Technically that is a Bassoon Regal. A Regal Length Bassoon Stop made from Wood. Still incredible that you get that much organ into that small of a package. If it were full compass manual and pedals I would be considering it.
I find it hard to believe that the organ we are hearing is the one described, only because it is stated that all of the pipes are wood, however it sounds like metal pipes to my ears. Someone tell me I am wrong. Also, how much does this "box organ" cost? Tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars?
It’s a common misconception that the material used to make an organ pipe is very important for the sound. However, the material is less important than the width and length, whether it’s open or stopped or somewhere in between, the height and width of the mouth, and small details around the mouth. Almost any material can be made to sound the way the builder or voicer wants, because the pipe doesn’t vibrate, the air within it does.
If what you say is true, then why don't organ builders make all of the organ's pipes out of the cheapest material they can find (cardboard, plywood, plastic, fiberboard, glass, etc.) instead of making some pipes out of certain metals and combinations of metals, (Lead, tin, spotted metal) and other pipes out of wood. If the material makes no difference in sound, why use different ones for different tonal effects.@@ccoraxfan

@@garysmith394 Organ builders prefer certain materials for various reasons, including: historical tradition, appearance, ease of use, the builder’s experience, following an existing design, etc. Certain materials are easier to voice for certain sounds, for example pipe metal with a high percentage of tin is very flexible and easier to manipulate than, say, antimonial lead, which is quite hard and more difficult to voice, so tin is preferred for certain pipes that require more delicate voicing. And in the case of this organ, wood is lighter and more durable for a portable organ. Because the material is only a small portion of the cost of a pipe organ, its cost is fairly low priority. I can tell you that organ pipes have been made out of all of those materials you listed and more. And if you ask a dozen organ builders why they use certain materials, you will get a dozen answers!
Far exceeded my expectations formed at first sight, especially considering that this organ takes up the same space as would a decent sized harmonium. My imagination at work here, wondering if an extension of say 8' Prestant pipes, wall mounted to provide a speaking facade as well as to enhance the impression of size and "presence".
A little bigger and taller with 3 ranks of metal pipes and 32 pedals and a 32 ' reed...It would be a match for digital organs...What is the cost of this one ?
@@HarpmuziekRegina I think we have a problem of communication, here. I simply wanted to know if the bench can be moved, or is it (as I imagine it would have to be) fixed?
Since this organ is made entirely of wood, would it suffer in a hot, tropical country like Brazil? In my city most of the year the temperature maintains itself between 20° and 30° Celsius, but for 2 months in the winter it can drop to 10° or even less.
Dear mr. Joao Pedro Couto, thanks for your interest in our worldwide unique organs. The weather you told me is not a problem. In our country the temperature range over the whole year is about : minus 10°C to plus 32° C. What is the power voltage in your country: 127Volt or 220Volt?? PLease let me know what you think about it. Kind regards, Rinze Witteveen Organ builder The Netherlands.

This organ is full mechanical. The 8 foot stop on man 2 is from man 1. The Basson 16 reed stop is situated in the organ bench, the first in the world!!

Amazing for such a small organ...The idea of the Basson 16 ' reed stop is really good. Well played.

yes and a little bigger with few more stops..@@ajsliter
Nice small organ. I like the 16'. This recording shows again, that at least half of a good organ sound is made up by a large room.
Or more to the point: a good, reverberant acoustic! A large room can be "deader than a doornail," as is often the case!
Every musical instrument plays a duet with its environment.
Tolles gut durchdachtes Instrument, das von spuckenden Holzgedackt erlöst.
That organ is on my wish list!
If I were you, I would say go and get it👍
Im amazed how a tiny box can make so much sound!
Yes really..Well constructed
Finally a pipe organ that can fit in a house
Bach Prelude and fugue in C Major. My all time favourite!
What a magnificent little organ. If I win the lottery...,
This recording of the instrument sounds wonderful!
That's some real genius
Wow that is so impressive .
Depth is only 59cm. Impressive, given all the pipe work to be crammed inside the organ case.
Which means tuning and maintenance will be a big pain!
Wow that is A LOT of organ for such a compact design, that's some serious stuff you've got there, the real deal ;))
its a testament of true craftsmanship. 10 ranks of pipes AND a blower all neatly packed into such a small box
@@joshuacarlisle2804 I count 7 ranks in the box and the 8th rank in the bench - still absolutely amazing!
Awesome organ! I wish my small congregation would install one, perfect size.

Yes I too felt it had some metal pipes..

Amazing. As soon as God delivers it to my house.
So it's pretty much a self contained pipe organ, whereas all functioning parts are contained in the console and bench?

Semplicemente meraviglioso
Straordinario strumento
Magnificent!
OH !!! MAGNIFIQUE !!!
Amazing!! It sounds very good for the size! How did they cram all those pipes in there?!?
Try tuning it!! Tuner must be expert. Love to have one!! But I am too old to even dream of it.
@@charlesmoore1762 Whats too old ?
@@benedictdsilva3954 about 83. By the time I got my hands and feet working together they’d be building a box to put me in 😒
If like 2 please. Thank you kindly.
A little bigger and taller with 3 ranks of metal pipes and 32 pedals and a 32 ' reed...It would be a match for digital organs...What is the cost of this one ?
Sounds and looks very fine.
Is it possible to move the position of the bench, or is it fixed?
Building such an instrument you need to think out of the box ☺☺☺
Why think out of the box? You can move the upper shelf forward and backward....
@@HarpmuziekRegina I think we have a problem of communication, here.
I simply wanted to know if the bench can be moved, or is it (as I imagine it would have to be) fixed?
@@Offshoreorganbuilder I gathered that it is possible to slide the "seat" of the bench forward and back. Very clever
Does the organ have the ability to switch between frequencies? A440 to A415, etc.?
How much in US dollars? Thx!
Nice
Where is your workshop
What piece is being played?

Hi , great Organ , how much is?

Where is your workshop, and, what is de price. Can you send it to México city?
The workshop is in The Netherlands. It can be sent to Mexico. Please inform via our website www.witteveen-orgelmaker.nl for prices.
Great organ but why do you show only 4 pictures again and again...
So we know that the builder is from holland
no way they fit a 16 foot pipe in there
It's a reed stop.
