- Tim Duckworth plays No Business Like Showbusiness on the Gallops residence organ, a 4 manual instrument with around 200 total ranks, making it the largest theatre-style organ in the world. The Sanfilippo organ is the largest theatre PIPE organ, at 88 ranks, although the Gallops residence organ is digital, and contains only a few playing Principal pipes. The rest of the instrument is fully digital.

An extraordinary talent - so sad that Tim's life came an end at such an early age.
Superbly played. Rest In Peace.
Tim, such talent, you are really missed. R.I.P.
Ah, Timothy, you left us far too soon. May this New Year's Day be one of total joy for you. Your friends miss you greatly!
I didn't know this. What happened to him?
@@malefootcrazy Tim's body was found at the bottom of a lake about 8 Months ago
Such talent! Tim you are missed. R.I.P.
Delightful
... and the Passau Organ is the largest church pipe organ, and the Atlantic City Organ is the largest-ever pipe organ ever built!
I do not have a pair of actual organ shoes, so having my shoe(s) off to better feel the pedals greatly improves the accuracy of my footwork. Thanks for watching.
Terrific. Where would I locate a theatre organ arrangement for There's No Business Like Show Business?
I've played theatre organ since I was 10 years old, I'm now 62. Your arrangements are superb, your registration exquisite , and your talent is top-notch professional. Standing O.
There's no organs like Theatre organs. Everything about them is appealing.
Wonderful playing. Major kudos.
Beautiful organ, and great arrangement! I love your style!
Never tire of hearing your version of this classic tune- in fact, we've adopted your rendition as the theme song at our annual all day backyard badminton festival. CHEERS!
Excellent playing job. Can't beat that sound!!
Stupendo... Eccezionale
i could listen to you play all day....very nice !!
Tim- It's 1 AM, I was feelin' kinda sombre but hearing your artistry on this instrument goosed my spirits beyond almost anything legal! Thank you for being and doing!
WOW! Gorgeous console wherEVER it is!!! Very good playing, too!! All by memory!
Since the entire organ is digital (aside from one principal rank at the end of the room) it only seems appropriate to list the number of ranks. It may not be a theatre "pipe" organ, but it is a theatre organ, nonetheless. Some purists would certainly argue, though. The console is a very typical theatre organ case, the same as Organ Stop, only without the black and gold paint job. And yes, pipes generally sound better than digital, but listen to this organ in person before you knock it.
Thanks! It's a virtual (digital) theatre organ consisting of around 200 total ranks. Most of the samples were made by the owners themselves. It is mostly theatre ranks with a helping of classical to supplement it. It is a very impressive instrument.
What a great talent.God bless you.
Absolutely superb. Thanks so much for this post!
What a great talent. Such a tragedy. R.I.P
RIP ?!? -- What happened ?
samueladams7 I am unsure what happened. They found his body in a lake in Ohio a few months ago. Very very sad.
@@Jacklevics Very sad, indeed! I had no idea Timothy had died.
DAMN! :( why did this premature death have to happen?
@@samueladams7 Tragically, Tim drowned several months ago.
he is an amazeing young theater organist.
He was the greatest theatrical organist who ever lived.
No
Brilliant. Keep up the good work TIm. What a super looking console, too.
Wow! Tim!!! Great playing on a grand vtpo!!!
Thank you for sharing!
Boy, Tim, you would sure make my dad proud! His hobby was playing the theater organ. We had a Conn 650 in the house when I was a kid. Very nice!!
Just de lovely ... thank you.
OMG THIS IS SO FABULOUS!
Amazing!! Hope you make a CD
of music like this!! Put me on the waiting list!!
Fantastic !
Just amazing!
If you ever get to play the San Filippo organ, I gotta hear that !
Great job!
Great work! :-)
Good arrangement, and you are really musical! :-)
Gratts!
If I am ever in the area, I'd love to! Plenty of quality instruments on the west coast.
this young man is a great organist,he will be famous.
This is in the home of Jim Gallops and Dick Dissell in northern Illinois. They have built a very impressive virtual theatre organ. (VTPO) The console was built by Ken Crome (the acknowledged best in the business), using a Uniflex relay, nearly 400 SAMs, with Hauptwerk on four Mac Pros running about 140 ranks of Jim's own 24/96 samples into an audio system with four MOTU 24I/O audio units and a host of monitors and speakers. The organ is in a purpose-built room with excellent acoustics.
ooooooo....drooling over that organ....risking electric shock...sounds great!
I love Hammond organs and theatre organs. I live in an area where theatre pipe organs are rare and I have never played one. Thanks for posting this video. It sure looks fun!
