@@kishascape I doubt it. My experience of such instruments is that they can produce plenty of volume, if they have to, but because they are so small and have only small pipes, they do it by having a preponderance of tiny pipes. The result is volume with no weight of tone. The ear tires of this, quite quickly. So it's not the choice of piece, it is the instrument itself to which I object.
@@Offshoreorganbuilder it would sound much better if it started with the C below the A -- the actual 4' C. As it is, there is no hope of finding much in the lower range which can be reasonably satisfactory in the 4' range. To me, it's unfortunately a beautifully-built but marginally usable set of pipes, windchest, and keys.
To @@aBachwardsfellow: I agree. Better still, if the 8' octave was there. But then, even by extending the compass down to 4' C, you would have an instrument which was much bigger, physically, and certainly much more expensive. As in all these cases, it's a commercial decision.
@@Offshoreorganbuilder I was thinkng of retaining the 4-octave range only starting with the C rather than extending it to add the lower pipes. But even if retaining the 4-octave range, adding the lower pipes would certainly increase the size (and cost -- if that was a factor).And yes -- even with retaining 4 octaves the 8' would significantly change the size of the instrument. In any case, it is not a portative -- it's a positive.
Portative ? Are you positive that this is a portative? It doesn't appear to be very *porta* - ble. It actually appears to be in a rather stationary *posit* - ion. ... portative vs. positive organ -- essentially the same, except in size, and with buttons on the portative and slides on the positive. In principle the basic elements are the same, except for the keyboard that in a portative organ are buttons and in a positive, depending on the period, it will be slides or buttons. In the late medieval period and the renaissance, both may have keys instead of buttons. Probably the most outstanding difference is the possibility of moving the instrument and the way they are performed: a *portative* can be played by one person, one hand on the bellow and another on the keyboard, and especially it can be carried while playing, while a *positive* needs at least two people, one for the bellows and another for the keyboard, and can’t be carried while playing it.
This sounds like something you'd hear on an old cartoon.
No. It just sounds cute is all.
oh yo think, that
pull all the stops!

LOL! Just a little improvisation.
Yoshi’s Wooly World??
Too squeaky for my taste, but it *is* a real organ!
That's just the music they playing. You can choose much better sounding songs for it.
