Thanks! I am really looking forward to new uploads about newly restored 100inch reeds. Greetings from Czech republic!

That low frequency is just crazy! You've got a lot of guts climbing up all those levels.. with or without a camera!!😉

Non pipe organ people have little appreciation for these organ parts. This is very cool sir. Thank you.

Very musical.

It is kind of like a horn loaded bass drum in a sense. This is 1920s subwoofer technology, organ builders called it "effet d'orage" ("thunder effect").

Sounds like a Steam Engine at Full Steam.

I wouldn't get into that chamber with that thing firing off. Concern with the urban legends of sudden, uncontrollable urge to empty the bowels...

If that actually happened the organ couldn't have been built! It's just intense and thrilling, no "bad things" have ever happened as a result of playing these stops!

@@cnagorka I guess so. Love the vids!, I've wondered about this instrument since reading of it as a kid in the 70s.

The low C with plastic bag sounded more like a Harley-Davidson on tickover!!🤣😂

I’m in love. 😍

I was friends with former Boardwalk Hall organist Tim Hoag and h described the 64' as sounding like a helicopter. I would love to experience it from the back of the auditorium to hear what it sounds like. I was up in the same level of that chamber back around 1995 when Dennis McGurk was the curator.

Awful lot of upper harmonics, if you can call those mechanical noises that. Hopefully the sound is cleaner when listening from the auditorium, otherwise quite useless.

@@imeprezime1069 I am quite familiar with organs and like clean low frequencies. This diaphone has much too much banging noise and is badly out of tune also. 64' flue would be interesting but i guess the attack would be too slow to be useful. For some low frequency content check this video with frequencies dow to 5 Hz: kzread.info/dash/bejne/k3yeyNukpdbeo7A.html

Are there any good vids out there that attempt to capture that sound out in the auditorium? I suppose mics don't think much of the 8 Hz fundamental. There in the chamber, it sounds more like my clothes washer. It never occurred to me that my Whirlpool might be a one-note musical instrument. Since humans cannot hear 8 to 16 Hz, I assume that you just feel it, plus hear all the racket from the "reed." Is the CCCCC resonator really 64' long or 32'?

It's really 64' long!

I don’t get it it’s a Low C and it has a mallet beating inside the wall of the pipe but it just sounds like a pipe that’s being beat by a mallet what does it sound like out in the auditorium And what does it sound like when played with other cords

The sliding tuners on top, those big slats of wood which cover up a slot on the side of the pipe. The more you cover up the slot, the longer the pipe (in effect), the lower the pitch.

And how else would you propose trying to hold a camera while navigating the narrow confines of a pipe chamber without hitting/damaging pipes? Have you been in one before? Just walking around in one WITHOUT a camera is difficult enough.
