I found your video fascinating and appreciate your musical knowledge and the obvious keyboard skills of Rachel. Her hand position and style while playing demonstrates fine training from an accomplished teacher. Thank you for creating this video!
Good to see you back. Back in the day I tried to imbue in my students an abiding interest in science. You epitomize this by showing how a grasp of basic physics combined with boundless curiosity explains and extends knowledge of the world around us. Thank you.
You and your wife are very fortunate to have each other. I know that your children are going to grow up proper loving adults thanks to your fine examples of how to support each other. Merry Christmas and blessings for the New Year!
It makes a really good sound for an amateur effort. It sounds a little "breathy" though, which suggests that the cut ups are a little too high for the wind pressure. Have you ever considered putting tuning flaps on the pipes? Much easier to tune and they only require a small modification from what you have already.
Amazed to see your old creations still around and working. Most of my stuff just gets lost to time and not having any space, but it's always fun to pull out old homemade toys.
Really a fantastic project. I have always been fascinated with pipe organs, even as a kid. I had the great fortune to grow up in Sacramento, CA. where we had a restaurant called Pizza and Pipes. They had a fully decked out Wurlitzer Theater organ, with all the accessories, and a great organist by the name of Stuart Boyer. He mostly played requests, there was a box beside the consol where you could drop your request, and I would sit for hours , nursing my pizza, and cold drink, and listening to the organ.
Matthias did you escape from NASA for a wood working career? Your ability to solve problems and create things (your work shop tools) is over the top amazing - thank you for sharing
You are a creator without limits and I wish you success and success everywhere in the world You have a wonderful and fun style in presenting the subject Thank you
I had not heard the organ being played before. It handles the differing demands on the air supply quite well. (1 pipe vs. 2 or 3). there was a big! problem with this in the 19th century, when organs started to get much bigger and louder. Nice work.
Great project, Matt. The organ has a wonderful timbre and sounds a lot like the renaissance organs in smaller churches in Europe. But your constant pressure pump gives it a more stable tone. Really nice.
Oh no, I always use tuning aids. Back in the early 90s when I built it, these didn't exist, so I wrote a little program on my commodore 64 where I could tune the computer to the pipe, and then the computer could tell me the frequency and how far off it was.
How does Matthias know everything ever? Like, seriously. I'm a hobbyist and have a lot of knowledge about a wide array of things, but I'm a babe in the woods watching these videos.
WOW unfassbar tolles Projekt, höchster Respekt und Anerkennung mein lieber Matthias. Frohe Weihnachten und ein tolles neues Jahr mit viel Gesundheit für Dich und deine liebsten. LG
Now that’s a proper Wandel video: an unlikely table saw repair of an unlikely homebuilt project, crowned with Rachel’s talent. Who cares about analytics? Dig into the Daquin Noels, Rachel, if you can adapt them to the short keyboard compass. Fun to play!
"My 78-stop pipe organ sounds a bit strange, I'm trying to fix it" (moves the homemade bandsaw inside the organ) "I think there is a leakage in the lowest 64' bombarde." (a normal small timelapse when he cuts the 18-meter lead pipe with a sawmill) "That fixed it."
Great to see you. That was really interesting. I would love to have seen a complete build video of the organ, it's such a cool item. Hope all is well with you and the family, best wishes.
Nice Mathias, glad to see you able to perform some projects again and very ingenious on the build but I'm a Hammond player so have a different sound I like but the pipes sound great.
Thanks for the entertaining video, but just as a piece of information, wooden pipes, when made in the traditional way, require almost nothing, or literally nothing, in the way of voicing. There is very little you can alter in a wooden pipe, so if you might it right the first time, it just works.
Hello, Matthias! I really enjoyed your troubleshooting (being an pipeorgan maker in Finland). I couldn't tell you where the issue is with your pipe (I'd suspect a too steep of an angle in the lip, also way too much of an opening for the pressure you have), but I hope you are happy with it! Also, I loved your wife playing on it! Cheers!
Great video and impressive playing by Rachel! Forgive my ignorance but I was wondering if only adding some wood glue would have been sufficient in fixing the leaks. Would this deteriorate over time, thus requiring new pieces of wood as inlay, or am I overlooking some details? In any case, very inspiring as always Sir!
Leakage can do such a mess on these especially when they are made out of wood for some reason (i saw an organ that had rolled and soldered brass pipes with a split, nooot so much of an issue, tho it did sound a little deaf). Nice fix, i bet the kids will enjoy it. :)

You never cease to amaze me Matthias!
Speaking of mazes, it would be cool if he did more videos regarding the rat maze experiments
Amazing family.
