This is Johannus Live3P with the sample set Paris, Notre Dame d'Auteuil (Cavaillé-Coll)

Definitely: There are shoe players and there are sock players, I am the latter ;-)

Könnte man denken 🤣🤣🤣 Danke für den netten Kommentar!

@@MisterNoTrains Wow, thanks so much for the creative feedback. I enjoy playing this a lot but wasn't sure how it was going to land being so long....

Schönen Guten Abend, besten Dank für die netten Worte. Ich bin nicht so aktiv sodass RUclips mich nicht so pusht ;-) Freue mich dass Sie den Kanal gefunden haben und wünsche viel Freude. Über Feedback freue ich mich immer. Danke für die Tips mit Sauer und Schnitger, vielleicht erweitere ich mal, ich finde Utrecht schön wegen der guten Akkustik und Paris wegen des satten 32'.

Thanks, Donald - was quite a bit of fiddling around ;-)

@@carstenkling2566 Vielen Dank! Und Grus aus Madrid nach Nürnberg. Heute Abend höre ich mir die Neobarroken Kompositionen an, bin sehr gespannt 😉

🤣That;s why I need glasses. Actually it helps memorizing ......

Thanks a lot. This was a test and I turned away before the fantastic reverb was over, thus it is cut off a bit....

Hey, thanks so much. Yes, I know, I am quite inactive, had to practice this which is quite tricky to play.... Hope to hear recordings from your 2P once it arrived and you got accustomed to it. Sure you will enjoy it !!!!

Thanks very much, very glad to hear!

Vielen Dank - ich dachte die Militaerpolnaeise koennten Ihnen gefallen ;-)

@@januweness Absolut! Ich liebe Militärmärsche aller Art, außerdem verleiht ihnen die Orgel eine gewisse Feierlichkeit.

@@helmutvonkoenigsdorf Das ist eine interessante Beobachtung - stimmt! Wenn Sie noch Tipps fuer Militaermaersche haben die gut auf der Orgel klingen koennten waere ich interessiert.

@@januweness Es wäre mir eine Ehre! Ich gehe meine „Playlists“ durch und schaue, ob ich einige interessante finde!

@@januwenessGrüß Gott Herr Dr. Ness! Habe endlich ein Paar Märsche gesammelt. Sedan-Marsch Alte Kameraden (Natürlich) Florentiner-Marsch Kaiser-Wilhelm-Siegesmarsch Waidmannsheil-Marsch Radetzky-Marsch Прощание Славянки- „Abschied von Slawianka“ Тоска по Родине- „Heimat-Marsch“

Schoenen Guten Abend - vielen Dank fuer Ihr Interesse. Ich habe sehr viel Erfahrung in der Gottesdienstbegleitung. In den 1990ern habe ich mir mein Physikstudium in Kiel durch Orgelspielen verdient, hatte praktisch in allen Kirchen irgendwann mal gespielt, inklusive der Hauptkirche St. Nikolai wo man mir auch ueberregionale Gottesdienste anvertraute. In Oxford habe ich bei den Baptisten jeden Sonntag gespielt, und in Phoenix, Arizona, bei den Anglokatholiken. Bin also recht gut herumgekommen ;-) Schoene Gruesse aus Madrid.

@@januweness Eine sehr inspirierende Geschichte - danke für's Teilen! Ich selbst erlerne das Orgelspiel zurzeit im Selbststudium (mit einem Klavierhintergrund) und denke darüber nach, unsere "Umkreis-Organistin" zu fragen, ob ich ein Stück zu einem der kommenden Gottesdienste übernehmen könnte. Ich wollte Sie fragen, ob Sie mir eher das Spielen eines Chorals oder doch eines Prae-/ Postludiums als "Debut" empfehlen würden? VG

