A great demonstration on a great instrument by an even greater artist! I enjoy hearing all the instruments and getting ideas on what we could add next...on our own organ. My family owns the largest theatre pipe organ in the world...located in the USA (Franklin, Wisconsin). If you are in the USA sometime in the future, i think you'd have a lot of fun on this instrument. Over 450 stops! No digital sounds, no speakers. All wind! Feel free to reach out to me if you are back in the USA.
I love the voicing of this instrument. if you look at the specification of the organs scales and wind pressures it is in the heroic style of voicing. this organ has an intensity other organs don't, dark and powerful. Such a rich warm and powerful sound.
Total bliss for me watching this. I grew up with cathedral music but sadly have no talent for playing the organ. So glad to have found you Paul, a young man with incredible talent who makes it look so easy!! Thank you x
Paul- as the curator of that organ. I want to say bravo! I was just there the day before your visit tuning. It really will blow the roof off the place. Happy to answer any and all questions.
To be there in person just to listen to that instrument would be an awesome experience. Paul, your video editing techniques are the next best thing to being there in the sanctuary. Thanks for sharing your talents.
I’d debated whether or not to visit this organ during my trip D.C, but I ultimately decided not to in the end. I’m glad I got to hear a demonstration of this organ by you. Will definitely have to experience this organ in person one day, the next time I go to D.C. Thank you for this great demonstration!
Dear Paul, that’s quite an impressive Austin! I am native of Connecticut where Austin pipe organs are built, hence there are many older installations in many churches. I’ve played small to fairly large Austin’s. Interestingly, many early installations didn’t have an abundance of stops beyond an occasional 2’ stop. But, they are pleasing in sound and require a few tricks to brighten up registration. You certainly know your way around these gorgeous instruments! Thanks again for sharing “ the king of instruments “ with us! Royden
Dear Paul, a great organ and a greatest organist. I enjoy every video, even if I can write again and again that my biggest favourite is Psalm 42. Thank you 👍🏻🐧😃😃🐧🐧 not to forget the video tour 🙏🏻😃
Lieber Paul. Ein absolut beeindruckendes Instrument, welches Du wieder einmal vorgestellt hast. Ich liebe es. Mit seinen vielen Registern gibt es schier grenzenlose Variationen auf dieser Orgel. Die einzelnen Instrumente sind sehr authentisch und die meisten wiedererkennbar. Diese Orgel ist klanglich und auch optisch ein "Leckerbissen". Eben wie fast alles in Amerika 😆! Danke für Deine Vorstellung. Großartig von Dir gespielt. Liebe Grüße aus Görlitz sendet Dir, Steffen.
Very interesting to follow this demo, what great instrument at the size of USA. Thank you so much, dear Paul, for your longest presentation until now ❤❤❤ And congratulations for your 25k followers 👍👍👍
A massive organ ! Paul does a good job of quickly taking us on a tour of all the stops. Austin Organ Company is one of the major pipe organ builders in the USA and one of the oldest existing builders. Thank you Paul, for presenting this amazing pipe organ.
The sanctuary doesn't look like the Baptist churches I knew in the South. But one good thing that nearly all major Baptist churches share is that the organ is a source of pride and the console is often visible to the multitude. I alway appreciate an organ whose main divisions are in front of me where my ears best receive the sound and the air pressure assaults me directly.
Good heavens are you still in the US? Thoughtful and thorough demonstration of this beautiful and powerful instrument. So many colors to explore. I love the toy stops!
I love your music Paul Fey. Also you playing pipe organs is inspiring. I will be playing a pipe organ in Cincinnati Ohio Soon. Not for a concert or for mass, but to demonstrate all the stops. The organ I will be playing is at the Motherhouse Chapel in Cincinnati Ohio and it is an Austin Organ.
Wonderful demonstration of the smaller sister organ of National City Christian Church. One feature you didn't mention is that when push the name tab of the division it cancels all the stops in that division. I am happy that the Tuba Major was in tune because for some reason the Tuba Major is the most unpredictable stop when it come to tuning. There are some plans of extending the 64ft Grand Posaune but only time will tell.
Storee- the tubas tuning issues have since been fixed. It’s stable again. It also is at the top of the case which is the hottest. So it’s tuning can vary.
This is correct. Much of the Pedal Division is built on a traditional Austin mechanical Duplex chest to allow for the Resonance extensions. In 2012 it was one of the first mechanical Duplex chests we had built in a number of years. They had been rendered somewhat obsolete by solid-state technology and individual magnet unit stops. But traditional mechanical Duplex chests are an incredibly elegant traditional solution. And that is what we did here.
Im a big fan of the organs with many stops.....175 is one I found but when I saw this....I need to make a new plane..... Would be a dream to have that in my home....if it would be a sample set.....
Thank you for the demonstration of stops. If I might make a sugestjon: you confine most of you notations to about two central octaves, when it might be instructive to hear the stops at the upper register of their rages. This is I think particularly helpful for the longer pipes. Expand the demonstration to show their upper range.
At any size, a fine instrument such as this one certainly deserves far better acoustics and particularly since this Baptist church is lacking the ever so commonly in American Baptist churches carpet EVERYWHERE and overly done seat cushions to cradle their rear-ends. This building appears to have stone floors at least albeit I'm not sure about seat cushions or not the stereotypical dreaded American church buildings curse. Superb as usual demonstration Paul !!
A great demo as always, Paul! I have to say, honestly, that I was disappointed in the organ, when I was there for one of the dedication concerts. The room seemed to do nothing at all to help the instrument and, in my opinion, after spending so much of the organ, they should really try to improve the acoustics.
The Chancel chambers are a challenging location for the projection of sound into the main body of the church. So it was decided to use higher wind pressures and larger scales in the Chancel. Most of the effect of the organ in the body of the church is from sound reflected around the Chancel rather than sound that is directly in the listener’s face and is hence more moderate in effect. And while the full organ with everything going couplers and all can be very potent out in the body of the church, this would tend to only happen at the end of very large scale concert works. That said, with everything going in the Chancel, the sound could certainly crush the organist. Excellent demonstration!
No. The organ at the West Point Cadet Chapel is the largest playable organ in a place of worship. The Cadet Chapel organ has 23,500 pipes. The organ at Passau Cathedral is placed in 2nd having 17,774 pipes.
@@AustinOrgans I am aware of that having been much involved with OPUS 2711 IV 69 back in 1988. It was an important instrument for the Company. The paddles were fine and are still there although the console was digitalized by Peterson a few years back and the 32’ Resultant was replace with an electronic with much success I am told.
again, we never get to see and understand the place of the organ in the church, the size of the hall, the position of pedaltowers or a general feeling of the room. its alway your obsession with stops and fingers...
A large organ for a not so large church. But it is not all what it seems. Most of the organ is made up of transmissions, extensions and digital stops. In reality the organ has 118 ranks and about 85 real stops. Almost all of the 16' and 32' stops are digital or extensions. The 'toy stops' are also digital. Still a lot of sounds to choose from.
That is not true. There are only 3- 32’ extensions. The 32’ posaune is full length and large scaled. The room seats 1,500 people between main sanctuary and side balconies and rear balcony. There is very very little borrowing or unification.
Paul is fantastic, but his style of demonstration. Here doesn’t really work that well with this type of instrument, because it is intended to be played in a very specific style.