It is amazing how a theater organ like this made mostly digital with just a few pipes can sound this way. I wish I knew how to modify these electronically as I would love to have one like it. I suppose if you are lucky to find a console if any of them are left in the US anymore. All the theater organ buff's have no doubt hoarded the market and bought them all up. I am sure it is a case of who you know and being in the right place at the right time.
WOW! Couldn't have said it better myself!
Fine instrument and Great organist! ;-)
Indeed, it is. Thanks! Jim and Dick mentioned that you were there for a couple of days studying with Jelani. Definitely a good organ to work with.
BRAVO!!! Standing O!!!!
Terrific playing!! Hope you can visit California sometime to play some of our theatre pipe organ treasures out here!
Good effort.
Timothy - I enjoy your playing so! Keep it up :-D
BRAVOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! GREAT!!!
Strange (it seems to me), but after 76 years of never liking the sound of an organ . . . no matter how well it was played, I've suddenly developed a taste for it. It started with Jim Riggs' "Hello Bluebird," which I love in just any format. I've always been passionate about music, particularly stride piano, but this is a whole area for me to explore. This video is great!
Maybe you like Theatre Organ, very different sound than anything from a church style organ
Tim: this is the fist tune I heard you play on TH-cam and it got me to following up listening to your other postings and eventually joining TH-cam and subscribing to your site. I spent a major portion of my working years in the circus business where we have adopted this tune as one of our "anthems" so it means a lot to me. There are other postings of it by other artists, older and more experienced than you, but this old showman prefers and enjoys your (this) version as the best!
Nice playing - impressive VTPO!
Hi...If you're still alive....please start posting your great videos.....
I'm sorry to tell you, but he passed away a few months ago.
Great performance! Thanks for sharing. By the way I do always play with my shoe off too. One time playing in a church the minister was joking about the organ being sacred ground
Great playing, this instrument should be heard more online to help show what VTPO can do.
No doubt; it is a fine, fine instrument!
Very Nice!! :)
excellent
I Love your playing Dude i want to learn more about the Theater Pipe Organ
The theatre organ like all organs are a gift from Father Yahweh,how He shares his love for us.
You should come visit the pipe organ at St.Marks Lutheran Church here in Evansville, IN. It's a magnificent instrument.
This is a digital theatre organ built using a computer software called Hauptwerk to run the sampled ranks. It essentially works the same as a Walker organ does, but it is a bit more flexible.
Superb
Great
Good job
He has His Organ shoes now. So sad to have lost you and your talent.
You are fantastic. No Business Like Show Business is one of my favorites and you did it great justice.
The Gallop TO is excellent. What are the details?
0:52 WOW!!
Indeed his arrangements were some of the greatest, is still tear up listing to him. what a loss.
very nice, i like it
Gr. Co
GOOD GOD WOW!!!!!!!!! how old is this kid!??!? he's amazing!
As a die hard pipe organ person, I now have to admit and possibly eat some crow -- these newer digital instruments sound pretty amazing and realistic. The older electronic "appliances" use to have tell tale signs that gave them away -- like shallow, phony pedal sound with no presence.
Outstanding. Loved that! But tell me why do the consoles have to look like that? They seem to be combination cockpit, throne and some wired part of a pirate ship. lol
Hi Tim:
I really enjoyed your artistry. You certainly have lots of talent. In regards to wearing/not wearing shoes I (as an amateur organist) have always found it to my advantage to wear a good pair of dress shoes with leather soles for pedal playing. I find it easier to heel & toe and glide from one pedal to another. Sneakers, for me, don't work on a pedal board. Too much resistance from the rubber soles. Keep up the good work and I hope to hear more from you in the future.
Is this in your Livingroom Timothy? Excellent!
Brilliant instrument, is it not? And great playing, too!
Wow that's an awesome organ. Talented player as well. But since it's not actual all pipes, how much do theater organs like that cost?
You have to be nuts about organs to put a monster like that in your house!
so strange to see this console in natural wood.. in its scale and spec. used to the Fisher console nice playing interesting set up. anyone know what the digital voices were sampled from?
Since I did the sampling for the instrument, the answer to your question is: from many pipe organs over about 7 years. We are still getting new samples for the instrument so it is always in a state of flux. We do not use commercially available sample sets. We do our own!
Thats awesome.
Does any site list the ranks in this (digital and pipe)? Even though you say it's growing, the list at any point in that progression would be interesting to read-- not only a full stoplist by pitch & manuals, but which actual ranks, too.

