I thought during the presentation that the track is from a recording as for background music. Then I saw the pedal work on the new build - OMG. Thumbs up.
Congratulations! Very nicely finished. +1 for physical stops; labels are elegant. +2 for the keyboard-saw-giant-carbon-teeth at 2:30, surprised the plastic did not shatter.
Bravo !! Absolutely amazing musicianship and craftsmanship. Many thanks for sharing the whole process ! ps. This reminds me of Donald Knuth's organ building ! What a sea-change...
Moc šikovní a pracovití kluci!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gratuluju k vynikajícímu nástroji, něco podobného kutíme k nám do kostela, napíšu pak prosbu o pár rad.. Ať to pěkně a dlouho hraje!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic, gorgeous and beautiful project. Also tryhard and dedication to work. My appreciation and gratitude for showing me what my dream could look like. I wish you health and a long happy life. By the way, you play the organ very well. 👍👍👍

@user-my8fr5lj5b Thank you so much.. The words like this is important for me :) All good to you too.
Very nicely done in a relatively short time. My home theatre organ project started in 1966 and has gone thru 3 major rebuilds from analog to digital combined with real pipes.
4 года назад
Thank you so much. You know.. When motivation to make this is sufficiently big then things happen in sort time.. :)
You are both very gifted! Surely you didn't just wake up one morning and decided to put this together from scratch. Your "genius" is the result of at least a decade of gradual stimulous, encouragement and genetic predisposition. Why can't other young people develop into modern day 'Leonardo da Vinci's" ? Instead we have a whole generation that is drowning in debauchery. I would be really interested in seeing you interviewed by someone like Dr. JORDAN PETERSON, and have you talk about the inner workings of your mind to find out what makes you so unique and creative! I'm thrilled at what you have done.

Oh, thank you so much. We were both very pleased for your comment. :) But that was about a good idea and a lot of work and perseverance.
Dear Valent; amazing, inspirational creativity on the build. BUT - your performance was not just technically brilliant . It displays that rare 'bite' and urgency which is the hallmark of the first class organist. So here we have the complete 'set'. Quite a sample. Great. Total congratulations.
3 года назад
Oh, thank you for the compliment. You made my day better. :) :) :)
Dear Valent; pleasure was mine. (I rarely post - who reads? :). You shared yourself with obvious delight. I learnt as a teen on old 'tracker' organs in old freezing churches. Practiced untill my fingers were frozen and the fugues wouldn't flow anymore. Home organs leave me sighing and wondering. I also worked for IBM when they released something called a 'personal computer'.mmm. Times change huh? I have my Yamaha 'electronic' grand now. I'm not quite 70 yet - so who knows...Laurenskirche Rotterdam?.....:):) ..........@
I would go for real professional wooden manuals. May cost a few thousand but the manuals are what the instrument is mostly about. Such professional manuals are so delicious, the perfect shaping and the solidness and the feel when pressing a note.
4 года назад
@@Engineer9736 Yes, you are right. Playing on my cheap manuals cannot be compared with playing on mechanical tracture keys. But this was constructed just for home practice and my pleasure not for churches or so.
People complain about digital organs sounding fake and not being close to pipe, but yet some are ok with setups like this that are even fake. I think they both are great, especially the new technologies we have today.
5 лет назад+4
Yes. Sound never will be like pipe organ but if using pay organ sample set and good quality headphones or some sound system then is pretty close to reality. For home practicing it is cool.
Amazing workmanship and musicianship. I have to admit you scared me a little, especially when your fingers were so close to the powered hand planer tool.
incredible. I wish i was tech savy. i have an ahlborn galanti with custom Conn pipes i hacked up and Allen speakers underneath. i just dont know how to get the hauptwerk incorporated.
That is magnificent! I wish i could figure that out. I have an AhlbornGalanti with conn pipes. I tried Grand orgue but never got it to work properly. I really wish there would be someone who could set up the Hauptwerk for me.
I'm very impressed about your technological and musical work!!!, you both could start your own company of hauptwerk consoles building if you wish, but I think you priority is to make art, don't you?

