We were walking through a main square in Florence, Italy. A small orchestra was playing a lovely classical melody. Jokingly I said to my partner, "Not bad, but it ain't 'Tico Tico'". I swear, the next tune they played was - you guessed it!
Flat out, drop dead AMAZING! And not just for flashy chops - but for registration, nuances, and all the subtle little things that separate a "player" from a Master. Bravo!!!
Absolutely incredible performance from David he really gave that Organ a thorough work out no more cob webs in her now... left now Phew...I'm exhausted just watching him...
Takes me back to the (now defunct) Organ Grinder in Southeast Portland, Oregon. Pizza, salad, a game room, a Wurlitzer Organ about the shape and size of the one in the video...and at the conclusion of every half-hour set, a silent comedy from a pre-set 16mm Bell & Howell projector on a big screen. What awesome memories...
BRAVO Maestro! Check out the other videos of Tico Tico on the WERSI, which are good in their own right, with the aid of MIDI and auto-everything, Then look at this video again knowing the sounds are produced only by air and the organist's hands and feet. No MIDI, no sequencer... just him and a thousand or more pipes. GLORIOUS!!!
I am very familiar with the Wurlitser at the Tower Ballroom in Blackpool. They have a very specific style and sound because they have strict tempo requirements. I like this one because it is free and unrestricted.
There is nothing quite like the sound of a "mighty Wurlitzer." Even their electronic versions were pretty good - but Wurlitzer pipe organs just are DARNED hard to beat.
These are volume/loudness controls ("swell" pedals). Like the accelerator on a car, the pedal gives more "gas" to certain sets of pipes when rocked forward, by adjusting how far open the louvers are on a shutter mechanism behind which the pipes live.
The solenoids engaged by the keys act fast to open a path between the compressed air chamber and the pipe to be sounded, but the air getting into the pipe and beginning to vibrate is not as fast, and then there is the time delay from the pipes to the microphone.
Showing off his sheer speed with this one, which unfortunately with the acoustics there the sound structure blurs the notes together resulting in a kind of fast mush. 25% slower may have made a dramatic increase in sound quality, but would have still been faster than many others can play this.
For the uninitiated... no electronics here, no speakers, no power amplifiers. All the percussions are the real thing, played from the console. All that magnificent sound is produced by wind blown pipes. The wind is supplied by a huge blower in the basement. And to top it all off, probably the finest theatre organist in the world is wailing on it!
Well... electrical solenoids for the percussion -- and to control the valves for the individual pipes. Direct mechanical linkages, like from the keys to the hammers in a piano, would be impractical. There are wires, lotsa wires. The stops also couldn't be tabs unless it was fly by wire, and relays.
@@SeekingTheLoveThatGodMeans7648 For the uninitiated the percussions are played by wind driven pneumatics as are the stop tabs and pipes themselves.. But of course an electrical replay system is there to control everything. Before the discovery of electricity organ consoles had to be attached to the organ because the keys were indeed mechanically connected to the pipes with wooden rods and levers called trackers. Remember, pipe organs have been around for over a thousand years. Organs builders are always looking to technology to improve function and reliability. What I meant, of course, is that there are no electronically produced sounds. All sounds are produced by real instruments and pipes.
You do realize this is a song about a cuckoo in a clock....`tico tico ticks, tico tico tocks,` tico tico is the cuckoo in my clock. When he says Cuckoo it's time to woo. ........But not at that flipping speed.

Blown Primary, you are entitled to your own opinion, but what you don't realize is that Tico Tico was Dave's Encore for that live performance. He had just played an entire concert, and was given a standing ovation. The tempo was perfect for the circumstances... I know... I was there... And BTW, during intermission, my wife's Grandmother asked him to play it... So this was actually Dave's way of fulfilling a request by a concert patron.
Amazing. No matter how flawlessly one does something on CZcams, there's always some no class, low class asshole like "Blown Primary" (what the hell kind of user name is that anyway?) who goes out of their way, and ours, to find something to bitch about. What's wrong, BP, your local quickie mart out of Keystone Light again?
How horrible! I am happy that these terrible instruments and their players are finished playing. It is a disgrace and nothing more. I love Tico Tico and played by a modern interpretation not in this mouse killing outdated way. Awful! It sounds like a steam-organ on a fair.
Steam organ? Fair organ? They sound great too. If these instruments and their players are finished playing, how come there are hundreds still playing and new people coming into it all the time?

