Excellent -- I'd love to hear this in person and that space. For the record, if Mr. Kegg's voice could be made into a stop, I would purchase it!
Obviously not an overt promotion for Kegg; however, the whole installation displayed a meticulous attention to every detail that inspired confidence in the builder.
I have learned so much from these videos the past few days that I have been on sick leave . They are truly a treat . I had no idea that organ were even still being made in the U.S.
Kegg organ co does excellent work!
What a tonally fine instrument!
I learned about the pipe organ, but my lack of reading comprehension in English makes me mourn the lack of study.
Thank you for teaching me various things.
What majestic, sonorous tones!
That was really lovely. Thank you!
Maybe one of the best things to come out of this past year
One of the best OMF presentations ever. I love the 8' Diapason on the Great, such rich harmonics all by itself. At treat to hear it at mass, too.
I'm really looking forward to this!
Excellent set of videos, as usual, Brent. I remember going to this church when I was a student at St. Louis U. in the late 60's.
A very nice installation. Congrats Kegg crew!
This is incredible!
This is such a beautiful installation. Congratulations to the parish! I know the video doesn't do it justice and that room has such amazing reverberance. I'd love to experience it in person someday.
Great job !!!
This is a grand sounding organ!
Lovely instrument!
Very good job Kegg
Re my tuning comment below --- funny thing: I inadvertently had the CZcams playback speed at 1.5x. This was more than enough to affect the frequencies toward a surprisingly out of tune result. Played back at normal speed, the organ (of course!) sounds more than just fine! Sorry for the original query!
So you watched the video/heard the audio at 1.5x speed and didn't notice anything weird? lol
Delicious harmonic flute
Wonderful video - and a treat to get the "tour" from the builder himself. My only thought is that I'd prefer to have the Zimbelstern control at the console rather than up in the chamber. I loved the pencil drawer! One fun thing approaching an unfamiliar pipe organ is how the one turns the thing on. This is yet one more unusual way to do it! :-)
Every Zimbelstern installation I've ever seen has the controls in the chamber. I only use ours once or twice a year, so it wouldn't be a huge deal - ours is digital.
@@thebog11 I've seen one or two at the console. My church (in my profile pic) has two Zimbelsterns. The main organ up front has one with six bells. The antiphonal in the gallery (where the console is) has a second five-bell one - which I discovered has a speed control on the side. It just depends on the builder, I guess. :)
We usually have the Zimbelstern controls on the console. This one was added at the end of the project and there wasn’t much real estate left on the console. There are 3 light dimmer controls under the left key desk and the control panel in a drawer on the right.
My church is in desperate need of a new pipe organ. In fact, our cruddy old instrument just died tonight while I was in the middle of playing a service. Had to jump over to my Johannus One keyboard. So intrigued by Kegg! Thanks for sharing this!
How about getting an electronic organ console like that of Richard McVeigh in the UK with the appropriate speakers and controllers using the superb Hauptwerk software. Hauptwerk is based on recordings of every note and stop of the great organs in the UK and Europe. These items are not cheap but they are far less expensive than an equivalent mechanical pipe organ.
Thanks for both videos! So wonderful to see and hear a new pipe organ coming to life.
Really needs an independent pedal 16 reed. In the UK we stopped relying on borrowed 16s in the late 80s!
I noticed an Iota smart powersupply/charger. Nice addition.
Absolutely fantastic, thank you so very much for making this film possible. I love all your production, especially the 2 videos from the Fox theatre which was absolutely fabulous, especially the chamber tour.Please, one question, who was the builder of the cymbalstern, just delightful. I’ve meet Charlie when he was in Bermuda a few years ago when we worked together on the Willis organ in Christchurch, Devonshire. Should you meet again please give him my kindest regards and many congratulation on this outstanding little organ, bravo! Thank you very much indeed for all that you do in promoting and supporting the pipe organ industry!!! Adrian Ridgeway in BERMUDA.
Google "Der Zimbelstern". CZcams is not letting me post the link, possibly because the website is not secure.