Hello. Thank you so much. I would like to play and construct the organ but it is just my hobby because my primary work is IT. I have no more time for this. :/
Good morning Valent, I was wondering if you'd be willing to share your electrical / wiring designs? I'm planning on building my own organ, but don't quite understand how all the electrics fit together. Wonderful playing! Thank you.
First of all, amazing work; your instrument is really beautiful. You're a great organist and technician. I see that we are a kind of "twins souls". My primary work is IT, I'm an organist in a church in Madrid, and I constructed a console for playing at home (in mi case using touch screens, so good bye shift registers 🙂). I've read the entire thread (very interesting) but I have yet a couple of doubts: The first, I see very clearly the hinge system you used in the swell pedals but I'd like to know more about the piece you used as a 10K potentiometer. Is it a component "as is" or something you make DIY? How do you get the mechanical resistance? The second is more a curiosity. Your instrument is two manuals, but Friesach is a three manuals organ. Have you discarded an entire division or have you make a mix? Thanks in advance and, again, superb work

Hmm, what a coincidence.. During my life, I had the opportunity to convince myself several times that technically skilled people are also musically gifted. :D It is modulation wheel disasembled from midi keyboard: valsite.sk/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/swell_crescendo_pedal-1024x381.png In my webblog you can read more: valsite.sk/projekty Yes.. I wanted constructed 2 manual console because the majority of free sample sets organ is with 2 manual (and also price reason). But I thought also when if load 3 manual organ sample sets on 2 manual console so would by good to have the switches to 3 manual (I/III, II/III, and so on).. and I did so. Thank for your response.. :)
Very nice job! I’m also often thinking to make such organ console myself. Professional organ manufacturers ask 10+ K euro for such console. I have no idea how they justify that costs, except that that market isn’t very big which causes a monopoly effect.
5 лет назад+1
Yes, that was a reason why I started to build my own organ. Thank you.
My brother works for one of the manufactureres here in the Netherlands. Consoles here start at 10K, but the reason is there is a lot of labor for every console. Every console is unique and completely handmade, that makes it expensive.
5 лет назад+1
Your right and I understand why it is so. My organ is much cheaper than organ assembled in manufactured factory, and cannot be compared with.
Better, but no one in our country or near has it. That's why I decide assemble own organ.
5 лет назад
Yes I agree with you Stephen. Hauptwerk is so good because sample set was recording from church with its acoustic and can be possible to load different organ sample set. Instead it any digital organs has sound generated by built in computer unit. I heard sound from usual digital organ and it is not like hauptwerk. Maybe in more expensive digital organ it is better. Thank you so much.
Good job on your project! What did you use for the sound source, digital tone generator or computer software? It is too bad that there are no organ kits like there used to be, from the 50s to 80s. Such as Artisan, Schober, Devtronics and Wersi. Wersi was the best, because after the kit was built, it look like an assembled from a factory.
5 лет назад+2
Computer - Hauptwerk software. Organ console is based on midi comunication. It means that organ can be connected to any software like Hauptwerk, GrandOruge or something else with midi support.
3:17 Seriously... As long as you don’t feel shocked yourself by just watching that act, please don’t touch any power tool again. Your fingers where 4 cm away from being splattered around the room. If that board fell over, the purpose of owning a pipe organ would have been gone. Similar to using knifes... Don’t cut towards yourself. With power tools: Keep your limbs as far away as possible and especially never in the area where the tool is-, or could be, heading in. But the organ looks nice! 😊
3 года назад+2
Yes, you are true but I trusted my brother :D Thank you so much.
My father was a careful builder and wouldn’t let me use dangerous electrical saws, planners etc. If we are musicians our hands and fingers as well as our hearing are especially valuable. Even now I will not touch such tools without proper training as at least with hand saws etc I cut myself but never lose a finger . But have seen plenty of other tradesmen and DIYs with missing fingers . It is very timely advice
I wish I had more info on the parts used, not so much the wood but the electronics and things like the name of the "led buttons" and what kind of micro controller you used if at all to control all the midi input and output. Heck I would pay for that Autocad model you showed in the beginning
3 года назад+1
I can send email to you with small description about this.
@ It would be amazing! I was looking into using multiplexers in parallel to achieve something like what you showed in the video, it looked really cleanly made with some kind of sockets for the conections. My email address is x-porter-x@hotmail.com Thanks a lot btw any bit of info helps!
Please is it possible I order the plans from you to make one of these myself. Since I discovered Hauptwerk I wanted to build one. You have done an amazing terrific job making this. Please is it possible to get a copy of the plans for circuit board and code?
3 года назад
Hello, thank you so much. :) I replied to the messenger.
Great work! Having those stops forces You to play on one specific organs in software like Hauptwerk?
5 лет назад+1
The registration I have been selected by mostly frequented names. For example principal may be replace by montre or diapason, plein jeu by mixture, trompete by posaune and so on. But if I load bigger organ than 50 registers then may became the problem. Organ can be also connected to another alternative software like grand orgue or so.
@ ok, but then You got to figure out somehow what every stop means in every organ. But I get it. I would personally do it like Viscount model. Small plates that you can write on names of stops (they are LEDs or something to program). Theyre also probably expensive
5 лет назад+3
Yes.. but I will install additional display monitors or tablets maybe in future. Current I am using my favorite free sample FRIESACH and its stops names are corresponding.
A carpenter who can play the organ! Rarer than an organist handyman. Well done!
Thank you :D I will tell to my brother..
Beautiful organ, masterfully done. Great registration and interpretation of the Belier...perfect tempo. Thanks from San Francisco
Oh, thank you so much
Best talent combined? Playing the organ, and building an organ! You are the future organ builders!
Oh, thank you so much. I really love organ music so much and that's why I was strongly motivated to build this.
I thought during the presentation that the track is from a recording as for background music. Then I saw the pedal work on the new build - OMG. Thumbs up.
Immense respect that you took the time to build this yourself. Shows skill and dedication. Well done bro.
Freakin’ awesome. Excellent craftsmanship. Love your Festools, etc. Wish I could build myself a MIDI organ console.
Another celebrated artist performs the same piece on RUclips. Your performance blows him away. BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO!
Oh, thank you so much. You made my day better. :)
Congratulations! Very nicely finished.
+1 for physical stops; labels are elegant.