Good old green machines in the basement, looks like Matthias is back 🙂👍
It's quite amazing that you can create such a cool organ! Awesome job!
You here? Haven't seen you in a while... Already received the silver play button?
He has returned!
Go away, don't come round here no more.
All cool organs are created.
@@diederikvandedijk I like what you did there. Some of the coolest organs are the heart, lungs, liver, and skin.
Every time I watch one of Matthias’ videos I feel like such a slug...he is sooo smart!
Same here lol
Totally agree. 5:51
How is the injury going, Mattias? Glad to see you're still creating content. Hope you're healing up ok.
Very nice playing Rachel!

I watched the video and read your article on the organ. Enjoyed them immensely. Thank you very much for all that you do.
You’re the coolest dude on the planet!

Any time we can get another Wandel family member in the video -- whether it's kids or wife -- it definitely adds value.
I find that it's quite rare that kids add to a video and doesn't just feel like clickbait or annoying filler
Merry Christmas Matthias, thank you for your videos :)
I love how it sounds! It's so "quaint" and calming!
Very cool with your own homemade organ. Thank you for sharing your story. God bless and merry Christmas to you and your family
Glad to see your back starting to do things in your shop again!
I still think he is the modern day Da Vinci. Doing beautiful projects without overwhelming modern tech. Beautiful!
That's how we like your videos. Rachel plays pretty well btw!
Matthias, you are a genius! What I do with my videos is nothing compared to this. I am a big fan of your work! RESPECT!
Gotta be one of the smartest dudes around. Love your stuff.
Id love to watch you build new organ! Bet you could make a great series of videos on it.
Matthias did you escape from NASA for a wood working career? Your ability to solve problems and create things (your work shop tools) is over the top amazing - thank you for sharing
Close. He was on the ground floor when RIM started.
You are a creator without limits and I wish you success and success everywhere in the world
You have a wonderful and fun style in presenting the subject
Thank you
Thanks for all you have shared with us! Hopefully your recovery goes well.

Nice work.
"looks like leakage was the problem." You're a grown man Peter, stop giggling...
Maybe you shouldn't of dipped it
hahahahahaha.... yer hilarious =)
Amazing build & I can't believe that it still plays after 26 years!
Great project, Matt. The organ has a wonderful timbre and sounds a lot like the renaissance organs in smaller churches in Europe. But your constant pressure pump gives it a more stable tone. Really nice.
how awsome it must feel to see your wife enjoying one of your creations, kudos
It’s awesome to see you in a shop environment again.
Yet another great video. It's amazing how you're able to do so many things so well. You're quite the master craftsman and artist.
👍
What an amazing project! So great you were able to bring it back into use. Thanks for the video.
Now THAT'S the Mathias we came to Know & Love!!! Well Done Mat!
I'm so glad you fixed the Pipe Organ
Great seeing you back! That little organ has a nice sound to it.
I could just sit hear and listen to Rachel play that all day.
Glad to see you’re back in the shop Matthias, hope your tendinitis is doing okay!
Wow! Incredible Mr. Wandel. Thanks so much for your videos.
You are excellent. Not only good at carpentry but music reviewing as well
Great to see you building again! Glad to see your pipe organ survived the journey to NB with you.
I wasn't going to throw it out!
I see you listening (vs looking at a tuning device) to get the pitch perfect and know you're one of us.
Oh no, I always use tuning aids. Back in the early 90s when I built it, these didn't exist, so I wrote a little program on my commodore 64 where I could tune the computer to the pipe, and then the computer could tell me the frequency and how far off it was.
Matthias, good to see the organ back, repaired and being played! Merry Christmas to you and your wonderful family!
Good eye locating the problem, interesting that pipe organ. Thanks for sharing and Happy Holidays !
Wow! Great video. Engaging on several levels.
We need a full build series on this!
How does Matthias know everything ever? Like, seriously. I'm a hobbyist and have a lot of knowledge about a wide array of things, but I'm a babe in the woods watching these videos.
I have been hoping you would revisit the organ - those were the videos that brought me to your channel years ago!
What a nice video.... more of that and the nice music too :) Merry Christmas to you and your family and thank you for your videos.
You're very talented. 👍🏻⛰🦅
Of course you made your own pipe organ. That is a wonderful project.
Well done Matthias! As always!
WOW unfassbar tolles Projekt, höchster Respekt und Anerkennung mein lieber Matthias. Frohe Weihnachten und ein tolles neues Jahr mit viel Gesundheit für Dich und deine liebsten. LG
Merry Christmas, Matthias, to you and your family.
Hope you're healing up well.
