I've had the privileged to sit behind the console, but never to press a key. Love love love it. What a very special moment and with one of the temple square organists.
Are all of those stops actually used throughout the year? I can’t imagine they are. It seems like an extravagance few churches could afford or justify their presence and cost! I know that not all pull knobs are voiced.
Considering the number of concerts it is used for throughout the week all year, I wouldn't be surprised if it is used to it's full capacity. It's an absolute ridiculous number of stops!
Absolutely they are all used. And each organ on Temple Square is constantly going through the process of tuning - as soon as they finish the organs, it has been a year plus, and it is time to begin again. If it is hard to imagine all those stops being used, keep this in mind: - 300+ midday organ recitals annually (on each instrument) - 2 annual General Conference broadcasts with 5 sessions each (conference center organ) - 52 weekly performances of music and the spoken word (rotates between instruments) - 52 weekly rehearsals with the Tabernacle Choir (rotates between instruments) - 52 weekly performances of "Piping Up" (rotates between instruments) - 10+ special holiday performances annually (rotates between instruments) On top of all of those events, the organs are used for daily and weekly practice for 5 organists, occasional stake conferences, and rare opportunities such as this one for students of the organ to demo it for a few moments. In a church that collects a 10% tithe, and yet only has 5 paid organists in the entire world, and only several instruments of note (nearly every church building has at most a humble electronic organ, or at least a yamaha digital piano), I think that the cost of building and maintaining these instruments is more than justified. They are honestly some of the most consistently used organs in the world, and feature a degree of excellence in their craftsmanship that few other instrument builders have attained.
My sisters boss is in the choir, and got us a chance to sit in during a music and the spoken word recording. Afterward, the organist was playing postlude and my sisters boss saw me in awe. She took me to meet the organist and the organist let me play a hymn while the crew was taking down equipment!
Its a shame that the organist has the worst seat in the house while playing the tab organ. With fast moving songs, you almost have to ignore the organ completely and just focus on the sheet music. Nice playing.

Why can’t you press a key? If you can play the organ, play it!
What an incredible sound! Even more impressive is the very young man with such an amazing musical gift. God-inspired, indeed!
That close to the great Tabernacle organ while played?! I'm so jealous!!
My family took part in building the tabernacle. It makes me proud to see and hear this amazing instrument and building!
Outstanding.
My church!❤
Incredible sound
Testing the bellows and the pipes? Wonderful! I LOVE this organ!
Wundervoll ! ❤
Absolutely spectacular. Let's hear some J.S Bach.
I'll agree to that!! 💯
That’s super cool bro. How long are you in town?
I’m home already, sorry dude

Gorgeous organ in a hateful building.
You are the only one espousing hatred here. I thought love is love? You are t very tolerant.

What is hateful about it?
Silly goose
@frankmarter6845
What arrangement is this?
I read it from just the hymn book, but if you want specifics I filled in all the chords and didn't do the Esus4 before the last stanza
He is risen

How did you get to do that? I’m a ward and stake organist. I hope to play that organ one day.

@@Charles-Reardon wow what a neat experience!

The acoustic in that room is a phenomenon
@@Charles-Reardon indeed it is. Pretty comparable to a large cathedral.
Sounded like some explosions in the middle of this video. Bad camera work. Ok playing
its the acoustic of the room, the organ is mid in some areas and deafening in other places.
