating bellows on the other hand are used for a tremolo effect (a.k.a. what guitarists, due to Leo Fender's musical illiteracy, would call "vibrato")
I've said it before and ill say it again. i just love how with everything you pick up, you have knowledge to share along with it, even if youre learning as you go. it makes your videos so interesting. i love your channel. cant wait to see what youre working on next!
I love seeing the way you interact with the instrument, paying attention to all its intricacies almost like it's a living being, which it kinda is. The wooden parts used to be trees that somebody could climb and a person bought those newspapers.
All musical instruments are living things with the artest performer it's soul that brings it to life and imparts joy to all who witness the miracle of music.
Your rapid fire way to explain pipe organs is excellent! I also love your "doubters" voice. You must receive so many comments telling you you're "doing it wrong". Clearly you don't need to be told to ignore them, because you continue to do amazing things. This is one of my favourite music series on YT now. I can't wait to see it at completion. God Addagio for Strings sounds amazing on it.
It's a bit of a meme at this point. There's a part of me that wants to add "you're doing it wrong" and "not like that, like this" to most of his videos, not that I actually feel that way
@@marctorres7182 , I think the dictionary and encyclopeda should be amended so that if you look up the word auto-didact, you'll find a picture of Sam!
12:07 Watching Sam looks baffled while Adagio for Strings plays on the church organ and the room fills up with smoke...
This is why I subscribed to this channel. Great content!
I bet actual organ builders are either absolutely delighted by this or absolutely beside themselves with rage, i also think that some of them change camps depending on what section of the video they are watching.
either way, i am not an organ builder, and i absolutely love it.
I think at the end of the day he saved an organ that nobody else was lining up to save, so that's gotta count for something with critics.
...and to reach organ Nirvana, add some 'laser bright' RGB-cycling LEDs in each pipe pointing upwards! As each note plays it illuminates the pipe internally (emitting a circle on the ceiling, and esp at the mouth) - and with any smoke too, it'd be pure colourgasmic.
Adding red led’s :)
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER maybe colour code the tones. Then when played in the dark the lighting in the whole room changes when a different part comes in, I imagine.
AI will say please do, you could almost run em off the Solenoids voltage
I can't tell if you're batshit crazy or a genius. I'm leaning toward both. It seems you have this way of just doing what comes to mind.
I love this project.
The smoke machine is a great way to search for leaks, loving the videos on this
These modifications don’t ruin it at all. The way I see it is it was already modified before you even got it so further modifying it isn’t hurting it further and you are prolonging it’s life and giving it new life in a way. Keep it up I love seeing you play around with this beautiful sounding pipe organ.
It's more ownership and mastery than destruction. There's clear follow-through and improvement. They can look similar at certain junctures, and I get how people may be afraid that things do just get destroyed, looking at youtube culture (e.g. guy who makes meme pianos by destroying worthless pianos).
@@superchroma Yeah I can see that. It's the same thing here if he hadn't taken this one in nobody would have taken it and it was already pretty damaged as it was so his modifications are only making it work and they make it last far longer than it would have without him. He is doing pretty good fixing it up to working order others should just stop crying over it and be happy that he is bringing an organ back to a working state so he can share it to the world.
@@crazyguy_1233 well, that's people. We like to criticize. It's how we're built. The answer is to be cautious but confident and just do things and ignore people.
@@superchroma Yeah I guess that's always going to be a thing.
After seeing the amazing work you've put into this it's just made me scratch my head and wonder even more, how on earth it was possible to build this into that house. Now that would have made one hell of a TH-cam video series if the guy did that now instead of 50 years ago.
Really would love to see more from the Organ once it's set up, your little track that is now the backing to this whole ordeal is such a great vibe!
This series has been incredible. Learning about how pipe organs work from the inside out isn't something I realized I needed.
How many music-makers can claim to have a church organ at their disposal? This is awesome as hell! Looking forward to see what you'll do with it
Looking forward to the album to come off this organ sometime! 🤩
@@luminumII Same here! Together with Sam's musicality and other electronic gear it would truly be something unique
I mean, just become an organist at a church.
Yeah sick, also if he wanted this can be rented for record stuff for other artists 😉 i just wanted listen veridis quo in this shit, I'm totally sure would sound equaly or way impressive than the original one
@@lutboy2909 it's not far off being hooked up to an Internet connection I'm sure... then people could buy time on it like an old mainframe: send midi in, get audio back! Church-organ-as-a-service.