Very cool build and that Rachel knows how to play!
Excellent video! How to voice them was very interesting to learn. They remind me of the square bore Native American style flutes I make 🙂
Now that’s a proper Wandel video: an unlikely table saw repair of an unlikely homebuilt project, crowned with Rachel’s talent. Who cares about analytics?
Dig into the Daquin Noels, Rachel, if you can adapt them to the short keyboard compass. Fun to play!
I've said it once and I'll say it again you were wicked talented dude
Matt, you amazing man!
Hope you’re getting better Matthias, TH-cam needs you!
After watching this video ...... I feel FULLFILLED! Thank you so much!
I would love to see more organ videos! Time to add another manual and rank of pipes!
This sounds absolutely amazing!
A pipe organ? You made a pipe organ at home, out of wood? That is the neatest thing ever!
"My 78-stop pipe organ sounds a bit strange, I'm trying to fix it" (moves the homemade bandsaw inside the organ) "I think there is a leakage in the lowest 64' bombarde." (a normal small timelapse when he cuts the 18-meter lead pipe with a sawmill) "That fixed it."
Merry Christmas to you and your family. Absolutely enjoy your videos. I see why you made the organ... Rachel plays very well.
Nice seeing the sleds and saws going again. Happy holidays to you and your family.
Glad to see you back again. Happy new year.
It's so nice to see that you have.... Organised those pipes ;) .
New shop looks great! Looking forward to seeing more content!
Wow that's some finicky stuff, incredible work. I would have thought those knots would make for a terrible tonewood, but I guess not. Sounded great.
Great to see you. That was really interesting. I would love to have seen a complete build video of the organ, it's such a cool item. Hope all is well with you and the family, best wishes.
when I built that, all there was was VHS or betamax camcorders!
Quality content, great to see you’re back in the shop
Is there anything you cant make in your woodshop? You are a legend mate
Beautiful instrument
you keep making me wonder how you come up with all that you do, keep it up i love it
I'd love to see an organ/ maze hybrid where you trick the mice into playing Three Blind Mice
Really interesting video. Building your own pipe organ is a very unusual thing to do.
انت مبدع بلا حدود واتمنى لك التوفيق والنجاح في كل مكان في العالم
لك اسلوب رائع وممتع في تقديم الموضوع
وشكراً
Nice Mathias, glad to see you able to perform some projects again and very ingenious on the build but I'm a Hammond player so have a different sound I like but the pipes sound great.
Cool! Matthias, my music-school students are excited! Greetings from "Musikschule Klimpertaste", Germany
Thanks for the entertaining video, but just as a piece of information, wooden pipes, when made in the traditional way, require almost nothing, or literally nothing, in the way of voicing. There is very little you can alter in a wooden pipe, so if you might it right the first time, it just works.
Very impressive! If you're ever down in New England, I'd be happy to show you around some of our big organs.
Please make a complete series of videos on organ making and explain your thought process.
Matthias you are the best, Greets from Germany
Hello, Matthias! I really enjoyed your troubleshooting (being an pipeorgan maker in Finland). I couldn't tell you where the issue is with your pipe (I'd suspect a too steep of an angle in the lip, also way too much of an opening for the pressure you have), but I hope you are happy with it! Also, I loved your wife playing on it! Cheers!
this one runs at quite low pressure, only about 40 mm.
@@matthiaswandel That is indeed quite low. Pipes tend to be way more finicky to voice when the pressure is low. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
A modern heirloom. Nice fix.
Great video and impressive playing by Rachel! Forgive my ignorance but I was wondering if only adding some wood glue would have been sufficient in fixing the leaks. Would this deteriorate over time, thus requiring new pieces of wood as inlay, or am I overlooking some details? In any case, very inspiring as always Sir!
Would be ok for now but might crack with wood movement
We miss you Mr Wandel. Get better soon.
Leakage can do such a mess on these especially when they are made out of wood for some reason (i saw an organ that had rolled and soldered brass pipes with a split, nooot so much of an issue, tho it did sound a little deaf). Nice fix, i bet the kids will enjoy it. :)
Rachel plays beautifully!
sexist comment though
@@xl000 Only in your mind, buddy
Your wife really loves you, such a monstrosity in the living room!! Sooooo coooool! Thank you Mathias!
Side note: that new workshop setup has a real nostalgic feel for me. Anyone else?
Very cool! Merry Christmas to you and all you love!
nice to revisit the organ again sounds good.
Builds an organ, marries a girl that can play it.
Definition of awesome.
OR. Marries a girl that can play and builds her one as a gift.
The organ came first.
@@alangknowles
awesome!
