The right one not so much😂😂😂😂😂😂
My left ear enjoyed this video.
Alowishus Devadander Abercrombie so true

What's the point of showing us an organ without playing it? Now really.
precisely ;( what a wasted 2 minutes that was
dankurydotcom o so you enjoyed the 19 secs?
It is very huge but does not work ? Cleaning pipes takes 360 days a year.
Very strong sound, it should destroy your ears ? :-)
To educate us! That's what.
@@matthewharhai4039So, why constroy a musical instrument, but you can't used it?
Not only making noise, but IN TUNE...
You gotta figure that is kinnda important
SPOILER ALERT: The organ is NOT demonstrated in this video. Just people talking *about* it, but not actually playing it.
Weak.
Fuck this shit I'm out
I thought we were going to HEAR it!
I for one would donate to a general fund to keep some of these historic pipe organs operational. They are as worthy to preserve as any art I have seen.
Wow, most of the components are probably hand made like everything else in the 30's, and yet over 33,000 pipes all tuned just right and playable by a single person, quite an achievement! I cant imagine what it would cost to build something like this today
Thanks for playing such a lovely piece of Haendel for us. Bravooooooo
Awesome....what a tragedy for this to be quiet for so long when so many could be enjoying and receiving blessings its music that it was meant to make!
Thanks for sharing this info!
Thank you for making this amazing Organ sound again guys. This is awsome!
Too bad they didn't play it in this video.
+Aaron Lowe Exactly what I wanted to say :/
Search the other videos for this instrument and you can hear it played - quite remarkable.
In my mind the state that this organ is in is an almost direct reflection of the state that this country is in.
You're sitting next to what you call the best organ ever and didn't play it for us, I'm disappointed man.
Mom, I wanna grow up to be an Organ technician!
I love the gazebo-like console enclosure
my left ear loved this
This Instrument has literally a cockpit
I agree that at least a small sample of it being played would make this a better video. Just search "Organ at Boardwalk Hall, in Atlantic City, NJ, being played" to hear it, and also note how it dominates the hall. This thing is BIG. However, that said, to truly appreciate anything this large you must actually visit the place. I imagine this massive beast would send vibrations through your bones if the organist really let loose.
If you really want to hear a great organ, get along to almost any large cathedral, no matter what, if any, your faith. It's an experience not to be forgotten.
It's just like hearing a CD of a Symphony orchestra playing the 1812 Overture, or some similar powerful classical piece, and going and hearing it live. The CD may be nice, but the live orchestra can send chills through your body.
In the late 70's I was given a tour of the organ. It was frightening to sit at the console. Just played it for a short time. Then I went to the enclosure with the 64 foot pipe and asked the organist there to play that low note while I was in the chamber.... I vibrated uncontrollably... I'll never forget the experience.
OMFG I WANTED TO HEAR SMTH NOT YOU TALKING ABOUT THE DAMN THING
There are recordings, but not recent ones
né, eu tbm

Couldn't agree more.
Using the organ for public events is a very important strategy! One of the largest organs in Europe, the organ in Stockholm City Hall, Sweden, built in 1925, had been silent for decades. Extensive work made by amateurs made it somewhat playable. It was re-introduced during one of the annual Nobel Prize banquets. It's now somewhat of an institution that the laureates and the royal family enters to organ music. The media attention eventually saved the instrument. A well known British organ company, used to work with very large instruments, has now restored it.
I wouldn't mind owning a septuple-manual organ. If it weren't bigger than my house...
Haha me neither!
What's better than roses on the piano? Tulips on the organ!!!
Do you think they'll fit on this one?
“The largest instrument built by MAN”..... man???
And it only has 1.1 Million views
what a shame. to revive this amazing instrument on some so futil and mundane as Miss America. deserves better uses
Miss America died along times ago. America goes by they/it. There are only small bits of Miss America left. Some examples are the red wood Forrest and lots of Oregon and Washington.