@@nikitademodov3446 Hallo, ich hatte auch urspruenglich einen Klavierhintergrund , mit 10 Jahren hatte ich Klavier angefangen und mit 22 Jahren zur Orgel gewechselt, ich kenne Ihre Situation daher sehr gut! Als ich das erste mal im Gottesdienst spielte war ich wahnsinnig nervoes weil ich noch nie vor vielen Leuten gespiellt hatte. Wenn das bei Ihnen auch so ist wuerde ich raten etwas zu spielen das Sie wirklich im Traum koennen. Je nachdem wie sicher Sie bereits mit dem Pedal sind wuerde ich auch sagen in der Oeffentichkeit erstmal lieber ohne. Das Pedalspiel ist eine Frage der Zeit und Uebung, das kriegen Sie bald hin, wenn man sich daran gewoehnt hat ist es nicht so schwierig. Wichtig ist dass das erste Mal wirklich ein Erfolg ist, und lieber etwas Leichtes spielen als mit etwas zu Schwerem zu scheitern. Ein Choral sollte so eine sichere Option sein, man ist dabei auch etwas weniger nervoes weil die Leute ja singen und weniger auf die Orgel achten waehrend man bei einem Praeludium komplett auf dem Praesentierteller sitzt. Beim Choral ist es wichtiger darauf zu achten dass der Fluss (Rythmus) stimmt als jeder einzelne Ton. Wenn Sie raus kommen, lieber einstimmig die Melodie weiterspielen bis Sie wieder Tritt fassen. Das wird absolut verziehen - und kann auch Absicht sein! Das Wichtigste fuer die Leute ist dass sie gut mitsingen koennen. Fuer die Umkreis Organisten koennte es sehr interessant sein einen potentiellen Vertreter zu finden, und fuer den Gottesdienst ist die Choralbegleitung das Wichtigste. Ich begleite die Choraele immer recht zuegig was den meisten Leuten besser gefaellt als zu langsam. Jedem kann man es nie Recht machen, das beste Tempo ist wenn man selber gut mitsummen kann. Ich hoffe diese Tips helfen schon mal.

​@@januweness Danke für die Ratschläge! Ich habe gestern mit dem Vertrauensmann und heute nach dem Gottesdienst mit der Organistin gesprochen und darf jetzt am Pfingstsonntag (Gottesdienst sind bei uns nur alle 14 Tage) zwei Choräle übernehmen, die ich im Laufe der Woche erfahren werde! :) Als Mitglied der evangelischen Kirche in einer Kleinstadt im hoch-katholischen Bayern sind die Besucherzahlen beim Gottesdienst "glücklicherweise" bei uns recht klein, daher bin ich nicht allzu nervös. Aber es ist trotzdem sehr aufregend! VG

Fully agree, here nice example: ruclips.net/video/7-c5a8d8W1g/видео.html Although Schnittger Organs are also very beautiful..... ;-)

Hello, thanks very much for the feedback. I have in fact not spent much time comparing options, I found a Johannus retailer store very nearby my house and just followed the recommendation of the guy. Also, I didn't have the (time) resources to build my own Hauptwerk system - and I admire all those having gone through all the work and effort. Actually, I also had a smaller Viscount before (still have it in fact). The sound in the room is absolutely fantastic, even better than the recordings via the AUX socket. Also with a low number of stops, the organ fills my living perfectly well. It is possible to increase/decrease the volume, so I see no issues with the power of the sound. Especially the sub-woofers deal extremely well with the 32' stops making the walls shake - like in a real room!. So, I really can't complain about the power of the loudspeaker system! Also the 3D impression is totally satisfactory, and my feeling is the number of loudspeakers does not matter, so much. I think they use sophisticated interference technologies to create a real (Life) sound with a small number of top-quality speakers. When sitting at the console, I can hear really well where the pipes producing the sounds are sitting! There are four listening positions I can choose from (1) Console, (2) Front (3) Center (4) Rear, each a different balance between direct sound and reverb. In the examples I have used the Rear which has the strongest reverb. So, the sound of the instrument is perfect and I am still happy. Things to be less happy about is the rather limited number of instruments, and I sometimes envy the folks on Hauptwerk for the great variety of instruments they have. There is a web page where more instruments can be purchased, but the number of choices is much much smaller than Hauptwerk. I wish they would cut some deal and make Hauptwerk instruments available for Johannus instruments. There are some minor drawbacks that could be better: I have six orchestrals, and I don't recommend the chimes. While highly realistic (like the Dutch Carillons), they are grossly out of tune and I didn't find the time to figure how to tune them better (would need to connect the organ via MIDI to a computer with a Windows operating system). There is no cover to protect the keyboard (like my Viscount has), so 2-3 times per year I have to clean the keys that start turning grey-black, especially those not used a lot. The pedal is connected to the organ via a magnet contact, thus not a wire. If the pedal is a little bit displaced, then it doesn't play, it happened several times that just by sliding onto the bench the pedal got displaced and I had to redo the recording. 3 years and a few days after I purchased the organ, a key was stuck, formally out of warranty, they were courteous enough to pay for the repair (the person had to come again a month later, but since then it is fine). Never had such an incident in the 20years I had the Viscount. Then, tiny nice to haves would be the ability to switch off the lights, practical would be a little drawer for pencils, the control display at the side rather than the main board (the light shines through the papers with the music). This is tiny of course, but given the rather high price one expects perfection to the last detail ;-) But overall: I am very happy with this instrument indeed, and the drawback listed here you could take to ask questions before buying your instrument which are hopefully helpful.