you can see clearly that he loves playing music,the fun radiates from him

Can’t get enough. Listen to this over and over. Congratulations on your gift! What talent!
It doesnt get any better..What a master...
Flat out, drop dead AMAZING! And not just for flashy chops - but for registration, nuances, and all the subtle little things that separate a "player" from a Master. Bravo!!!
Carlton Olson aa
Masterful performance.
There's only one word for this performance... W O W !!!!!!!!!!!
It gets no better than Dave Wickerham.
Absolutely amazing performance... I only wish my high school auditorium had a theatre organ in it...🎶❤️🎶
Fantastic!!!!
Just saw him today in Seattle. A masterful and wonderful concert from him!!
I don't miss Dave when he is in the area. Fantastic.
Yet another superb Dave Wickerham performance!
Absolutely incredible performance from David he really gave that Organ a thorough work out no more cob webs in her now... left now Phew...I'm exhausted just watching him...
OUTSTANDING! What joy to hear the mightiest of the instruments~!!! And what talent to make it roar so wildly~!!!
Someone who hears the Bach in Tico Tico. Love to Mr. Wickerham. Thank you.
Totally mesmerising, what a performance.
feel like riding a high speed carousel in an amusement park😊
This guy is fantastic!
Virginia Thomas (RIP) used to play this at NY Rangers games during each period’s skate around. This was back in the early 1960’s.
AMAZING! Had me laughing out loud and cheering all the way through! Bravo!

Right on!
Om het nog eens te horen is voor mij al een genot en de trots van mijn vader het waren zijn vaste nummers
bij het optreden gr Lies
Just Wow!!!
Ma grande🤩🤩🤩🤩👏👏👏👏👏👏
Wonderful
I am very familiar with the Wurlitser at the Tower Ballroom in Blackpool.

Such talent
WOW.....
Beautyfull songs
¡ Guau !..¡ Brutal !..❤
Dave will once again be at Blackwood in Harrisville, Pa. on Sunday the 29, 2017. Audrey and I will be there.
Great..........................................................Bill Bickley UK
Brill!
Dave usually accompanies our silent movies at Blackwood Arts in Harrisville, Pennsylvania.
I wonder how many extra measures were incorporated in order to do all that hand registration lol. He absolutely tore that up!
Just imagine the brain activity going on here!
He’s on auto-pilot ... it’s easy for him 🤯
Que maravilha o homem é um espetaculo, magnifico toca divinamente bem sou de Manaus Amazonas Brasil
I have played one of these
Just wonderful. that's all.
I worked on this organ with Mr. Harry Ebert. I wonder who is taking car of it now?
wow
Bien Felicitaciones más música popular
Audrey, Ann, and I will be in Foxburg this Sunday.
who are Audrey, Ann and I? and why would total strangers care if you're going to be in Foxburg (where ever that is) this Sunday?
Marvellous. IMO this blows anything done on a Wersi or similar out of the water!
Elijah Bell oh yea consider there is also a slight delay. I'd be stumbling all over myself!
There is nothing quite like the sound of a "mighty Wurlitzer." Even their electronic versions were pretty good - but Wurlitzer pipe organs just are DARNED hard to beat.
Tico Tico is in a music book
Ethel Smith would be proud!
What are the right pedels used for? I am new to this genre of 🎶 mudic.
These are volume/loudness controls ("swell" pedals). Like the accelerator on a car, the pedal gives more "gas" to certain sets of pipes when rocked forward, by adjusting how far open the louvers are on a shutter mechanism behind which the pipes live.
There is a slight delay between the keys and the sound from the pipes
The solenoids engaged by the keys act fast to open a path between the compressed air chamber and the pipe to be sounded, but the air getting into the pipe and beginning to vibrate is not as fast, and then there is the time delay from the pipes to the microphone.
If only the shutter could respond as quickly at the expression pedals.
I Wonder If The Addams Family Tango (From The Addams Family Vacation Movie) Was Inspired By This
Ethel Smith would crap herself if she saw this!!!!! This guy is AMAZING!!!!!!!!
Can’t help but wonder how the great Ethel Smith would’ve sounded on an organ like this. Then again, she was a staunch Hammond organist.
Showing off his sheer speed with this one, which unfortunately with the acoustics there the sound structure blurs the notes together resulting in a kind of fast mush. 25% slower may have made a dramatic increase in sound quality, but would have still been faster than many others can play this.
I think thats is'nt music. It's chaos

the original was a madcap song about a sparrow that was stealing cornmeal
Reginald Dixon was the king of the Wurlizer
Should pick up the pace a little LOL
Ethel the greatest but this is good.
And Ethel played in high heels!!!!

Good. God. Can he play it any faster? It's unmusical at that tempo. You're not Ethel, toots! There are WORDS to this song!
Who made you the authority on whats musical? Because it sounded pretty musical to me.
Blown Primary it was extremely musical. I liked it.
Blown Primary ... Theatre organ demands a certain amount of hyperbole and bravado. It's part of the style.
Blown Primary, you are entitled to your own opinion, but what you don't realize is that Tico Tico was Dave's Encore for that live performance.

Estragou a música!

You cant even troll let alone comment on this moron.
Please tell me where I might find "a steam-organ on a fair" that sounds like this. I would travel ANYWHERE in the world to hear it!
Two words for you Gordon.. or whatever your real idiotic name is.. "whatever ASSHOLE"
This is truly amazing and a real feat of endurace. Otherwise lost for words.
Steam organ? Fair organ? They sound great too. If these instruments and their players are finished playing, how come there are hundreds still playing and new people coming into it all the time?