I still hope that this massive instrument is preserved in the digital realm as well, but it would probably take a small "server farm" and multiple full installs of Hauptwerk to make it so. Oh, and Thigpen rotary woofers. Even those are FRAIL compared to the mighty 64'
Dulzian... but what a dream that would be- to have a model of this console, and the means to make it live... for those of us who wouldn't be able to have access to the instrument...
The World's Largest and over the top Pipe Organ
If they can get both stage left and stage Right chambers up and running that would make a huge difference. Such a beautiful Instrument yet never given that 1 big shot of cash injection to get it up and running.
Anton Jans, the cost to restore the organ is estimated at $16-17 million dollars. It will probably take 10 years to raise the funds and do the work... but when finished, it will be glorious!
Having rebuilt several over the years, for $5 Milton you could design and build a new one with MORE STUFF than this one....even at today's prices.
Fantastic instrument.
And here I was thinking the largest pipe organ was in Hammond Castle. That was huge but the one here is MASSIVE!!
I love the complexity and yet simplicity of vintage designed organs and player pianos.
I restored a rare auto tracking player piano that was made for the Chicago world fair 1933. By doing so I connected with others out there repairing pipe organs and other vintage related instruments. Old carousels with steam powered pipes. I've seen square wood pipes. San Diego CA. has a very huge outdoor organ called the Spreckels Organ Pavilion, very cool.
Much power so vintage Wow!
Great that this organ sounds again.
if anyone is wondering the organ does have a name it's Poseidon
I hope the restoration keeps going forward to completion. And that I live long enough to see it, hear it and play it.
Thank you.Please,if at all possible, record the organ performance at the Miss America Pageant.
why all the sounds are in left side?
Pull out the headphone plug a bit.. Use some tape to secure it in a fixed position ;-)
No, the audio in the video is messed up.
Pianoforte Sam what sucks is my left earbud is broken cause my cat chewed up the left side so i only hear static. Darn
Guess it's Democrat.

Title should say "World's largest pipe organ not being played."
The Midmer-Losh/Boardwalk hall organ has these:
-Four 61-key upper manuals
-One 73-key mid manual
-Two 85-key lower manual
- 32-key pedalboard
-1235 stops overall
The number of pipes depends on the number of keys and stops for example...If the organ has 322 keys in total (hand manual and pedalboard combined) multiplied by the number of stops (e.g: 88) then the total number of pipes will be 28,336
One key = 1 pipe
One stop = depends on the number of organ keys
It's already been counted that the organ has over 33,000 pipes. You haven't included extra pipes to cover when octave couplers are used, and mixture stops that use multiple ranks. Some string stops have more than one rank of pipes.
33K pipes?! What the actual HELL?!
Boardwalk Organ confirmed to be largest musical instrument ever
This is a world cultural heritage !
Please save this for ever.
It needs world's best fire protection system first,
and best engineer man power.
(I can't operate everyplace)
Greetings from Germany
To a Twenty-first-and-15th-year century man learned man such as I this organ is tantamount to a kid's play-thing
Wow.Marvelous piece of engineering!
Vernon, you left the microphone on the beach!
In 2018, this would be perfectly fitting for the Miss America Pageant! Women not rated by looks; an organ not rated by sound. Rated by discussion of merits and how big it is.
my new headphones must be broken
My left ear really love this.
It would be the The World's Largest Pipe Organ - if it worked!
33,000 pipes and a few hundred working doesn't make it a record breaker!
Great organ, but I mean, could we hear it!?!?!
The CONSOLE of this organ looks straight out of the Wizard of Oz! Like if Oz were a real place. All of these organs sound the same coming out of my laptop but they are amazing to hear in real life.
I hope that they make it a public launch on the internet for this, as I would love to hear such a massive playable organ with SIX Manuals, and I cannot count the number of Stops.
Will someone let me know when a download is availalbe.
*7 Manuals, and a full pedalboard.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boardwalk_Hall_Auditorium_Organ
No one states the place it's located in, nor the city it's located in. One has to sleuth it out by figuring when a pipe organ was played for the Miss America pageant !