I genuinely love the idea of someone in the future with know knowledge of what's been done to this organ having to figure out the 3d printed and electronic parts added to it 😊 hopefully it tells a story
The chest for the big flutes is a "double primary electro-pneumatic" chest. Instead of a large, powerful solenoid, instead, it uses a small, low power solenoid which sends air to a pneumatic valve. That valve then sends air to a 2nd larger valve, and that sends air to the pipe. All the chest might have been like that at some point. But its common to convert to larger solenoids when the pneumatic valves fail. Low power solenoids made sense 100 years ago when electrical grids were unreliable
"For someone who doesn't know what he's doing " the words of a genius , was convinced this would never work again but here it is , respect to you and whoever originally added the electrics , between you both you saved this organ from being scraped and now it's in its rightful place to be enjoyed .
I think the fundamental disconnect here is that people with experience sometimes become convinced that the tried-and-tested methods are the only feasible methods. And sometimes they're right. Sometimes new ideas turn out to be bad. But sometimes we need the perspective of younger beginners with knowledge of new technologies and other fields. It can bring innovation.
It must be really cool to have a lot of room to have a legit pip origin I always dreamed of playing a real church origin!!!
yep. its a great opportunity. however it has caused a lot of chaos
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER I thought "caused a lot of chaos" was the general premise of the channel?
@@TheAverageDutchman , You win the Internet for the day!
Well then you'd better book a trip to Ramsgate.
This is amazing! I had organ tuition as a teenager, which included both the music and the technology of the instrument (I learned on a fully mechanical instrument - levers and strings, no solenoids!) so I was fully aware that a stopped diapason sounds an octave lower than an open diapason of the same length. However, I’ve never blown through a pipe myself, or put my hand over the end of one while it is sounding, and that was such a useful demo for musicians and physicists alike. Better than most of the demos we had in GCSE/A-level physics!
Likewise the smoke test: I was theoretically aware that the majority of the airflow through the pipe comes out of the slot on the front and there is very little net flow out of the top of the pipe, but I’ve never actually *seen* it with my own eyes until now.
Thanks for your hard work on the organ build, thanks for sharing your progress, and thanks also for bringing the often-snooty world of classical music and organ building to a whole new audience.
At least you have a great leak detection setup now lol
not many could do such project, the perfect mix of muscial skills, engineering, bit invention, and alot genius.
play darude sandstorm on that! it would sound amazing! use the base pipes too for the song
Absolutely love this series. Such a kick ass blend of old and new, really looking forward to your music with the whole thing put together!
What an ideal way to find all the remaining leaks!
At the very least, you've demonstrated a new technique for organ repairers to find leaks in the air supply system.
Dude the background music you slapped together as demo for the pipes is so cool!
Any chance of mixing it and putting it out on spotify or something? :D
Keep going brother!
Philip Glass would be proud!
Koyaanisqatsiiiiii
@@MechanicalMooCow PowerSquatsi....
I would call the weird valve setup a pilot-operated valve and I can think of two possible reasons for them: (But they are just guesses)
1) Maybe they are an older set of pipes from an older organ where the console was entirely mechanical and due to the limited size, smaller valves within the console needed to operate the larger valves within the wind chest.
2) The pipes on this wind chest require so much air that the valve needs to open far more than the little solenoid valves could.
I think it's #2. a pnumatic relay, like power assist brakes.
I think it may be both.
Also I think it made it easier to switch on and off different banks or combinations of banks, by just disabling the air to the second/third stages
@@zbradbell yep there is a big box for that it’s actually turning off the air to the whole box
Could those valves be intended to have expression with varying air flow, rather than simply being full open or full closed? It'd be a bit akin to how velocity works on some electronic keyboards. Could be done with electronic solenoids, but getting it to work would be a bit more tricky than a full-open/shut setup. Would take some RC vehicle servos or voice coils rather than a simple plunger type doodad. And of course some more fun in figuring out how to drive the things.
Decades ago I was part of a group of people who transplanted a theatre organ from a cinema (which was changing to a bingo hall) to a community centre. This series is bringing it all back!
Once you’ve dealt with the air leaks (smoke machine is a brilliant method of detecting) of your organ, you might try a science experiment to verify a recent discovery.
Organ builders have known for centuries that the actual tone on open pipes is lower than the anticipated pitch based on pure mathematical computations from the standard physics equations. Pipe makers just added a correction factor then used normal tuning methods to fine tune the pitch without knowing the actual cause.
