That's what doctors do: they play with organs. :) Seriously, that is an ultra-cool setup. I can only imagine how it must be for the good doctor to be able to come home from a day of treating patients, walk into his living room and play some music on that magnificent instrument.
He understands that the acoustics are equally important as the organ. The best, most expensive pipe organ is dead in a church with carpet, padded pews, and ceiling tiles. It is like a steinway grand without the sustain pedal.
Yes, this is one of my frustrations at the church where I'm organist. We have a really nice 51-rank Schantz organ built in 1999, but the acoustics are dreadful! Low ceiling, carpet, pew pads, absorptive walls, etc. I'm told the acoustics were even worse back when they had thicker carpet. I have to use the Antiphonal division along with the main organ in order for people in the back half of the room to hear much organ sound, but the main organ isn't properly air-conditioned since all of the vents are in the floor; as a result, in the warm months, the main organ goes sharp while the nicely-cooled Antiphonal remains at the correct pitch, and the result is somewhat cacophonous. 😩
@@organist1982 same here. Im playing a new pipe organ in a choir loft with completely dead acoustics. It kills me that no one gets it. I really believe that they view the pipe organ as a status symbol, nothing more.
@@Richard-vq7ud I was shocked when my music director told me that he and the church had looked into the possibility of deadening the acoustics even more at some point before I took the job. Thank goodness they didn't! I can't believe a choir director would even consider that!!
Wow seriously an inspiring story. I wish I had that mans motivation! I noticed a tremor, I pray for him that it doesnt interfere with his playing. That is my biggest fear.
Very lucky man and seems most gracious as well. If I lived there I would probably sleep on the organ bench but doubt I would get tired of playing it. I have been thrilled with pipe organs since I was a little kid. Classical music of course....
Imagine the insurance appraiser walking in the front door: “I understand you have some contents here that might be better protected with a separate policy? Some kind of keyboa -oh -oh… OH MY GOSH!!
That was my dream as a child sitting behind the beautiful church organ. I dreamed often of having an organ in my home. The way he pulled it off is very amazing. Thankfully I was able to play many church organs throughout my life. This one is beyond awesome.
I wonder how many times the police have to come over and tell him to stop/tone it down. We have absolute nuts in the world (like him). I wouldn't want a high-IQ/retard (like him) as my doctor.
and stops he chooses. I'm surprised it's an actual (traditional) one, and not theater shit (which can also sound like the one in the video, with the right registrations).
No, he DOES NOT!!! I think he's the one that needs to be meds, and in a nursing home. Who thinks up this shit?! Thank God this guy is not my grandfather, nor related to me. Thank God, there is no one in my family, that has ever owned or played such an abusive "musical instrument."

"The most important stop on the organ, the acoustics."

@@organist1982 i believe it. It is part of the zombie invasion we are experiencing.
Lmao my gosh. Imagine making your house bigger to fit your musical instrument in. That’s insane. Amazing.
One of the most beautiful sights and sound that I have ever seen and heard!
mouth wipes don't work that's SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN STOP THESE CORONA FAIRIES
The exact thing i do when I'm off the hospital 😂.
It's a lovely experience 😍

Amazing! He seems to be more of a musician with a passion for medecin..which happens to be his livelihood. Both are equally demanding.

Classical music of course....
As an organist, this is my dream! I'd do almost anything to get a 7,000-pipe organ in my house!
What an incredible passion!
WOW!!! Greetz from the organ country (NL 🇳🇱😊❤️)
This man is living my dream
Oh my.....He must be so passionate with organ...
Opening Tune: O Waly, Waly. Very nice.

i know someone that knows this man i see this house all the time super dope dopest house i’ve seen and i’ve seen a lot of really really nice homes
Hey Doc, hit the SFZ and play two four notes chords, with double pedal.
If that glass house stays standing, you win.
Nice one, i like it
Awesome story. Nice you teach too. You may know my cousin classical pianist yefim bronfman.
That’s exactly what I’d do If I had all that money. I could only imagine that cost over 3 million dollars
3 million? And the rest! You could easily double that without even trying.
The organ itself probably costs 2-3 million, if not more. And a massive home on the water? Woah. Huge numbers.
@@BryanSlettenrealtor how is a doctor even able to afford that
@@SoggySandwich80 some make a ton of money.
@@BryanSlettenrealtor That much?
A man after my own heart. Love it!!!!!!!!!!
Virgil Fox also had a large pipe organ in his home.
Beautiful🙏❤️🎶🎶
No Comment.... for this totally crazy world!! Friedwald for me!!!

His neighbors must love him.

poor guys hands shake
What is the setting of o waly waly? Gorgeous
What a lovely story!
this is my dream in real life i cannot believe it. i would die for a real instrument in such a perfect space
That's amazing!!
W doctor
I would love to play that instrument!!!!!!
a 32ft reed in a home is a supreme flex
There are three 32' reeds. Bassoon, Posaune, and Bombarde. Plus a 32' Subbass and 32' Violone, all the real deal.
@@shawnkeith1164 A video of Widor's Tocatta? About 3-1/2 mins in, the acid test.
GORGEOUS INSTRUMENT!!!!
Fantastic
Beautiful 😲🥰🥰🥰🤗❤️I Am A PK. Preachers Kid. My Dad Is A Retired Methodist Minister From Butte Montana!😲👍🏼🙏 So Organs Definitely Were My Thing.
He better be very careful with what notes he plays. If he makes one oopsie he might not have any windows anymore....
and stops he chooses. I'm surprised it's an actual (traditional) one, and not theater shit (which can also sound like the one in the video, with the right registrations).
I would love to live in this house! Having an organ at my immediate disposal would be great!
I hope to get myself a pipe organ
Same too
The air must be contaminated with covid from the organ 😂
I wanna see some boogie woogie on that bad boy!
You sir, are my kind of crazy 🙂
NIce organ and piano. I wish I could play it. I shall remember you in my prayers. Please rememberme in your WILL. tanx
least he has his priorities in order innit!
Wow I just Love This Guy!!
No, he DOES NOT!!! I think he's the one that needs to be meds, and in a nursing home. Who thinks up this shit?! Thank God this guy is not my grandfather, nor related to me. Thank God, there is no one in my family, that has ever owned or played such an abusive "musical instrument."
"Recognizes his privledge" - and I lost all respect for the reporter's unbiased coverage.
He recognises his privilege - ok why - what privilege does he have exactly? Working his whole life to fund his hobby?
Really cool! Too bad the immersion is somewhat ruined because of the face masks. The video will also age badly because of it
Give over, we're in the middle of a global pandemic that has left half a million Americans dead, and Dr Blackstone is at risk due to his age.
you are an absolute specimen the bloody immersion an aging of a video grow up
@@SilenceDogwood. vaccination does not equal complete immunity. It reduces risk, but people are still dying of Covid even after vaccination.
@@SilenceDogwood. 2% is still a heck of a big chance. Even those who have been double jabbed are still at risk.
