Фильм және анимация

Finally the organ re-pitch is completed and all the pipes have been returned. Director of Music Steven Grahl, Cathedral choristers and members of the congregation tell us how they like the sound of the organ in its new form.

    Very many thanks. Pipewatch has been a fascinating series and a real pleasure to see Harrisons specialists at work. I am looking forward to visiting the Cathedral to hear this marvellous organ - and especially the Tuba Mirabilis.

    The sound on an organ like this, is why people buy Hauptwerk Copies with the pre-recorded samples of these organs.. IT sounds really good. I worked for an organ company here in the States and you will NEVER hear an organ sound nearly this good. The Ruffati at Chorale Ridge isn't too far off. BUT this is till 'the sound" of what an organ should be. on a side note. You can tell the kids are reading off of a script ;) .

    I believe this organ has completely independent ranks for all stops on the pedal division including the 32' stops. I like that very much.

    I wonder why the organ was originally tuned "sharp," relative to A 440. Wasn't A 435 the standard pitch until the 20th century? I would have expected that it was tuned A 435, and that they had to bring it up to A 440. Am I missing something? In hearing the "side by side" comparison, the pre-re-pitched organ did sound rather shrill. It's amazing and admirable that they did the digital sampling before the re-tuning. I hope he can patent that robot. There are many other organs that need to be sampled, and he could rent out the machine. One very admirable attribute of the British, is that they preserved so much of their industrial heritage, from stationary steam engines, to locomotives, to old cars, to architecture...to Lord Nelsons' flag ship, to Isambard Brunnel's SS Great Britain. Thank you. Kids theses days benefit is seeing these, so they can appreciate the origins of their cell phones & cars. For so long, we Americans, built exquisite buildings, and amazing machines, and in a mere 40 years, tore them down to be replaced by some hideous "modern" monstrosities. Example the original Pennsylvania Train Station in NYC. What a loss. The Chrysler Building was restored because of historical building restoration tax breaks. For once, our increasingly idiotic Congress did something useful, that benefits future generations.