Recently, someone blew cigarette smoke into a pipe and a smoke vortex was observed above the end of the pipe, effectively extending the air column and lowering the pitch.
Look at that list of patrons! Good job bro. You deserve it. You bust your ass making these videos and it's cool so many are willing to back you. I myself have planned on supporting you on Patreon since I found your videos a few months ago. Alas, the financial situation we in the US (as well as pretty much everywhere) are experiencing has delayed my plans. But I will make it on that list and I'm glad so many others are willing to as well. Keep up the amazing work brother!
All good mate! Thanks tho :)
I love it! This is such an exciting series!
In the end when Sam's coughing and the slow dramatic organ music is playing, it's like a movie scene were a character is about to die, and Sam has to get out and save himself though he would have rather tried to rescue his friend.
The thing I loved most about the pipe organ project is how during the first video I was completely convinced that there was no way to get this back together and working and you did it faster than I moved from the couch to the living room.
this is epic Sam. I can Remember getting to play with the large pipe organ room at our local church. it was easily 2 or 3 rooms worth of pipes. even after watching you rebuild one it still seems like magic.
Had to turn my subwoofer on to hear the low notes but man do they sound nice👍🏻
Sam, I love it when you poke fun at the naysayers. Your "You don't know what you are doing, Sam" short had me in stitches. No really, I nearly wet myself laughing! Smoke machine a great idea and will of course help you find leaks. The rendition of Adagio for Strings at the end sounded really lovely.
Keep up the good work!
"saaaaaaaaammmmm yur jus don't know what urrr doooo iiiinnngggg". Lol 😂 loved when you sang that little song in your previous video! This pipe organ restore is really truly awesome! Keep modernizing it and breathe new life into an older instrument! This is what music and creativity is all about
Ahh! There goes the rest of the pipes.
amazing. I'll say the people saying you dont know what you are doing dont know what they are saying! Love it. Such a nice project. BTW: 3D-Printing is such a cracy thing. Mounting the new valves would hav been such a mess just 10 years ago. I want so to see more organ vids :-)
3D printing was there 10 years ago as well, and so does CNC routers. Basically what technology advancement have done is making all these accessible at home.
The smoke coming out of the pipes is so freaky. It's a good way to spot air leaks in the system as well.
And I think the flutes are too low for your microphone to pick up, so this organ could be a cool way to test the bass response of microphones.
This has been a really great series so far, I didn't expect it to be so fun.
As an instrument restorer, I am delighted to see this organ playing music again! I could imagine that the fact that the lowest notes "vibrate you more than your ears" is because the room where they are placed is simply too small to develop its wave length. Cheers!
You're simply amazing! hahahah. Beautiful explanation regarding tubes and waves, I'm having fun and learning things every day (every video) with you. Thanks mate and keep it up!
Edit: after seen the brilliant adaptation to use solenoids, and the way it all looks together with the smoke and music... It's like a living version of a steampunk movie. AMAZING.
The smoke idea is great, You can get fast dissipating smoke fluid, Also get water based fluid to help the organ and stop the alarms going off as much... I wonder what low fog or Dry ice does?
Would probably detune it VERY quickly. Organs are finnicky at the best of times with ambient temperature changes, so pumping freezing air through it would have a pretty immediate effect I suspect. :)
dry ice would look great but it's also a great way to pass out and die if you pump a small enclosed room full... the CO2 vapor displaces all the oxygen and before you know it you're out cold
I love how you felt sorry for the valves, when replacing them with solenoids.
really impressed by the 3D printed mechanical solution at around 6 minutes; I need to learn how to do this
This is awesome! Do you plan on eventually setting up a legit organ console or it's going to permanently run off of the synth? Half the coolness of a pipe organ is the console with several manuals and all the stops ya know 😎
wiill be making a console. but it wont be traditional
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER tickle me elmos for the keys
@@JeffGeerling You monster!
@@JeffGeerling can we get a raspberry pi that can act as the brains of the console? it could also have a wlan server to let a museum worker operate the organ remotely. the operator could use pre-recorded midi files or a USB-midi keyboard to control the organ from the front desk. I would personally recommend the M-audio Hammer 88 as it is a good cheap piano keyboard with USB-midi
@@nathanielhill8156 It's going to need more than 88 keys. But with the magic of MIDI he can control every pipe individually and bind any combination to any key.
i feel like the couple that owned and created this, would love to know that this is what has happened to their beloved instrument.
Potential drum n bass machine!
Amazing!
Noice!
You commented 35 seconds after the Video was upload. How'd you know!?
