If you had...

[Ghekorg7 (Ret)]

Then again, I'm thinkin' I would like to have the Halbich organ in Olomuc, Moravia...
I would be glad with this only....

or... we could get , together with br CD (lots of money needed, so..it's best to split expences) the one in Caen, but we 'll had to agree which day or hours(...!) each one of us was about to play it.
I believe one day brCD the next myself and so on would be nice.....
Just thinkin'...

A great tonal analysis if I may add........

Do you dare me to type up the stoplist? I haven't even counted the number of stops yet.

Also, re. your comment on the Schnitger/Wurlitzer/Skinner/Silbermann/etc.
Hand me a barf bag, too. Why would one want all this in one organ?!

I'm thinking of a second organ, a fun organ, for this same apt. Where, typically, reeds are greatly out-numbered by flue stops; in this organ, it's the other way around. Basically, a collection of short-length reeds and a handful of color flues to enhance the reeds.

Hello smilingvox,

Tonal analyses are very descriptive as to what an organ has for resources. Plus it saves alot of time for typing up long lists.

Cheers,

@Ghekorg - Well, I have my version of St. Sulpice in my livingroom so I won't necessarily be looking to "upgrade it" anytime soon but I can always muse about another instrument.

Ok Corno Dolce, I leave you in your happiness with your livingroom version... meanwile I go searchin' for something extra special , if there's such a thing out there, to muse you !

Br. Panos,

Ok, I relent - The string division of the Wanamaker Wonder Machine would be a nice addition...

Yeeees !
Now you're talkin' br Cd. This is a great idea : Wanamaker's string division added to Cavaille-Coll.

How much could we have to pay for an update like this?

And...please, can you add two stops from Halbich I like very much?
Viola da Gamba 8' with Quintadena 8' ?

For all around use, I think Krummhorn's Wurlitzer takes the cake. You can play anything and make it sound good on that organ. Realistically, a smaller version of the same type of design would really satisfy me.

Br. Panos,

Having not heard the Halbich organ it is difficult for me to imagine what sound the Viola da Gamba 8' and Quintadena 8 combo is like. As you most likely know the voicing process of an organ imparts special characteristics to each and every instrument - Remember also that the acoustic space will "modify" the timbre of every stop in very subtle ways. So, the combo you mention will by necessity be of a very different timbre than that of any other builder. Yes, I have used such a combo on my "livingroom machine" and at my former place of employment as organist.

How much would such a division cost? It depends...

Respectfully yours,

CD :tiphat::tiphat::tiphat::tiphat::angel::angel::angel::angel:


@AllanP - Yes, Krummhorn's Wurlitzer does very nicely - Just like the 5-manual Wonder Machine at the residence of Jasper SanFillippo.

You got a point there; however....

The Wanamaker Organ's list would not be a time saver. A vast majority of the stops in this organ are straight. 450+ ranks.

 

[smilingvox]

For all around use, I think Krummhorn's Wurlitzer takes the cake. ......

When you said Krummhorn's Wurlitzer, I briefly envisioned a Wurlitzer Krummhorn (of which there are none, to my knowledge), which, in turn, reminded me of the big fat 16' Krummhorn (15") in the Great-Solo at Boardwalk Hall, AC, NJ

Hi smilingvox,

You're absolutely right about the Wanamaker, but then again, it ain't no "ordinary" organ.

Best of the best,

CD :tiphat::tiphat::tiphat::tiphat:

 

[smilingvox]

It 'ain't', huh?:grin: lol (my Mum always gave me a hard time about using 'ain't')

I'd like to start this thread back up with a stop list of that "fun organ", I mentioned earlier. Two-manual, duplexed. Flues, primarily, for enhancing the reeds.

Tonal resources:

Quintadena 8', 4'
Rohrflote 8'
Violprinzipal 4'
Hohlflote 4' (after Stellwagen, Jacobis Kirche, Lubeck)
Nasard 2 2/3', 1 1/3'
Kleinprinzipal 2'
Gemsterz 1 3/5', 4/5'
Gemsseptime 1 1/7', 4/7'

Grossdulzian 16', 8' (1/4 length, large-scaled)
Holzrankett 16', 8'
Doppelkegelregal 16', 8' (wood, perhaps? why not?)
Musette 16', 8', 4' (wood)
Fagott 8' (as at St. Lauren's Kerk, Alkmaar)
Trompetenregal 8', 4'
Apfelregal 8', 4' (brass)
Krummhorn 8', 4' (after Stellwagen, Jacobis Kirche, Lubeck)
Rohrschalmei 8'
Vox Humana 8'
Viol da Gamba 8' (as at St. Lauren's Kerk, Alkmaar)
Singendregal 4', 2'

...and a small-scaled 16' Untersatz and 32' Tromboncini would be available only on the Pedal.

...just kidding.:grin: I mean, a 32' Barpfeife. The Holzrankett, Krummhorn and Singendregal would be playable on the Pedal as well.

Usually, I write stuff on paper before typing it, so I'm really winging this.

Actually, for a locust's mating call, the lowest couple of notes of a 32' Tromboncini might work.

 

[Corno Dolce]

And here I thought a brass apfelregal 1' would be the best mimicry of the locust's mating call??? :grin::grin::grin::lol::lol::lol:

 

[smilingvox]

Okay... How about a wooden Apfelregal, with the hollow spheres constructed like tiny barrels?

Here's some corrections, since I couldn't edit my last post:

Instead of two manuals, I thought three would allow for more flexibility, considering the large number of regals. The Untersatz would be extended to 8', 4', and 2'. Add a couple of Rossignals, and a couple more octaves to each mutation.

Santyani(?) Cathedral (Majorca) has that large organ, built by a German, who had moved to Iberia. It has a 2/3' stop, which sounds cute with an 8' flute. Kind of the whistling booger effect (sorry lol).
