    This Video Has Now Even More Made Me Appreciated The Pipe Organ. Just Seeing The Sheer Skill One Must Use & NO Modern Devices are used to make the pipes for a pipe organ. ALL DONE BY HAND. Each single Pipe Is Crafted as you see it. WOW! Now I Understand How Costly They are to Buy.Bravo To The Pipe Builders For Their Wonderful Craft.!

    We need more videos like this one - showing the real, practical techniques, instead of overall descriptions and showcasing the remarkable skill of real craftsmen. ("A craftsman is someone who has brains in his fingers.")
    Superb work.
    (Mind you, I couldn't do *anything* with that racket from the radio going on, all day, in the background!)
    Thanks for the upload.

    Interesting. Organ pipes and steam locomotive whistles are in many ways related. Listen to the sound of a Big Boy or a Challenger, - they are almost rolling cathedrals. Thanks for posting.

    Most enlightening! I was wondering if organ builders ever make a second pipe, especially the smaller ones, intended to be put aside in mothballs for, say, 75 years until the next major rebuild/restoration becomes necessary. I can see a few problems, especially if a different builder is contracted, but many is the time when such spares would have made the task that much more 'faithful to the original'.

    • @jimsteinborn

      No, I've never heard of that. Generally, organ pipes never need replacing, unless they somehow get damaged beyond repair y some outside force.

    Why don't you turn the radio off before recording, so your audience can hear the pipe makers' discussion?

    What pipe is the square one at 12:25?

    • @Malignus68
      @Malignus68 6 лет назад

      Probably an experimental pipe. When I was a pipe maker I made a metal pipe that was rectangular rather than cylindrical. It ended up producing the resonant "hollow" tone of a wood pipe while retaining the "ringing" tone of a metal pipe.
      Not long ago I ran across a rank of experimental metal flute pipes made many years ago by the Kilgen organ company of St. Louis, Missouri. It was of normal construction except the body of the pipes were made of copper. They named it (not surprisingly) 4' Copper Flute. There was nothing special about its tone at all...you would never know it was made of copper...which probably explains why Kilgen didn't make any more of them.

    We use planing machines in the U.S. to smooth the organ pipe metal to precise thickness. Takes much less time. In the labor intensive organ building business, time is money.

    Is that sheet made of lead?