@@thebog11 Thank you very, very much, will do as you suggest!!! Take and thanks again. Watching the film once again!!! Best, Adrian.! 😀😀
This was very informative, Brent! I'm glad you didn't make a movie of "wiring the relay on the Fox organ." lol
Very educational. Excellent voicing. I would love to learn about your recording technique and microphone placement especially in a sanctuary that appears to be circular.
For the demonstration, the microphones were placed very high and rather close to the organ. For the background music, or the mass at the end, the microphones were farther away on the other side of the room. We learned it was actually very easy to capture the organ from almost anywhere in the space.
Sehr interessant!
Love the Gt Diapason and Sw Strings and flutes. Sw Tierce doesn't really come through on the recording.Ch Dulciana and Concert fl also lovely.
Tuba is fabulous... Love the attack. ARS did a Willis tuba for me... always excellent work. Could use more pedal with full organ but that might be the limitations of the recording.
Great videos, Brent--thank you!! Does the tuba extend to 16' and 4' as well, in addition to having 16' and 4' couplers? Thanks!
No, it's only an 8 foot, 61-note stop.
@@OrganMediaFoundation Thanks!
I'm really curious as to what kind of stop the 32' Harmonics in the pedal is? Is it a reed stop, and what does it sound like? Thank you! This video is really fun to watch, seeing how everything gets put in to it's right spot.
The Harmonics plays a cluster of 5 pipes for each of notes 1-12. It gives the illusion of a 32' reed. At note 13, it plays the 16' Trumpet, making a genuine 32' reed stop for notes 13-32. The pipes of the notes 1-12 are in an harmonic series to make this effect. The Harmonics pitches are all drawn from the 16' Bourdon. The pitches for low C are: 16' C-G-8'E-A#-4'D
What is the piece played beginning at 36:34 ? Majestic sound !
Beautiful organ! But I have a couple questions about the build: How long will the paper tubing in the first part of the video last? My gut reaction is that it could leak sooner than other materials, but I'm not sure. Also, it seems like the crawl to the great pipes behind the facade could get old for a tuner. That door looked pretty small! No hate towards Kegg, this is a fantastic instrument!
I noticed 4 expression shoes is the 4th a crescendo pedal??
It is a Crescendo pedal.
I believe the four shoes are Choir, Swell, Tuba (the Tuba is in its own box), and Crescendo.
Like the German style console :D
The tonal finishing sure seems to be a rather lengthy process!
👍............
Brent what’s the name of the piece playing from 7:19
I believe that the Fugue in E minor by J.S. Bach (BWV 535). All of the background music for those videos was recorded in one rapid-fire marathon session shortly before the video was published.
The "cathedral fugue" in E minor from BWV 533.
The organist's one foot pedal technique was interesting. 🤔
Yeah, it seemed very "theateresque" and could possibly contribute to the sensation of lack of weight in the pedal division.
it worked...
He seemed to feel the need to keep his right foot on the expression pedal, even though it didn't seem to be required. Possibly unfamiliarity with the piece. Assuming that he was the one playing the Franck E Major Chorale, anyone who is capable of playing that piece is capable of playing pedals with both feet.
This organ has much better clearer and cleaner sounds . It sounds somewhat similar in sound to northern German organs in sound qualities and tonals.
I enjoyed both videos. But - why does this organ sound like it still needs to be tuned in certain areas? And, I'm not referring to the celestes. The unison relationships within some of the flu ranks need some attention. No?
HOW MANY RANKS?
お昼ご飯を食べながら、待っています。
All that's missing is a back rest on the bench.
The organist seem bored lol
Organ Schmorgan
Sounds Fabby-Poo
Really enjoyed the organ, however I think it's extremely irresponsible to hold in-person church services at this stage of the pandemic. Some of the parishioners weren't even wearing masks. I'm surprised an usher didn't ask them to leave.
We've held in-person worship since June. Masks are strictly enforced. Zero spread.
@@jeffwhite4227 Good luck.
Who the hell asked what you think? I don't recall anyone asking.
Thank You so much, Karen.
