- In this video I visit the workshop where my organ is being made - Renatus Ltd!
Colin Peacock gives me an 'access all areas' of the workshop and talks to me about the UHT keyboards we are having on the BIS organ, and why they are the best-in-the-business.
In this #NewOrganProject series I will bring you along the entire journey of the organ being built. At the time of writing, the organ is still in design phase and exists only in CAD (Computer Aided Design).
I hope you're as excited about this adventure as I am!

The commentary of your camera person, while divulging his/her age to be quite young, adds a level of interest and excitement uncommon in this kind of video. Bravo!
Thanks Kimball! The commentary from Hugo is quite a regular feature here on BEAUTY IN SOUND.... whether I like it or not! Having to look after a 10-week old whilst producing these videos is rather fun 😊
@@beautyinsound I'm glad you don't let being a parent get in the way of what you enjoy doing. The world is a better place when it can accommodate children
WOW WOW WOW - I'm SO excited for you and the BiS Channel now Richard. Such craftsmanship is beyond compare. Phew. Can't wait to see your Console's progression through to completion and use. The explanations and descriptions are utterly fascinating in all respects.
Richard - A great idea to follow the progress of your new organ in this video and to introduce us to the builder and his workshop. It will be good to look back on the series in 12 months time and to see just what you will have achieved. It's musical history in the making. (lovely images captured by your trusty camera operative and nice to hear Hugo's input too.) Looking forward to seeing it all take shape over the next few months.
Long time since I have called past... I will definitely follow the rest of these intrigued with organ construction. Also was unaware of Hugo's entry to the world... and thrilled. So good to hear Hugo in the background!!!!
Very interesting Richard. I could hear your young son attempting to participate in the discussion.
Richard, how fabulous that you will be able to see your organ start from individual components and raw materials. The keyboards are magnificent and truly the "Roll Royce" of manuals. I love the technology that has gone into them. How exciting is it that you can watch the console slowly assembled into the final product. Those memories for something so absolutely unique and precious to you, will last you your lifetime. (Can't help feeling a bit green!)
After seeing this I so want to replace my organ's keyboards with a pair of those UHT keyboards! And, I loved Hugo's "colour commentary" during the video, ;)
Its great to see this journey from start to finish. Thank you Richard
Thanks Richard for the introduction tour. Very interesting. Excellent craftmanship. Look foreward to more tours.
So exciting, thank you for the update. Very cute hearing Hugo's snoring!
I didn't know what these sounds were, i thought the person recording had some awake form of sleep eupnea or something 😂
Thank you Richard and Caroline ! Hugo sounds approving of our BiS console project. Smart lad.
Adorable that we can hear your baby during the keyboard explanation 😍
This is good, behind the scenes of making the organ. Also, I hear hugo.
Agreed a great video, and it's always great to hear Hugo!😁👍
This is fascinating. Those manuals are very beautiful. Coincidentally I was in Bideford over the last 10 days and just discovered Renatus as part of my Hauptwerk research. I thought about dropping in to see them but didn't get around to it.
Great start to the BIS organ building series. Very interesting on how the keyboards are constructed and the means of adjustment. Those stop mechanisms are superb. Seeing the keyboards and stops it's no wonder that it's an expensive project. Looking forward to more videos in the same vein.
Wow!! So exciting. This was a wonderful visit to Renatus!! I learned a lot from the keyboard discussion and really enjoyed that. The adjustability of the UHT keyboard is truly amazing. Thank you for bringing us along for the journey.
What an awesome short video session! I now officially have keyboard envy! LOL! These are going to be amazing for the new organ! Hugo had interesting commentary as well! ;)
So satisfying to see the application of great craftsmanship. Exciting project!
Oh l can hear Hugo making little sweet sounds in the background
He was the director for this video!
@@beautyinsound
hi hi😁👍
That Was.. Amazing to See! I love Tech and Details; and that was great!👏👍 Also it was kinda funny to realize we could hear little Hugh's breathing and sounds.😸💕
Great insight. Looking forward to learning more about the organ.
What a fantastic ideas of this organ co sole! ;)
Great to see a British Firm, capable of making such an Instrument, I love to see all the many stages, Thanks Richard, I'm looking forward to viewing the next video. John Yapp.
Very interesting, Richard! Last October I visited the workshop of uht here in Germany and ordered three keyboards with keycheeks. Since April the uht keyboards are here. Fantastic!!! The quality is amazing (for playing). And the keycheeks are made by Renatus! Greetings from Berlin!
Cool!
4:08 An instrument very un-appricieated on this channel, the mighty Theater Organ!
Fascinating video Richard. I do adore fine craftsmanship and there was plenty to be seen there. Also nice camera work Hugo or was it Caroline? Either way well done.
A mixture of Caroline and Hugo, by the sounds of it! :)
Awesome video with great footage!😁👍
Love how you zoomed in on the map where the Organ Builder's Workshop is.👍
I love Richard face and gestures when the builder explained the keybord, they're meme-worthy!
One of those deep in thought memes!😂👍
Also great to hear Hugo participating and to see a glimpse of Caroline❣
p.s Questions: is this organ console supposed to replace the one you've got?
Is it a consule to a hauptwerk Organ?
Or is this a normal Organ?
Maybe you only have Hauptwerk Organs?
