Sir I am so glad that someone is carrying on the organ I am Edwin sawtelle great grandson my father was Allen sawtelle his grandson my name is prentice sawtelle
The best way to enjoy the "video" is to not watch it! The photographer would make anyone dizzy with all of the movement. That person should invest in a stabilizing stick to capture performances. This was a serious detraction, however, it was good that he/she captured this performance of a wonderful musician. Pulling registration, and interpreting from the memory (who has time to read and do all the other things necessary to play a multi keyboard pipe organ?)are in the skilled hands of Dave Wickerham. So, thank you Dave -- and by extension to the photographer. The music stands on its own anyway.
Nope, it came from the Boyd Theatre in Philadelphia, and has been massively enlarged with a finely-judged assortment of ranks. It's not an original Kimball by any means... what it is, is a fantastic modern orchestral organ, with all the theatrical stuff and a range of more classical stops, from a metal 32ft/16ft Bombarde, unenclosed 16ft wood and metal diapasons in the Pedal, a 3-rank mixture in the Main chamber, a straight diapason chorus from 4' through to 1' and a 4-rank mixture in the Solo. www.dtoskimball.org/about/organ-tour/chamber-analysis/
Peterborough Regional College here in Cambridgeshire, does apparently. A nice looking 2 manual Wuritzer. They have concerts ( before covid anyway ) but I've never been lucky enough to get to one
Love the full body sound of the theatre organ. Music was awesome. Get a new cinematographer. My 6 year old grandson could have done a better job shooting that video. Absolutely HORRIBLE. And fire the person who hired that poorest excuse of a camera person EVER!!
Not just another Disney medley, and that Kimball 3/66 TPO is amazingly well balanced. Lucky kids!
❤organtastic
Great playing!! Amazing Organ! Fantastic!!
Dave's interpretations are pure genius. All at the River City Theatre Organ Society really appreciate his talent.
While the music is nice on CZcams, it's even better at a concert. You can feel the music in person .
MaryAnn: some of us are indeed privileged, I often am.....!
Dave will be at The Blackwood Estate in Harrisville Pa. twice this year on The Mighty Blackwood Wurlitzer.
All this wonderful music without any sheet music.. Holy Mackerel !
Super excellent music
Man wish my school had one of these when I was a youth! Very cool!
We had one at my high school. The blitz room had one.

Agreed re the photography; a total distraction
Compare this with the video of Richard Hills. Same photographer, better cameras.
Stunning playing Dave .........but I need to go stick my head down a toilet........ oh , too late. Carrots! Hold the damn camera still !
what disney songs does he plays
Not many high schools have a theatre pipe organ. Is this an original installation?

Oh stop blabbering on ! It is what it is.
They clearly did it for free. Would you rather not have ever seen the performance?
the photography wasn't the best but the music was beautiful