Brilliant workmanship. sound quality also good
That ending was really clever
Wow! Congratulations! Beautiful work and incredible talent!
I don't know which of you was playing the organ. But I must say it was brilliant, and from memory no less! Bravissimo!
Thank you. I am playing. The person at left in 3:55.
Beautiful workmanship! Beautiful results!
Bravo !! Absolutely amazing musicianship and craftsmanship. Many thanks for sharing the whole process !
ps. This reminds me of Donald Knuth's organ building ! What a sea-change...
My goodness! 19 dislikes so far for this awesome video. I guess these are from electronic organ makers. Many thumbs up from my part!
Anyway I'm sincerely glad that this video has so many likes and you like it too. Thank you so much.

Great!! Amazing work for the organ, and the Toccata is fantastic!
OMG! You'll be a great organ builder someday!
Stunning job done! I plan the same, building a digital harpsichord with 2 manuals.
Sounds great.. Post this on youtube when you are finished. :)
Excellent work and musicianship! Good work!
I was surprised when I found out the background music was played by this organ
yeah, that was my intention ;)
That organ is awesome! Also your playing is really good
The result is unbelieveble! Rob
Amazing, what a wonderful work.
this is magnificent. a great way to actually get an organ to fit a normal house. nice!
Splendid job!
WOW! Great work! *cheer*
Wow men! I am handy but you are the most handy men i have ever seen! Great!!
Davvero molto bravi!!

Yes, but I was afraid when I cut it :D

A fabulous sound!
Came to this video from after thinking up something similar just now. Just wow!! It sounds amazing!! Very awesome!

Splendid !
Wow!!!! Amazing! I wish I could build something like that
AMAZING !!!
I wish I had the same… great work….
This is amazing!
Wow this is amazing! Beautiful
Wow!!! BRAVO!! In love with you!!!
That's a beautiful console! Now, imagine if it was connected to several ranks of actual organ pipes! What could be more thrilling?
Amazing work man. Good job!
very impressive!
Amazing workmanship and musicianship. I have to admit you scared me a little, especially when your fingers were so close to the powered hand planer tool.
I was more scared when he started cutting into the assembled keyboard’s plastic overhang.
I nearly pulled out the Heart Stop!!
Do not worry! :D nothing happened to anyone.
We need another video with that organ
Paráda! To je velmi nádherný!
Nice work!
that took a lot of time! nice work, thank you for sharing!