Very interesting. I hope you will be able to fit in through your front door. What happens to the Viscount console? So you prefer Renatus, rather than Viscount.
The Viscount console will be sold to make way for the new one (and to help with the finances!). Thank you for your hymn book by the way - it arrived with us just last week. It's got a great selection of hymns in there! Please let us know if you'd like a request from it :)
I thought UHT was a process in milk production.
You should explain the terminology for the un-initiated.
Hi James, UHT is the name of the company: uht-keyboards.com/
Richard. Are you sampling an organ to be used in this console or hauptwerk ? What audio speakers will you used also
I'll be using existing sample sets in Hauptwerk. Not sure about speakers yet.... I'll probably use a combination of new ones and my existing ones.
So....do we get distortion pedal effects if we ask nicely ☺️?
Any distortion pedal effects will be as a result of me hitting the wrong notes!! ;)
My curiosity was aroused: On the underside of that beautiful keyboard there appear many round bobbin-like components--one for each key. The bobbins might be wound with insulated wire, perhaps to allow performance as an electromagnet to move the key. Is that device part of a system to effect inter-manual coupling as in a tracker action? Are you specifying that mechanical feature on your keyboards?
Where abouts, Dennis?
Those are screw heads for leveling the keys so that the keyboards are perfect. The red felt underneath is to dampen the noise of the key returning after being played. I have 6 UHT keyboards in stock at my shop. They are stunning and magnificent to play. I have 3 in Grenadilla naturals and boxwood accidentals and 3 with ebony naturals and maple accidentals.
In Japan, cars drive to the left, so I would like to drive on such a road leisurely. (Because I have a car license, I will have to obtain an international driver's license.)
“Hall-effect” anything is going to be a “Boulevard of broken dreams”. I guarantee you, especially in a climate like England. For what purpose does a pipe organ need velocity sensitivity for keying anyways. It’s contact on, and contact off. The EP action doesn’t care how fast or slow you strike a key.
Curious as to what influence humidity would have on hall effect sensors? They are used with great success in all sorts of dirty/wet applications. I agree that velocity sense is not much use for this application, but UHT also supplies keyboards for non-pipe organs and likely uses the same sensors on all its products. Some contemporary churches use non-traditional voices where touch sensitivity is desired (synthetic strings, piano, etc...). A contact-less sensor is much preferred over mechanical sensors (micro-switch, capacitive touch) that will certainly fail with as much use as this organ will see.
@@pianomanHev anything with an optical sensor is prone to dirt, atmospherics and just plain degradation. Not to mention expense. There are 100 year old contacts in organs working just fine. Yes, if it’s a contemporary church key velocity would be good, but this is for YorkMinster....doesn’t sound all that contemporary to me.
Hall-Effect sensors are magnetic, not optical. Most commercial systems are self-calibrating on startup to prevent cyphers from changes in environmental conditions.
A Hall-Effect system can be abandoned for years and booted right back up without issue. Without regular scraping motion or high current to clean them off, mechanical contacts will gradually become intermittent from corrosion. (In urban centers, atmospheric sulfur from vehicle exhaust can tarnish even silver contacts over time.)
Did you consider getting a hybrid organ, i.e. one real stop with pipes and tracker action and the rest being digital? That way you could enjoy the flexible articulation possible with a mechanical organ.
I didn't consider it, largely due to space and the fact that I'd want either one or the other. Have you heard a hybrid like this?
Nah, I've only heard *of* hybrids like this. Mine is a simple £3500 MIDI console with 4 fatar keyboards. Still, I feel very lucky as I'm only an amateur.
That said, I could improve my articulation if I had easy access to a mechanical instrument.
Have you tried the Melcer sample set by Piotr Grabowski? That’s as good as having a mechanical organ in your own house. I use it for practice - particularly the Trio Sonatas
@@beautyinsound I used Melcer a few years ago, it's nice, indeed, unmercifully pointing out all mistakes. It won't do for this case, though. What I meant by articulation was not legato vs. non-legato, but quick vs. slow attack and that requires a physical connection between the key and the valve, so one can control how quickly/slowly the valve opens. I wonder if that's a topic in England at all, where most of the organs have pneumatic action, so you cannot control it anyway.
Hello friends. Anyone knows wich music is that at aprox. 1:00?
Mozart's Fantasia in F minor K 608. It's a recording of me playing it at Haarlem which you may find elsewhere on the channel :)
Some builders utilise natural wood in the keyboards, needless to say you gotta pay for what you desire, do these types of keyboards Richard resemble somehow wood as well and do they cost you an arm, a leg and a liver for such a keyboard?
Perhaps, there's an other great manufacturer of keyboards, the company Laukhuff. But I think, they're not cheap.
These keyboards aren’t cheap either, but I want the keyboards to be as good as we possibly can get because it’s going to be played by many great international organists over time 😊
@@beautyinsound I think the Laukhuff keyboards are still a bit higher level than uht. They are not bad. The Laukhuff ones are more for real organs.
Are these digital classical organs?
Renatus make a mixture of both pipe and digital. They make the woodwork, and not the pipework. The organ console which I stand in front of in the thumbnail and during the video is a digital organ.

I find this blog just all a reduction of organ to just techniques , to computer. I prefer an organist manes trips to the real organs he like, and does not bother mainly computer magic tricks.
As a musician I would also very much like not to be implicated in family intimacies. I am not interested in. So I will leave this blog
