That is amazing! I couldn't even imagine what it might have taken to build on of these. Hot Rod builders have NOTHING pipe organ builders. You were so lucky. May God be blessing your father, forever. As he is.
FYI, the music was composed by the legendary Sherman Brothers (Robert and Richard), Richard died last week and Robert died a while ago. They also composed iconic Disney themes like Mary Poppins, Jungle Book, as well as "It's A Small World".
She is a beast. A beautiful beast. Especially in the right hands. Well done. "He'll have to get out and get under, to fix his little machine". A very old memory for me. Mike in Oz.
👍 👍! Theater organs have the whistles and bells a traditional pipe organ doesn’t, but both are incredible instruments to master and enjoy- such versatility.
That the piano is _part of_ the organ (just like the other subinstruments are)! Yeah, it's highly fascinating, isn't it? I find especially fascinating when you can go into the back spaces of a theater with one of these and a piano (upright) is stuffed up there where you can't even see it! Like... Wow, how did they crane it into there with all the other stuff? Did it go in before the rest of the building was built, and would you have to disassemble it if it needed to be replaced?
@@Tadfafty: Oh, thanks for completing your thought and thus making sense now. You might like to edit what you just said to your main comment (and then of course I would delete my reply because it would become obsolete after that).
@@Tadfafty: I see that you've edited your OP of this thread like I suggested. That's nice! (Now that you've done the edit we should probably delete our old replies since they don't apply anymore, so as to avoid confusing future readers.)

That's the first time I ever heard the "bird song" stop on an organ. But then, it's basically an enhanced Wurlitzer, which (even without enhancement) implies it could do damned near anything already.
My dad was a Pipe organ builder in NYC. I really miss him a lot. This brings back so many memories.
We refer to the instrument as a theater organ
@@garyreasor2277 Its all the same

THRILLING! So lovely . …. … Thank you so so much!
Such talent. Thank you. Lots of smiles.
My Dad was a great organist, played that magnificent pipe organ in the Sydney Town Hall, it also brings back fond memories
Amazingly talented gorgeous organ n great sound

Thanks
this is so freaking charming!
👍 👍! Theater organs have the whistles and bells a traditional pipe organ doesn’t, but both are incredible instruments to master and enjoy- such versatility.
It's is either a Pipe organ or a theater pipe organ. Either way it's still a pipe organ. Or an Organ
That's extremely impressive, performed on a setup that seems like the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang of organs. Thank you for posting it!
Amazing, what talent and hats off to all those who keep that Organ working behind the scenes.
Wonderful. Thanks again for the fabulous performance at my wife celebration of life at Blackwood Estate. Many will never forget, I'll remember You.
I LOVE it when the organ plays the piano too - I don’t know why it fascinates me so much!

Think I’ve read up on other videos that the piano was connected to the organ via a midi channel. Hope that kind of makes sense?
Nice tour-de-force. Really shows off this instrument.

In My Merry Oldsmobile

Wonderful playing, beautiful organ! Thanks.
I love/hate that Dave can trill with his left thumb. (When I try that, I have the equivalent of a limp!!) Excellent job - to everyone involved here!
Fantastic!
Wow! A little bit of everything.
This is amazing! Well done! And. 7:28 for the butt shot. Lol
Woww, that's AMAZING! Beautiful work!
Amazingly imaginative -- registrations, counter melodies, pedal lines, all kinds of things!
I ❤ that schmaltzy tremulant.
Should call it "A Motoring Medley"
Awesome!
Dave wickerman je speelt grandioos mooi, de sterren van de hemel, schitterend zeg, beautyfull.
Sweet!
Delightful!
Wow!
Loved it❤❤
Mostly “My Merry Oldsmobile” and “You’ve Got to Get Out and Get Under”.
Marvelous thanks for showing you playing your just outstanding I'm lost for words ❤
reminds me of the Organ Grinder up in Portland back in the 80's and 90s
"Bicycle Built for Two?"

I was impressed by the piano's stop: a real Steinway.
9-foot concert grand
Hello @@scottmusic242which instrument was connected to that piano
What's the name of the first song he played? I can't find it anywhere.
In My Merry Oldsmobile
!. In my merry Oldsmobile. 2. Get out and get under (the old model T)
3:53
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Nothing like the sound of a Organ
Should be called the Automobile Medley come to think of it.
Nice 7:28
Ps, de achternaam fout ingevuld dave wickerham moet het zijn, exuses voordezen foute spelling. Zal niet meer gebeuren.
