- I hope you enjoy this organ demonstration video of the wonderful Pipe Organ at Methuen Memorial Music Hall! This instrument was the first organ in America built specifically as a concert hall organ. It was originally built by Walcker in 1863, has been added to the Music Hall in 1909 and has been overhauled, also by E. M. Skinner. The video will showcase all the different sounds of this amazing instrument!

This is an amazing organ with an incredible history. It must be extremely loud in this small concert hall. Paul, your American videos are helping American organists be more aware of some of the wonderful instruments that we have in this country. Thank you !

I saw an organ being built which was impressive! They built the chapel around the organ. Until this video, I truly didn’t understand all the stops and workings. Thank you so much!
I first heard this instrument on a 1970s Telarc direct to disc recording by Michael Murray. It is good to hear it again. Thank you Paul Fey.
A beautiful instrument. Rich in variation of tone and dynamics. Thank you Paul for this informative demonstration.
The largest pipe in the organ is actually behind the farthest left pedal tower on the wall (low C) while low D is on the wall behind the farthest right tower. They are on ground level and go up all the way up to a lil over half the height of the case and they are made of wood . Full speaking lengths 32s
I love that tongue twister about flutes... 😅
BTW, Here is how I analyzed this organ specification, from my FB post.
"I hope to see a Hauptwerk sampleset of this one day. This is a fine example of what 38% remains of E.F. Walcker organ.

Very beautiful demonstration, Paul, on this magnificent Walcker organ ❤❤
This demo perfectly illustrates your Simple Gifts and Toccata played masterfully on this pipe organ, dear Paul ❤❤❤
Wat an...magnificent Organ ..with a lot of stops...Paul Thanks !
Another great video. Excellent audio quality that goes along with your excellent playing skills!
I looked up the organ's history after your premier of "Simple Gifts". It is fascinating. I suppose the organ fits into the "symphonic" category with its mighty sound capacity. The case and portraits on the pipes are awesome as well. (I also look forward to what you are planning for the upcoming Holiday season). From Chicago, U.S.A.
So großartig, vielen Dank Paul Fey !!!
Sehr schön Paul Fey und so kraftvoll 👍🏻👌👏
So wunderbar diese Orgel zu hören 🙏👌👍
A German organ master plays a very good sounding German organ. All this in America. Cool! 👍🏻👏🏻💪🏻🙏🏻
Magnifique enregistrement ! Vielen Dank lieber Organist, aus dem Elsass….
Eine große Freude für mich 👏👏👏
Ich bin begeistert von dieser Orgel. Passt leider nicht in unsere Kirche 😁👌👏👍
Prachtvoll diese Orgel 👍👍👍
I see you remembered your organ Sox’s 👌🏻
Paul Fey is, in my humble O'PENGUIN, one of the very finest young organists appearing on today's world concert stage. If these Antarctic Birds were Irish, 'O'Penguin' would be their proper name!
Absolutely amazing my dear friend! Well done! Thank you for a great presentation!🤗👍👏👏👏
Sehr schön Paul Fey 👌👍Bravo
Ich bin ja so sehr begeistert 👌👌👍👍👏👏
So, gut. Paul. Danke.
Sehr schöne Vorstellung dieser tollen Orgel
Bravo, so wunderbare Demo. ❤🙏👏👌👍
Paul, how did they get you off the bench…. I’m sure glad that they have be maintaining this fantastic instrument.
When Joseph Ridges built the original organ in the Mormon Tabernacle in Salt Lake City, he went to the east coast for research. He borrowed heavily from the physical design of this organ - back when it was located in Boston Music Hall, before it was moved to Methuen Hall. Note the visual similarities. They were also both rebuilt by Aeolian-Skinner under the direction of G. Donald Harrison.
Klasse Orgel, toll erklärt und präsentiert.
Gefällt mir ausgezeichnet !!!!
A truly beautiful instrument. Thank so much for showing it to us, and thank you for sharing your talent.
Unbelievable, this wonderful tour! You are the best to do so!👏👏👏
Wunderschön anzuhören 👍
This is amazingly beautiful and the sound fantastic
Congragulations. 🎉🎉 great sounds as always.
really awesome pipe organ, amazing organist 👏
Love this amazing organ!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 prima
Großartige Orgelpräsentation! 😍
Very nice, Paul. Thanks.
Wow! And it looks so good too.
Hi Paul.... We have some excellent organs in the west.... SLC Salt Lake City... (Mormon Tabernacle Organ) We have an excellent organ in Rexburg Idaho ( Ruffatti ) it has been and is lovingly cared for,,, I think you would be impressed in hearing and playing it.... HMU... Lets make this happen...
I will be playing this organ tomorrow. It is a truly beautiful organ, and the craftsmanship ship that went into building the organ case is absolutely amazing. Quick question, though: I heard there was a pedal that engages full organ. Do you know exactly where this is? Thanks! Great video!
@yoshiunknown We can show you that tomorrow! 😀
@matthewbellocchio5877 thank you! I am going to need help with stops, so hopefully, someone will be there to assist.
@matthewbellocchio5877 and also, I heard they will be giving tours of the inside of the organ tomorrow. Is that true?
Hallo, lieber Paul. Diese Orgel ist so mächtig, dass man sich bestimmt winzig klein vorkommt. Eben wie vieles in Amerika! Die Möglichkeiten an diesem Instrument sind dann schier unerschöpflich, glaube ich. Bin begeistert von deiner Präsentation. Ich danke dir für deine grandiose Vorstellung und dein abermals großes Spiel. Viele liebe Grüße aus Görlitz sendet dir Steffen.
Beautiful demo of this awesome instrument, Dear Paul! I must say that the Andover Organ Co. reeds on the Great are just not the right sound for this organ.
Some smooth, blending Trompeten would have been far better; just my opinion!
