Corrections: All Ott stops are replaced by Hendrik Ahrend during the 2018 restauration.
At 7:50 it is the Blockfloit 4’ of the RP not the Hohlflöte 8’
Register notes:
MA = vermutlich Andreas de Mare (Kloster Thedinga, vor 1609)
MM = Marten de Mare unter Verwendung älterer Stimmen aus dem Kloster Thedinga (1608/1609)
Hi = Albertus Anthonius Hinsz (1763/1766)
Hö = Wilhelm Höffgen, Brond de Grave-Winter (1845-1850)
Ro = Rohlfing (1888)
Kl = Klassmeier (1924)
HA = Hendrik Ahrend
A&B = Ahrend & Brunzema (1963-1971)

Back in the 1970's, my best friend and I would get together to listen to European organ records at least one evening a week. We would have never believed back then, that these wonderful videos would be available to see and hear as if we were visiting in person. What a blessing. Sadly, I lost my friend in the 1990's, before this was possible. Thank you Balint.
I love the way the 16’ Sordun sweetly growls, like a little kitten.
Great kazoo stop
One of the best organists giving a decent rather than a cursory look at this fine instrument.
The only equally in-depth look at an instrument is Dupont's look around the very different organ at S. Sernin, Toulouse. An equally thorough look (though it's in French).
Hi Balint, thank you very much for the "walk-thru"! It's always so interesting to hear the individual stops, and the various registrations. A beautifully voiced instrument, powerful reeds, and superbly played!
My mother dragged teenaged me around churches and rehearsal halls in summers. Your videos remind me very much of those days; part performance, part exploration of an instrument.
I love those sounds of this organ, particular the sound of old style instrument imitation like the reeds and cumber-horn.
I think you knew what 8:30 was going to do! What an extra-ordinary stop is the 16' Sordun! Laugh a minute here! Wonderful.
Made me laugh a little too.

Always wanted to hear this organ, especially after the Ahrend re-re-restoration! Sounds beautiful, silvery but with lots of quint hidden in there - thank you Balint!
At the entrance --Right away 1 of my most favorite psalms ! A very much Reformed Church ! A nice compliment of a lot of beautiful stops .
Ancestry seaches brought me here. My 6th ggrandfather Jan Jelius (1691-1764) and his family would have sat in this church and listened to this amazing organ. Thank you for sharing this fun video!
I played there once at a concert. I really liked the Flute Stops at the both Rückpositivs and Oberwerk Traversflöte. The Sound of the Organ is really beautifull.
Toujours passionnant à écouter et à suivre aux claviers des plus beaux instruments. Merci M. Karosi.
I appreciate the time and thoroughness you put into demonstrating these organs. Individual interesting stops, groupings. So informative for people like me that love this stuff but will never have the opportunity to poke around at instruments like this.
Love those reeds, they sound great. Is it me, or is the the 1' Oktave particularly assertive in this instrument? I'd swear I could pick it out in the full plenum demonstration.
Thanks again.
So many beautiful stops, beautifully voiced and played.
Merci bien ! 👏👍❤️
I missed this! I love this organ. A nice balance of stops and power. Thanks for the tour Balint.
That tertian is quite pungent. At first I wasn't sure if I liked it but I'll admit that it grew on me, if only because it wasn't shrieking and screaming but rather singing. It worked surprisingly well with the regal as well.
We love those assertive, almost-shouting but still singing tierces :)
I like the Pos. being split so you can see behind you and down the nave.
It's a pleasure to see the care for these hand down instruments. Must be an honour take service on this instrument. Thank for share your demonstration (and well improvisations) and internal shape of pipes (regale :-) Balint. Enjoy with Music!
Once again amazing work by Ahrend. Chapeau!!!
The positive organs on their own have more stops than the pipe organ at the church were I play
Still my favorite organbuilder of all times!
sounds amazing, I'd love to play it!
The 8ft regal is superb!
Fantastic. It sounds like the music from the time. How kool that it is the same as original. It sure sounds good. Thanks for showing us in some detail all the different sounds with the music of the time.
Oh wow! Thank you so much for this presentation! I haven't been able to hear it when i was in Leer last time and i only knew it of a few recordings and radio features until now. So: Thank you very very much!
Превосходная демонстрация от Балинта Кароси!!! Всегда слушаю этого Мастера Игры!!!
Meraviglioso. Grazie, signore.
Thanx a lot! Of course there are no more stops from Ott. Ahrend replaced them all.
Admirable how you let the organ play from y o u r heart!
8:11 That Sordun stop sounds amazing.
Reminds me of the 1610 Compenius!
Thank you.
super, wie ein Instrument!
Köszönöm Szépen!
Sordun like Kitty purring !
wunderbar
Excellent!!!
Bello!
Arendht insuperabile
cool
I greatly enjoyed this demonstration, Balint. It is especially enjoyable to share in your enjoyment of the instrument. If you have a moment, it would be very helpful to me (as a beginning organist) if you could explain the stop designations like MA, HA, MM, or combinations of those, like MA/HA/MM. Many thanks again.
I now see the full description above ... not sure how I missed that before ... thanks!
Handsome silvery shiny diapason pipes.
At 6:03 there are two rks of 'capped' pipes - what are these? what do they sound like? and how are they tuned? Obviously there's no such thing as sliders in this organ and the two front rks at 6:03 are tuned by 'coning'. Waht a lot of voice this organ has - a 'Statement' organ! Fascinating.
They are the Hohlföte 8' or Gedackt 8' pipes cut to length. Once they are cut to length and sealed, only minor tuning can be done by adjusting their side barbs.
Wie kann das "Leer" sein und noch eine Orgel da stehen?
(How can it be "Empty" and still have an organ?)
I still say that your organ "explorations" are better than many recitals appearing elsewhere on yt.
They say that the name "Leer" is arriving from "hler" which means something like "pasture".
Nice air synthesiser
What's the piece at the beginning of the video?
It's Psalm 98 from Genevan Psalter.
@@Poupoulcorouse
"Nun sagen Dank und lobt den Herren" .
I hope, I remember the words correctly.
Wouderful instrument, fantastic organist! Thanks for exploring this instrument.
I always hear the line in my mind "Du, Gottes Volk, sollst es verkünden: Groß ist des HErrn Barmherzigkeit". The right hymn for this video.
Dear Balint: Continue youre organ explorations in Germany.
In the south, there are wonderful instruments in Neresheim, Roth an der Roth, Ochsenhausen - and finally (!) Weingarten. You will enjoy the Instruments!
Greetings from Württemberg!
The Sordun has some different looking pipes. I would imagine that the Sordun and Regal would sound interesting together.
👍........
HA/Hi/MM what stand for?
Thanks
You can see it in the description. It is the origin of the pipes for that stop
@@Trommet16 Thank you for response
The organ is beautiful. The video is great. But my remark is the freedom they just named something cymbal or trumpet. While you need a lot of imagination because it's not really true. My Hammond organ has "trumpet" too...
On very cheap synthesisers it's the same. But expensive synths have sampled sounds. Than "trumpet" is really a trumpet. So if we go for reality.... Abandon the organ and go synthesisers... ( you can put them loud too if you miss some power...)

