Wow I have big respect for Mr. Marshall and Mr. Ogletree, what a beautiful instrument they created.
Well we finally found Doug Marshall again? Hello Doug, we enjoy you playing the ORGAN....
Well let me tell you the first time I heard a Hammond in a church setting I thought I would puke! I guess I was spoiled by having been raised in a church with a real Skinner pipe organ.Which after several years of piano study I decided to jump to the organ bench. My home church & those pipes were wonderful ! Fast track to Virgil Fox's 'Black Beauty' was a great let down. I thought the sound for the most part was dreadful. Not completely bad though in some stops. Now this M&O organ with sampling technology is just incredible ! I have heard Douglas Marshall play enough of these instruments on CZcams to know that at last the electronic organ has come of age! What a fantastic sound ! I look forward to someday hopping on the bench and giving one of these organs a real workout first hand.
Rick Tomlinson The church I grew up in (Southern Baptist) had a Hammond.
In fact, Hammonds were originally invented for churches who couldn't afford a pipe organ.
Very good Video, interisting a lot!!!!
I used to repair electronic church organs. I find this utterly fascinating.
M&O, Rodgers, Walker are the best digital organs you can get. Stay far away from the others.
You forgot Allen... if anything, they’ve got a leg up on Rodgers.
Opening song: Contata No. 29
1:16 why is “Holy Holy Holy” used in so many videos specifically about organs? One of the best hymns, but perhaps pick another classic old hymn cause HHH is used constantly.
Because it is so widely known across all major denominations -probably more so than any other hymn. You aren't going to impress the Episcopalians with "Do Lord" - right?
It's amazing how much money people will pay for an electronic organ... Almost criminal.
and yet they dont last no more than 30 years or less, what a waste of money
@@railroadjay1 neither do real organs not maintained. All in all if you don't have enough money or space an electric organ is good. Depending on which one.
@@Lilkenneyofficial funny it is that Trinity Church us replacing their M&O with a real pipe organ huh?
Especialy when you can get multi dementinal sound with a pipe organ that will last for centuries
It's insane. What a waste. A real pipe organ will pay for itself. Over a time of 100 years, a pile organ will need only minor work from time to time. A digital organ will have to be replaced At least 5 or 6 or even 7 times in a 100 years. That's money down the drain. The pipe organ will last for centuries
0:43 They sit the wrong way around. It’s M&O not O&M 😉
I guess no one on here rates Allen as a reputable manufacturer.
Allen who?
Reputable? Never!
Dennis a
Right?? LOL! I'd rather an Emenee organ any day over Allen 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂
PrezidentHughes Nope, they’re one of the slimiest companies around with their libelous and unethical business practices.
praestant8
On target, on point with that assessment Praestant8! Real low life’s there indeed, I refuse to play any of their instruments. I’m so sorry that I never got to hear and play the Opus 1 of Marshall & Ogletree at Trinity Church Wall Street as that would’ve been a treat indeed.
750.000$ for a digital organ??? are you mad or what.
what about some good real pipes for that money? they say buy a digital becouse the real is too expensive. well, isn't this far too expensive for a fake thing?
Youre just an hater
@@Willorga1708bux no. i have my digital organ at home, for practice.
what is the name of the instrument? "PIPE organ". so it should have pipes, unless a lack of space or money make the real one unaffordable. this is the only reason to chose the fake thing.
tell me about professional pianists that having money and space for a grand coda still prefer a clavinova. would be crazy, isn't it?
why this should change to normal when talking about the organ?
let's talk about longevity. a digital organ will be over in 30 years. technology will be more advanced, will be difficult to find spare parts.
now let's talk about real mechanical organ. almost immortal with proper maintenance. in italy we have some organs dated back 1550 still working. do you really think that a digital one will be ever worth of them?
and more: how can you be an organ lover if you don't accept that the real thing will always be better than a digital replica?
@@Willorga1708bux i know that Klais, Rieger, Casavant, Kuhn (just some of most famous organ builders) would make a marvellous 3/P 45 stop organ with all that money.
but hey, no. lets use it for a digital one. I'm no hater. maybe you hate the King of instruments.
Funny how Trinity Curch Wall street has had enough of their digital organ and have signed a contract for a new pipe organ. With a digital organ its money down the drain because it won't last beyond 25 years but a pipe organ will last for centuries
Your spot on
These digital organs are suitable for garage musicians and that's about it. Having one of these in a church or cathedral is only slightly less embarrassing than a Hammond.
How?
@@Lilkenneyofficial it's fake.
@@davidecymba so true
Are you deaf? Depressing....