@@michaelpfaff6009 Not at the moment
What is the Opus of this Austin and who did the on site voicing. I was involved with Opus 2711 which Fred Hefner voiced
@@PalmSpringsPatriot The organ is Op. 2795 built in 2013.
@@StoreeDenson thank you, 2711 was installed in 1988 IV-69.
Good morning Paul....If I were in your shoes right now, Id be in heaven!! What an instrument you get to play!!!

@@benjaminboellner2412 Amazing! It has been a while since I played at First Baptist.
They better give the 64' a digital extension to low C; that would be pretty cool!
You have had a lot of fun Paul, well done, Now for the Rebuke 94th 😀😀
If the Resonance division is like others I've seen, it is composed of pedal stops, extended through the full manual compass.
This is correct. Much of the Pedal Division is built on a traditional Austin mechanical Duplex chest to allow for the Resonance extensions. In 2012 it was one of the first mechanical Duplex chests we had built in a number of years. They had been rendered somewhat obsolete by solid-state technology and individual magnet unit stops.

That’s true, I‘ll consider it for the smaller instruments! 😀 On these large organs I have to keep it more simple to keep the video short

This building appears to have stone floors at least albeit I'm not sure about seat cushions or not the stereotypical dreaded American church buildings curse. Superb as usual demonstration Paul !!
The acoustics are better than presented in the recording. The mics must have been placed in chancel to make the acoustics sound dry.
Nice organ. The red dossal curtain needs a life size crucifix .
This is true for the very small crucifix without corpus.
It's a bit like the magnificent chime of a clock that doesn't show the correct time.
Full swell on any other organ just doesn't cut it!
Paul, this chamades playing like signal trumpett
I bet you are obsessed with Pipe Organs Paul Fey
A great demo as always, Paul! I have to say, honestly, that I was disappointed in the organ, when I was there for one of the dedication concerts. The room seemed to do nothing at all to help the instrument and, in my opinion, after spending so much of the organ, they should really try to improve the acoustics.
They might tweek the electronics.
@@rowanlidbury You know it's a large pipe organ, right? Or do you mean electronic augmentation of the reverberation?
Wow ! What a powerful organ ! I have a question for you : itsn't too loud for your ears when you play full organ with an instrument like this one ?
Thank you so much! 😀 This one was almost „too loud“ when sitting up there, yes!
The Chancel chambers are a challenging location for the projection of sound into the main body of the church. So it was decided to use higher wind pressures and larger scales in the Chancel. Most of the effect of the organ in the body of the church is from sound reflected around the Chancel rather than sound that is directly in the listener’s face and is hence more moderate in effect.

Excellent video Paul with great sound. Is this one of the largest playable organs in a place of worship in the World? 🙂
No. The organ at the West Point Cadet Chapel is the largest playable organ in a place of worship. The Cadet Chapel organ has 23,500 pipes. The organ at Passau Cathedral is placed in 2nd having 17,774 pipes.
Austin Organ wind is unshakable so they use paddle trémulants that have 2 speeds, these are likely set to the slower speed.
We can apply pneumatic terms to Austin airboxes. But it takes some amount of work. And in this case they were fine with fans.

Do you remember What year the organ was completed? Austin had an interesting approach on tremolos.
This organ was completed in 2013.
The 64' stop does not go lower than low A.
Trotzdem tolle orgel
We only have one pipe organ in the area that I am aware of, the other two are electric.
Gibt es von dieser wundervollen Orgel eine CD? Kann leider nichts finden..
Warum nochmal ein upload?
again, we never get to see and understand the place of the organ in the church, the size of the hall, the position of pedaltowers or a general feeling of the room. its alway your obsession with stops and fingers...
What??

There are smaller organs that sound much nicer than this one with its absurdly large number of registers.
I agree. It's interesting but too overwhelming
Paul is fantastic, but his style of demonstration. Here doesn’t really work that well with this type of instrument, because it is intended to be played in a very specific style.
The organ sounds better in person than recording. Also, this is one Mike Fazio's best organs that he built.
Poor acoustics!!!
Not the best acoustics!!!
