    Imagine building an instrument, which almost 300 years later, gives people (like me) chills !

    Excellent video of a fine instrument. There are a number of fine Spanish organs in good condition these days. Great to see the unusual features of this organ which are typical of the 18th century Iberian organ. The two 18th century organs at Segovia Cathedral (built by the Echevarría family) are particularly outstanding and worth visiting, as are the "Emperador" and Verdalonga organs at Toledo Cathedral.

    A fascinating comprehensive demonstration, showing how vastly different were national preferences of the time as this organ is an exact contemporary of the Muller organ of St Bavo and similar works of Batz and Hinz of the Netherlands.

    Just love the sound of Italian and Spanish baroque organs! I wish someone would do a Hauptwerk sample set of this beautiful organ 😊 Thank you for such a great video of this organ!

    What an amazing sound for a single Keyboard instrument. The Pedal slides in sound is like a waveform enhancer found on some synthesizers.

    Is there a historical reason why Spanish organ builders were so into these really intense trumpets?

      The Mallorcan organ builder Jordi Bosch, who also built this instrument, is considered by organologists to be the inventor of horizontal trumpet stops, among other things.

    Gracias Balint por este nuevo vídeo en el precioso órgano de Santoyo. Es verdad que en España hay algunos instrumentos históricos en buen estado, pero aún los hay más en estado de olvido y abandono. Testimonios como éste ayudan a crear conciencia de este importante patrimonio, lo que merece un enorme agradecimiento en nombre de los que amamos el órgano. Espero que también pudieras hacer una demo en Támara y que puedas volver pronto a España.

    I wonder, since there are no pedals or other strong bass voices, did the Spanish bring in other instruments to support the basses?

    • @bkarosi
      @bkarosi  7 месяцев назад +2

      Bass-driven harmony started to emerge in Spain and Italy significantly later than in Germany or the Netherlands partly because of the lack of 16’ organ pipes

  • @agogobell28
    @agogobell28 Год назад +2

    Do you know what temperament this organ has? It sounds very “mild”, yet the major thirds still ring nicely. Maybe a circulating temperament?

    Can anyone explain what does number 13 in Flautado 13 (and many spanish stops) refer to?

    • @jwyatt631
      @jwyatt631 Год назад +1

      I think that "13" represents an 8' stop. Unit of measurement ?

    • @hismajestysmen
      @hismajestysmen Год назад +5

      "13 Palmos" or 13 Palms, = 8 foot stop "26 Palmos" = 16 foot stop etc. "Lleno," or "Full", simply means mixture.

    • @roberthoffhines5419
      @roberthoffhines5419 Год назад +1

      indeed, but there is a "clang" to the old ones. Kind-of like the Chicago Symphony brass of the 60s-80s

    It looks like there's only a single manual and no pedals. Is that typical for Spanish organs?

      Yes, just like Italian organs but with lots of horizontal reeds
