What a great video!! Kudos to everyone who kept this gorgeous instrument alive.
beautiful instrument and great demonstration
Wonderfull 🎉😅❤+1 !!
What an amazing instrument, well demonstrated by an accomplished organ master. Well done to all participating in keeping a bit of history alive. Thank you!
Enjoy hearing the music and the organ
I was an organ kid on the Solana Beach install ;)
I've been to Music Hall for many shows and never new there was an organ there. Amazing. I'll have to pay more attention to it. (It's only an hour's drive from where I live)
Nice to hear a different take on the Theater organ style from a company that wasnt Wurlizter
Love this . . . thank you!
I know what it's like to tune an instrument of this magnitude. I helped to restore and install a 3/18 Wurlitzer in a performing arts center. Oh - I get to play it, too 🙂 It's FUN!
Just totally fabulous, thank you so much, so interesting and amazing! Love all your work Brett, please keep it up and keep going!!!! Cheers. Adrian in Bermuda ❤️❤️❤️
There was a guy in Rhode Island who had a Robert-Morton 2/6 theatre organ in his home and eventually expanded to 3/11 using ranks from Wurlitzer, Kimball and various other sources.
Cool 1926 Robert Morton Organ. Fun video.
What a beautiful sounding instrument. Morton is a new name to me so really pleased that such a fine piece of work served as my introduction! Definitely a cast of "pipes and chests crammed everywhere"... having said that, a luxuriously spacious installation compared to that at the BBC Radio Theatre in London where Compton installed a 4/33 organ in chambers measuring 40ft wide, 30ft high but only 6ft deep! Perplexed by all the unfilled holes in various chests plus many pipes lying unused... is this because of failures in the chests? Whatever, a brilliant video and again made incredibly interesting by Brent's narration. Thank you for posting.
Just went through Kansas City a few hours ago
Have you been out to Santa Barbara, CA to see the 1920-something Wonder Morton in the Santa Barbara Performing Arts Centre (AKA the Arlington Theatre) yet? It was originally in the Loews' Jersey City Theatre. I think it started out as a IV/22 and has had several ranks added over the years.
Wow!!
Wonderful organ! How did the get all that equipment in those chambers? Someone had to have a good eye for how it would all go back together!
