This organ, was restored in the Flentrop Orgelbauw factory, by me, Manuel da Costa. It was my favourite when I was studying restoration in the second half of the 1960s.

Wow!!!!

It may be old, it may not be very big, but the sound so beautiful.

I love the meantone demonstration at the end.

A passing “ dissonant chord “ still sounds sweet in this building

Don't play the forbidden chords, lol.. Love those medieval riffs, eventually I'll learn a few..

A absolutely beautiful sounding organ. Beats the modern big beasts!

That's what I've realized from listening to these very old organs. Bigger and louder does NOT mean better, especially for a church. If only we could once again capture the gentle sweetness and warm tone these ancients give, people might fall in love with the organ as an instrument all over again!

I was eagerly awaiting F# major and man was I satisfied :D

Very interesting Wim! It shows just how much organs have developed over the years, from something very mechanical like this to the more modern electrified instruments. Still sounds great, even though it is nearly 500 years old!

A good organ + a good church organ player knowing the limits of the instrument = nice sound.

Just perfect presentation of the organ, thanks for sharing!

Mooi om je zo bezig te zien en te horen. Hartelijke groeten.

Another neat find during the Coronavirus Spring. How many plagues, wars and government crisis has this organ been played through?

What a wonderfull old organ !

The beautiful organ in the Martini church in Groningen dates back till mid 15th century and is later several times rebuild and extended.

Excellente présentation, bonne prise de son. parfait.

Imagine the number of hymns, it has played...😮🙆‍♂️🎉

Love this place thank you for having me :)

I love when he said: forbidden chords, because it is very old there is no Well-tempered tuning at that time.

It was well tempered but not well-tempered, 😉.

Awesome organ, great tuning and beautiful stops!

LOL, 'the *FORBIDDEN CHORDS'* 😁 'well-tmpered' was not a thing in those days. For such a tiny keyboard range, it actually does have a good selection of stops. Would be even nicer with a small pedal board.😉

Erg goede video, en prachtige demonstratie van het effect van de middentoonstemming op verschillende akkoorden / toonsoorten!

Fantastisch instrument; de computer van de late middeleeuwen en gaat ook veel langer mee na een update ieder paar honderd jaar!

Interessant filmpje Wim, leuke mini-documentaire.

Amazing testimony!!!

Interessante geschiedenis, Wim!

Love it, guys! :)

I must visit this Church.

Krewerd, the second oldest organ in The Netherlands ( kzread.info/dash/bejne/mIGKucGeeMqWk6w.html ) is open to the public practically every weekend and if you want you can contact the custodian and play this beautiful old instrument

I love this

LOVE THIS❤❤❤

Very interesting demonstration of a lovely instrument. So, no pedalboard or pedal stops. Only a manual 16'? The seperate 2 2/3' Quint seems redundant (?) with a Sesquialtera of 2 2/3' + 1 3/5'. But maybe it filled-out the Mixture harmonics.

very good. documentary

Great!

Bedankt

I rather thought that the side organ in St Lauren's, Alkmaar, was a few years older than this one.

I would rather hear one chord played on this organ than the entire works of Bach played on "the more modern electrified instruments".

+Rachid Mafhoum I can't be your friend, we live so far away. However, I can be your Christian advisor. :-) What you first must do, is believe in Jesus Christ as your savior, and pray and ask Him for forgiveness of your sins. After that, you then must accept the gift of the Holy Spirit. As you progress in your time of being a Christian, read His holy scripture, show His kindness and love to all the people that you encounter, and go around preaching the gospel of our Lord! If you have access to the Internet, you can read the Holy Bible through it, if you can't have a physical bible. Another step of salvation, which comes after accepting his gift, is baptism. Be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. I will be praying for you. Peace be with you, brother of Christ.

It is not a big organ but the sound is beautiful.

W-What do the forbidden chords do?

leuke docu

Very small keys...

Why is it forbidden on this one ?

@Fierywolfthing

7 жыл бұрын

Because the pipes were made and tuned to Just Intonation, meaning some intervals are wider on certain keys than others; in other words, A minor on this organ sounds man times more harmonious than your modern pipe organ, but B major sounds more dissonant than modern organs. Pretty much all modern instruments are tuned to Equal Temperament. Different tuning system, so some keys sound better, and some sound worse.

Why does it sound out of tune? Is it a different temperament?

I'd say "The wrong chords", how he describes it at the end, do sound somewhat out of tune, but the rest, sounds just awesome!

general comments lol: idk why but the tomb of francois von bredehoff kinda scares me a bit the keys look old as the bones of a 500+ year old man the pipes sound wonderful, and I barely hear any reeds just flutes

Waarom is dit gesprek in het Engels gevoerd? Ze zijn toch allebei Nederlander?

So back in the day, what produced the air pressure to power all those pipes?