@@8bitbrainz Refreshed on post is all. This project is my fav, totally psyched about the work on it!
Your doing it wrong Sam. Adagio was for strings, not pipes! Gawd It's sounded good though!
So amazing!
the last few minutes reminded me of the song by Tiësto adagio For string, supper nice video. keep it up 👍
Mate, just wondering if you've implemented a voltage drop for those solenoids into the system? If not, they may fail sooner rather than later: Once a solenoid is active, you can drop the voltage down to 5v (assuming they're 12v jobbies) and they stay closed, continuous 12v (for instance holding a key pressed too long) running at full chat (12v) will cook the solenoids!
It’s half travel. They are only on 8v
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER I am curious... how did you manage to lover the current rushed into the solenoids? I assume that would be around 1.4Amps with no modification and if the power supply can handle that. But I think if you attach one power supply to a whole bunch of these, it should be capable of many amps, since you would want to activate more solenoids at once. So the question is, did you use for example PWM or something else to lower the amps used by the solenoids (the ULN2803 can't even handle more than 500mA...)? And do you use flyback diodes to handle the voltage spike when the solenoid is released? Amazing project btw, you're inspiring me...
@@alexanderbunt2421 not sure where you got 1.4 amps. the coils resistance means they use about 100ma each. uln2803 is 500 ma per pin. power supplies 2amp. if on rare occasion it uses more its only for a note or two. if worse happens power will just shut off thats beyond any sensible use though
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER Well, am trying to create something like you did, with solenoids acting as valves in a wind chest. But if I directly power the solenoids with a 12v 12.5Amps power supply, they use about 1.4Amps. And when I use a transistor array like you (ULN2003), they use about 700mA, but then the ULN2003 is overheating quickly (logically) and breaks, because it can't handle the amount of current. So I tried to fix that by using PWM on my arduino, but I was wondering how you did it... but I see on the video that your solenoids have a current of 950mA noted on the label. In either case, that would be too much for the ULN2003 or ULN2083. Do you (and if, how) limit the amount of current going to the solenoid to 100mA?
which solenoids you saw with 950, they are not, not that i know of. well they are just resistors in the end of the day. add resistors in series@@alexanderbunt2421 the blue ones in the bass bourdon chest possibly, but i just doubled up the uln2803 outputs. just do it and hope for the best. no need to complicate. good luck!
a normal smoke machine is not so bad it's not a good idea to do it all the time but it shouldn't do much to the bellows and pipes now a colored smoke is really bad as it will build up on all the surfaces and end up hurting all the fine control valves in the system
like i mentionned only a couple of times to see what happens :). not doing it again
The organ loop in the background give this video a documentary vibe, it's that good
simply great
so awesome
Amazing
flippin' brilliant!
Awesome
Incredible
I discovered through "mind over matter" and I have to say, everything on your channel is a treat. Your work is brilliant from both an artistic and a technical perspective, it's musical genius and practical knowledge at their best. Thanks for this entertainment and for sharing your journey, you're great
To be completely honest, I dont think there is anyone better suited than you to own this beauty!
Super interesting series!
amazing
brilliant!
excellent stuff!
love, Love LOVE THIS!
the deeper you dive into analog technology the more I'm loving your channel
i love watching this project come together!!
Love it..... nice one
I love the passive aggressiveness of "I still dont know what Im doing" XD
Looks and sounds amazing
Great project! MASSSIVE!
12:07 Adagio for strings on and organ blowing smoke is something else. I love this channel so much 🙌😂
So cool seeing everything come together again.
Keep up the great work!
Smoke test is always a good way to find air leaks. 😁 This gets better every time!
Love this series!
Magnificent demo.
I'm in awe
This is a good treat. So much power in such a small room. Music that makes you vibrate, literally.
loving this series so far!
If you were to run a mineral oil based smoke through the organ every now and again it might not be that bad of an idea. It could lubricate some moving parts and it might be good for the wooden parts to help prevent any cracking or splitting especially in winter. You’d still probably have to clean out any gunk buildup eventually.
I’d love to see you run helium or sulphur hexafluoride (perhaps argon instead)through the organ. Though it may not be that safe for you to be in the same room without some exceptional ventilation or an oxygen mask.
Who knew I'd learn more about pipe organs from a synth builder/hacker than I'd learned in the prior half century of my life. Sam is a valuable public service, inspiring to us all. A visit to the museum is on my bucket list. May have to combine a trip to Goodwood and TMINO.
This is absolutely brilliant!
