I can't believe the power of the pedal reeds. They are absolutely amazing.

A wonderful instrument and what high quality craftsmanship. Wow.

Thank you for the extensive chamber time, after hearing the various colors and tones my next interest is always seeing the pipe chambers!

What An awesome organ! I've herd the organ many times on the radio program pipe dreams!!!

Every voice is glorious on this organ! The professor seems enthralled too, 30 years in.

What a nice surprise to find this video! I was a graduate Music Education student at the University at Buffalo when this instrument was installed, and had many opportunities to help "play it in" during that time. I had studied with David Fuller as an undergraduate, and with Ron Martin in grad school. Hello Ron! One of the highlights of my experiences there was to perform J.S. Bach's "Prelude & Fugue in A Minor", (BWV 543) in concert on this instrument. FABULOUS! This organ is tremendously versatile in its ability to accommodate music of any period. Its concept was truly audacious, and the execution flawless. It was a real pleasure to play on it ...

I love Fisk organs! The first one I played was Opus 112 at an Open House in 2000...

I have played along in a couple of groups with that instrument. I love it and that hall! Thanks for featuring it.

incredible instrument.

Audio is spot on this time, thank you OMF!

Fantastic sound. Every stop could solo. The chambers would make me think twice about having one at my home church! Looks tricky to work on.

man i would love to play on this

its a lovely instrument with lots of character.

How immaculately clean and fresh looking! Not a speck of dust even after thirty-two years. Fisk must have some skinny buggers working for them as some of those service spaces would defy all but a leprechaun to inveigle themselves into! Nice to see the console where the organist is where he should be - on a pedestal up high, so to speak.

My school!

Can you explain the stable wind control? Not being an organist, I’ve never heard of that before and have no clue how it works or how and when one might use it.

It sort of helps knowing something about the instrument. Some instruments have the ability to engage or disengage wind stabilizing devices. This allows for steady wind, or more unstable wind which some believe is more authentic to early music.

Early organs (before electric motors) had wind supplied manually by one or more people, animals, water wheels, etc. The pressure was relatively low. When many stops were drawn and big chords played, the wind pressure would often drop making the pipe pitches drop (unevenly) making the music sound out of tune. It would recover when the chord was released. More authentic, is an arguable term with good reasons on both sides, a matter of taste. Enjoy!

I'm dying to know how you are supposed to tune/service the Swell.

Yeah I'm drawing question marks as well. There must be a way throughout one of the ranks leading up to the swell box but don't quote me on that.

I wonder if there is ceiling access from the back.
