Yes, please--do a video at some point about these "double languids". I can't seem to find information on them anywhere. Your videos are always interesting and great for organ geeks like myself.
I love the Ethel Merman reference! It will be interesting to learn how double languids play into this. Is it like having (gulp!) *two* Ethels in full voice?
Thanks for noticing, I thought more people would comment about the Ethel Merman clip. I also thought of Martha Raye's commercials where she says "Take it from the big mouth!"
this was incredibly interesting. would love to hear more about pipe construction and voicing. is there any books you would recommend that explain these kind of things?
Anyone know the dimensions and scaling of a standard Wurlitzer tibia? There really aren’t any available and the couple I’ve seen were$$$$$. I have the 12 note offset chest for a standard scale tibia and would be able to build one from scratch.
The Diapason at 24" in diameter is between a Scale 12 (24.45") and Scale 13 (23.41"). While it is the heaviest metal 32' Diapason in the world, it is not the largest. There are a few examples of 25" and 26" 32' Diapasons in the UK at St. George's Hall and Liverpool Cathedral respectively. Also it is rumored that the 32' Diapason at Royal Albert Hall is 30" in diameter, make it largest in the world, but I have been unable to confirm that.
Well technically at 40"x40" scale, at least two Wurlitzer 32' Diaphones I know of- one for Roosevelt Cemetery opus 998 (on 50" wind) and also the one for Denver Auditorium opus 154, would be 5.76" larger than #1 scale (39.37"). The equation to calculate the diameter equivalent of a square pipe is: Sqrt(Internal Depth of Pipe x Internal Width of Pipe /3.1416) x 2. @@cnagorka

Apparently, Audsley talks about them in one of his books on organ building.
Honestly, its incredible how much your video quality has improved from the start of the channel, especially since the last visits
Great! You taught me stuff I never knew that I wanted to know! Love your videos!
There's more to come in this series
Don't you just hate it when you misread your organ contract's fine print?
You're a great guy. I love this organ. Keep up the great videos!
Fabulous explanation! You did a brilliant job helping us understand the craft involved in what makes a pipe sound the way it sounds. B R A V O !
Thanks! Next visit I plan to do a similar video with regard to reed stops.
Fascinating!

@@cnagorka Please include Martha if you do a video about the Grand Ophicleide trebles. "Goodnight, Sisters!"
@@principals16842 Good idea
Wow, I learned a lot; thanks! 😁

I would recommend the old standard, William Barnes "The Contemporary American Organ" which can be found just about everywhere.

Does this mean that the 32’ Diapason in pedal left would be a scale #1?
Its probably #0.2😂

So in scaling the other way, do they use ought numbers like in fish hooks? 3, 2,1, 1/0, 2/0 3/0?
Nope, there's no need as nobody builds a pipe that's bigger than one meter in diameter, so there's no call for it!
@@cnagorkaAh, of course, never seen a 6'+/- scaled pipe. if they did...it would be in THIS instrument!

@@dougbackman7788 You're right.
73 pipes. Would those 73 pipes be for the third keyboard up from the bottom two keyboards?
The Great is manual II, so the second up from the bottom.
SCale numbers are very difficult to understand (terrible at math).