Thank you very much for your detailed answer! I was somewhat worried about this data about the power of the LiVE P models, but I'm glad to hear your positive experiences. In the current offer of organs on the market, the new Johannus organs (especially the LiVE models) sound best in my opinion... For me, the Hauptwerk is out of the question, because it seems to me that it requires a lot of computer knowledge, which I don't have: I'm looking for an organ that, when you turn it on, it sounds good right away. I was considering the new Viscount (Opera 200), but I'm afraid I'd have to spend a lot of time using their Physis+ Editor before I could tune the organ to my liking. Too complicated for me. Therefore, it seems to me, Johannus is a much better choice at the moment. The problem, however, is that most of their organs look "too modern", and actually resemble IKEA Billy shelves ... except LiVE P. Although the sound is, of course, the most important thing, I still feel (maybe that's old-fashioned) that an organ should also look good in a room. And your Johannus LiVE 3P really looks nice! As for organs in Positive consoles, such as yours, that do not have roll-top covers installed, one would expect at least some kind of manual protection: for example, they could come with a suitable cloth (some kind of red silk or velvet cloth comes to mind), which would cover the manuals when not in use... By the way, I don't understand why nowadays even small (low) organs are mostly made without a roll top cover. It used to be the standard, but today they mostly look like IKEA shelves with manuals sticking out! :) As I hear, from this year onwards Johannus LiVE models come with 5 (instead of 2 as previously) samples at the customer's request without additional charge. Utrecht, Amsterdam, Kampen, Dresden and Manchester would be more than enough for my needs! Sorry to hear about the issue with the chimes... I think I heard Dr. Kristina Rizzotto, playing her LiVE 3T, used chimes with the Dresden sample in one of her videos, and it sounded pretty good... Ah, everything can never turn out right for everyone: one key on my old Viscount failed after ten years (it just stopped making any sound). I was lucky to have Viscount's service in the neighborhood (Johannus' is not even in the same city). Anyway, thanks again for your helpful thoughts and experiences. I wish you many more happy moments with your organ! 👍 And be sure to keep posting videos of your performances. You have a new subscriber! I admire your technique, especially pedaling - I don't think my feet will pedal like that in 200 years! 😁

@@MisterNoTrains Regarding Hauptwerk: Same here although it may be possible to get it done with 'normal' computer knowledge and reading instructions in the internet, but it will take an awful long time, and I confirm, and from what I heard from a few reports from those having gone through it, that it needs enormous processor resources to work properly. My instrument is for sure a plug and play, no learning curve, it immediately sounds great, and the configuration is straight forward. When talking to the dealer, there is certainly room for bargaining, not the price but extras for free. So, I got 3 instead of 2 organs, there are in fact slots for give instruments, and one can upload any number of instrument with a USB stick. For me, the three organs I have are also absolutely sufficient, I recently had another look at the catalogue and found that the other ones wouldn't really add much. I would like to have the one from Duesserdorf that Fraser Gartshore as presented a few times where there are two organs playable from one console. Recording a new organ is a huge effort, and I wonder why Johannus doesn't negotiate with Hauptwerk to purchase some of their samples to offer them in their catalogue, be it their are more expensive, but then one has a choice. Maybe they will do it some time.... I will try to get a recording of the Carillon with Dresden so you can form your own opinion. Maybe it sounds better than I remember from last time (which was a long time ago); it may depend on what you play, for Christmas Carols with belly stuff, I found them to sound awful, at least compared to the chimes I have in the Viscount which is artificial while the one in the Johannus is authentic and certainly has a charme. My luck was that a Johannus retailer is not only in the same city but in the same part of town, I could actually go by bicycle! I live in Spain, and that is the only store in all of Spain! But that was only part of my decision, main reason is that Johannus is the pioneer of this technology, they already impressed me in the 1990! At that time I didn't have the money to afford such an instrument..... Thanks for pointing to Kristina Rizzotto, I didn't know this channel and will listen in. Can you send a direct link to the specific recording with the chimes? I totally agree with the "Ikea" appearance, and for me the appearance also matters a lot. The one I have is perfect and it truly decorates the room. It is worth the investment to pay attention to this detail.

@@MisterNoTrains Hello, here now a demo of the chimes with Dresden: ruclips.net/user/shorts9PT4ln-VJDw This is an unlisted link.