Love that they take care of the organ,
but may we here some music of this organ on the net?
How is this thing 150 tonnes still confused are there other parts of this instrument we have not seen.
The organist claims that the organ is the "largest musical instrument ever built by man," but one man's creation outweighed this organ by at least 50 tons: Thaddeus Cahill's Telharmonium. The first electric musical instrument, the Telharmonium used a series of tone generators whose output was added together (additive synthesis) and the music played was transmitted over phone lines and sold to New York City hotels and other venues, much like the "Muzak" of now. Sadly none of the instruments or their recordings have survived, but the Tehlarmonium was a marvelous invention that set many precedents.
Cannock Chase Organ Club Okay boys. let's not get into a pissing match.
....... Are there instruments built by someone other than mankind? 😂😂😂😂
BEAUTIFUL..BEAUTIFUL.!!!
such an elegant instrument
Thanks for the video.
Y u no play
Hurricane damaged it?
Who played the song of storms on it ;-)
Zelda fans know hehe
It seems like "the Wind, it is blowing".
A v ^ A v ^
Guy B It was not the hurricane itself. But the basement - where a lot of the organ parts are placed - were flooded with sea water pressed in by the strong winds.
+Guy B Funny thing is it is "named" Poseidon.
Guy Barry white music
Ok this is impressive
The largest working pipe organ when it stood was the Chicago Stadium organ. The organ consul is in the home of casino owner Phil Maloof's home the over 30,000 pipes were destroyed in a warehouse fire. It was unfortunately never taken to the United Center on the account of being too big and expensive to move. Although some beleive differently.
That's no fucking joke, no joke.
Ganondorf played this shit like everyday.
That's strange, I had the opportunity to play the Macy's Organ in Phila back in the 70's which claimed it was the LARGEST - and supposedly one in Germany claimed IT WAS BIGGER. Just wonder - WHAT ONE REALLY IS? Somebody's WRONG
The Atlantic City organ is the largest by all measures. However, it is being restored and not fully operational.
@@alk9365 The Wanamaker organ at Macy's in Philadelphia is currently the world's largest *fully operational* organ.
@@lt1caprice57l You are correct. Maybe someday the A.C. instrument will be fully operational!
@@alk9365 They are working on it, slowly but surely.
Ok just found ,it showed up on utube ,where is this organ ,I thought the organ at Macy's was the largest
No shots of the hall itself? Any case (pipes)? And most importantly, not a single note to be heard???
so sad that you can’t see the pipes in the building
HIGHLY IMPRESSIVE!
The winner of the "The Largest Video Editing Fail Award"
Is there somewhere to donate to help fully restore it?
Thanks left ear channel
.... play the Imperial March!
They will
Fuck off
After being silent for over 40 years.....?!!
Almost informative control room nice, I hope the arena enjoyed what we thought we were at least going to hear...........
I couldn't hear the organ. Was it on the right side?
Nevermind how it sounds. The smell is divine! haha
Wow that monstrous pipe organ is something
I Would Love To Hear This Play Organ Toccata
I would love to hear someone play Castlevania music on that, lol!
Bloody Tears on 100 inches of wind pressure, gotta love that. :)
Let us know when you get it fixed
This audio is horrendous but decent little docu all the same
L. Ron Hubbard probably knew this organ.
I just want to press all the buttons.
Would be nice if the sound was stereo.
No one need a Organ like this?!
Magnificent!
That's just...crazy.
Wait wait wait it's taken how much time and money to rebuild this organ but it was made how many years ago you think we would be able to just fix it
33,000 pipes! Wow!
I came here for the sound of that machine dammit
Perhaps it is not the world's largest playable organ.
Doug Morris
now just invite Rob Swire to over to play it..
I wonder how someone can practice to play on all 6 manuals, and look up high to the paper piece
My right ear a bit lonely.. at least my right ear got to listen to fizzy tv sounds or whatever
dit is toch niet meer normaal
It's like a fuckin airplane cockpit
What year did thwy use the organ for the Miss America Pageant?