I just have to ask why one shoe on,and one shoe off? Whatever the reason,it sure makes your playing superb!
Oh Barney, you are so, ... rococo!
Also, by the way: You want to own a large theatre organ. In your house. You can't afford, nor do you have room for, pipes. What do you do?
Nice work... is this a Walker? I am looking to purchase a digital theater for myself as I retire to enjoy playing again. I like the sound... and having enough power to punch the sounds is critical. Any suggestions?
Yes - Walker makes the best digital organs in the world. Both classic and theatre models are incredibly realistic and a true joy to play. I know because I have one, and I know the integrity and extreme attention to detail they put into their product. If you are serious, you must call them for information.
Allen Digital Theatre Organs are generally considered to be pretty good as well.

Sorry, Dr Paul Scott had a 5m theatre organ in his house, along with two concert grands and another 4m “traditional”organ at the time of this posting.
Whatever happened to Timothy Duckworth??
He died mysteriously. What a
loss😭
@@hsmoller ----Tim died mysteriously yes, but murdered non the less...What a loss of a brilliant young artist....I have a hunch, but will continue to follow news reports in the near future....
@@jrzzrj yes keep me posted by p.m.
@@jrzzrj I wish you luck in finding out what really happened. Was the coroner’s report ever released? Or a report from the investigative team?? So strange 10 days between time of missing person report and time his body was found ....
Tom
what company built this organ?
Man, what an awesome registration change at 00:54! Just a mass of lush in the left hand. How many ranks of strings are on this thing?
28 ranks, but he wasn't using them all!
jsfgzzz I believe I only had the theatre strings used. I had not yet learned about the symphonic rank duplicates that were available. You want it, this organ has it.
Timothy Duckworth Hi Tim, Not all of the strings are on the accompaniment manual. Most of them are there including some of the symphonic ones. All the strings are on the great manual. There just isn't enough room on the console! (BTW this is Jim Gallops.) I am surprised you remembered about the symphonic ranks.
Mark Demmin II, The Vintage Voice great.
Is this a Walker?
Wait a sec..... Is this thing in ur basement??
It is not. It is located in the Gallops Residence.

Hi 👋
While I certainly applaud yet another young person's interest in the theatre organ, I believe you could use some coaching on registration. Please do not take offense to that, as I mean it purely as constructive criticism. Most notably, your standard "full organ" does *not* have to have EVERY stop on at 16' and 8'. Remember, once you hit that point - you have absolutely nowhere left to go for the BIG/come-to-Jesus full organ (i.e., the big ending of a piece). Take note that your opening registration is *exactly* that. Thus, you have nowhere else to go. In fact, and I realize that this is so-so quality audio, but the Post Horn seems to get lost in your full organ registration. While I'm not a fan of loud-assed Post Horns, (and I'm not saying this is one of those) I can almost guarantee the Post Horn in this organ has a little more volume than what it appears to have in these registrations. This also stems from my never understanding why, if an organ has, say, 3 Tibias, or 19 ranks of strings, organists feel that they must ALL be on in their ensembles. There are a few organists in particular that cannot play most of their ensembles unless all Tibias, and 3/4 or all of the organ's strings are on. I just hope that you will not fall into that trap of "slam'em all on".
PLEASE do NOT take this as any sort of put down to your video/playing. For 17, (although I realize that was two years ago now) I am impressed with your abilities...and I'm NOT easily impressed. Keep up the good work!
it is true that some of the registrations could be more loud/quiet or have different tonal colors but it's fine anyways
I wouldn't say you should listen to Everett Nourse or Tom Hazelton to hear how a theatre organ is supposed to be played either - they aren't the be all and end all, no organist is.

"More appropriate to a church organ," really? Are you discounting the hundreds of original Wurlitzers installed in plain wood finishes?All the plain panel consoles aside, there were a great many undecorated, wood-finished French models like this one! Wurlitzer used only wood cases on church organs, but several of those were more decorated than this! Besides that, listing by ranks is still proper, even if they're electronic. I quite enjoyed this music, though I enjoy Mr. Balogh's playing also.
What the hell was that dreadful, most people seem to have a massive hearing problem
small organ....
first class playing,but a WurLitzer never looks right unless it's white(and gold).
love the sneaker show on the left of the console;-)
...a lovely musical performance