I am trying to decide the tuning and temperament of this organ.
Welltempered after Schnitger/Bellingwolde
Is Paul Ott related to Martin Ott, who builds organs in the US? And is this the same Brunzema who later worked for Casavant?
Yes, and yes.
Paul Ott is Martin Ott's uncle.
Gerhard Brunzema was apprenticed to Paul Ott, later was in partnership with Jurge Ahrend, and finally moved to Canada where he worked for Casavant during the 1970's before setting up his own business.
As Michael has already answered your question, I have to add that both Paul and Martin Ott have built some wonderful instruments.
@@karlrovey Actually, the instruments build by Paul Ott are considered nowadays in Germany as of a bad quality with cheap materials, so a lot of the instruments are restaurated or replaced (also like the Rückpositiv pipes of this organ)
16' Sordun xD
I would have gone for subtitles, Winfried Dahlke's English has this weird, typical german accent.
But well, that's just a minor issue compared with the elaborate work in this exquisite video. Unfortunately, you can just find the big organs of East Frisia on CZcams, the smaller, sometimes not even restored, and unknown organs are quite handsome as well. So plenty more organs to explore. As my organ teacher back in the day in the Krummhörn (East Frisia) once said to me: "You can always play big organs but you will learn how to play the organ perfectly on a small organ. If you just have a handful of stops, you need to learn how to make a piece interesting that someone in the back of the church, who might at first hand not be interested, is drawn into your playing."
Ich wußte auch noch nicht, dass man in Ostfriesland Englisch spricht!
Aber wieso wundern Sie sich eigentlich darüber, dass jemand der eine fremde Sprache spricht, einen Akzent hat? Hätten Sie keinen? Ist das hier wichtig?
@@Glockenorgel, naja, Dahlke hat ja, soweit mit bekannt ist, kein ostfriesisches Indigenat...
Was mein Englisch betrifft, so wurde mir von britischen Muttersprachlern eine große Akzentfreiheit bestätigt...
@@jankla4419, well certainly, but the question would be whether the videos are of good quality. I certainly agree that there are a videos, number is increasing, of some of the small organs - but the really interesting ones are missing. Did you have the pleasure of playing the small organ in Hamswehrum? A true gem.
You are so cute!