Well, now that I've heard the chimes, they really seem to be kind of out of tune... I had this video in mind: ruclips.net/video/3ZbqoPMst4I/видео.html But now that I've heard how the chimes sound, it's obvious that it's not the same supersolo at all. I could be wrong, but maybe she used some other orchestral sound, it sounded noticeably more subtle than these loud bells... In any case, although - as I see on various forums - many purist organists do not like these supersolo sounds at all, but I especially like Johannus's panflute and trumpet very much. And these bells could perhaps only be used in a short introduction to a Christmas carol, not for the whole main melody. But that seems like a minor problem to me though. The LiVE samples sound really great, and your idea of Johannus collaborating with Hauptwerk seems very interesting. This year, the Studio and Opus lines of organs have been revamped, and as I hear from Johannus, at the end of this year they will renew the Vivaldi, and next year the LiVE series will also be revamped. Therefore, you could propose your mentioned idea to them. :) As for me, in my country (I live in Croatia) there are only Viscount and Johannus dealers. Although I also like some other organs (eg Content Mondri 236 and Johannes de Heer Rondeau), getting an organ without a dealer in the country would be a pain, and any subsequent services would be a nightmare. So it seems best to get Johannus. While I would love to see them renew the Vivaldi and LiVE series, I think waiting another year is too long. Who knows what will be here in a year? Maybe ballistic missiles will fly over our heads! ;) Thanks for today's Pizzicati, sounds great!

Danke - ich dachte es wird wirklich Zeit dass ich mich mal zeige. Habe auch an Sie gedacht ;-) Vielen Dank fuer Ihre Treue!

Thanks a lot Mark! I wish I know but I have no clue who it was. I tried to find out, but nobody from back then is around anymore who would remember, so I have to leave this unanswered, I'm afraid.....

Vielen Dank - kaum zu glauben dass das 20 Jahre her ist! Habe Sorry dass ich nicht aktiver bin - ich habe die Ahnenforschung entdeckt in die meine Energie im Moment fliesst.

Thanks a lot - the instrument was a major investment but definitely worth it!

@@januweness Definitely! I look forward to your future videos.

Thanks a lot - yes this Clarinet is my favorite on this instrument.

That's a very good question. This one is actually not so difficult, I have started working on it a couple of months ago but only once per week at best. For the recording this was actually the first shot, but usually I take at least 4-5 recordings until I am content ;-) Glad you like it, thanks a lot for the feedback!

@@januweness Thank you, I can imagine that the piece is not difficult for a master like you. I wouldn't have expected that from you, considering that you prefer classical/church music on your channel.

@@alphacen3465 Ha, indeed, this was an experiment, a friend of mine gave me as a present a book with all sorts of more modern pieces, so more may be coming ;-) Hard for me to get the right 'swing' though, but always trying to be open.

Vielen Dank!

Thanks a lot - you also played it recently and that inspired me ;-)

Thanks so much, Mark. Glad you like it so much. Indeed, the Clarinet is a great creation by Johannus.

Vielen Dank!

Thanks, great encouragement🙂

@@januweness Ha! Kennen Sie „Muistoja Pohjolasta“? Oder ist es möglich zu spielen? Ich denke, es könnte Ihnen gefallen.

@@helmutvonkoenigsdorf Kannte ich noch nicht, habe aber Aufnahmen gefunden, und das sollte machbar sein, und waere voll mein Geschmack. Ich muss nur irgendwie die Noten finden. Bis ich es finde waere dieser Marsch vielleicht etwas fuer Sie: ruclips.net/video/JlsQATJ1PK8/видео.html

@@januweness Fantastisch. Es ist einer meiner Lieblingsmärsche, und ich freue mich, daß Sie ihn auch mögen! Auch deine andere Aufnahme war wunderbar.

@@helmutvonkoenigsdorf Habe leider noch nicht die Noten gefunden, zumindest nicht ohne Weiteres frei zugaenglich. Ich bleibe am Ball....

Ha, I will ask my neighbour whether he wants to sell his house 😂 The sound is not synthesized but sampled from a real organ, in this case Cavaillé-Coll organ in Notre Dame d'Auteuil (Paris). It is an amazing sound, and Johannus has delivered fantastic loudspeakers (still want to be a neighbour? 😜). I have the instrument in my living room so I can also give performances to life audience....

@@januweness The console and casing appears antique, but yes, I know of this ability to sound like any great organ. The Wanamaker Organ was what I grew up around as a boy. It has its own sound. The other gentleman on RUclips who I would very much enjoy being neighbor to to is Mike Reed who is a Master on the Hammond. Do t criticize until you hear him. It’s the peddle work and masterful Stop variants he calls upon as he plays. It may not be your taste, but he recalls my happy youth. I do hope you have full videos of your work.

@@Wanamaker1946 The Wanamaker is of course great, I have not had the privilege to hear it yet, hope my ways will take me to Chicago some time so I can go and hear it. I am very open to other instruments such as Hammond, with the right player it will be authentic. I will go search for him. I am also not much into harmonium, yet this one I really like: ruclips.net/video/5fMbUgXvTGs/видео.html I have full videos in my channel under: www.youtube.com/@januweness
