Something people need to understand is that the camera equipment does NOT do the amount of bass an organ has any kind of justice at all. Nearly all of the lowish-mid to low bass notes, when listening to this piece in a place like this or even a church with a proper organ, will vibrate your chest. So with a proper organ and the right piece, its not just about listening to to it, its about actually feeling the piece being played because you can feel the notes in the air.
I went to a Christmas pageant in a church which had a (much much smaller!) pipe organ, and the the lower notes made the air thrum. I can’t imagine what a monster like this one would be like!
It's so freaking LOUD too, it's extremely intimidating to play aha
I also bet the "layering" they were talking about makes more of a difference in person, since it changes where the sound is coming from.
there's nothing like it!!!
It works quite ok when I play CD with this at home. Everything vibrates and shakes when the pedals comes in. The clothes slaps against the skin. Very nice experience.
But of course even better in a church with more multi-directional sound.
The pipe organ is like the kraken creature of musical instruments.
You watched pirates of the carrebean too often. Jk, I agree.
Yeah honestly every time there's an argument about "yeah but my instrument is better" and someone brings up the pipe organ, I'm like "okay yeah you're right, this instrument is way too f*cking amazing, I lost"
Hearing a pipe organ in an actual cathedral in Europe really is something, even random small churches have them and it's a blast during mass (despite the fact that I'm not even christian anymore)
@@timbauer1618 Davie Jones comin to play.
@@wxcvbndu51 yeah i can agree. Even in small churches in villages. Often those aound more iconic.
yes💯
Eddy's whole body language seemed to change after their Laoshi told him to play it like he would in a violin. Both were very impressive.
Right? So amazing.
yeah

As a Mandarin-speaking organist, I can say that the teacher was good. She was affirming, patient and explained well.
我比較想知道妳們都怎麼練琴？要去租教堂嗎？
@@audreyc8225 我本身是教堂的管风琴师，所以可以在教堂练习。 有些人负担得起，在家中装一架小型的。 不过还是在您要弹奏的场地练习最理想，可以调音色，感受效果。
@@audreyc8225 I practice at the church that I play for. Some organist can afford to install a small one at their home. But it's most ideal to practice at the venue where you will be paying/performing, whereby you can adjust the sound and experience the effect. Yes, some concert halls and churches with pipe organs are available for rental.
I was wondering, as an organist, how did you first decide that the organ was your instrument? Because it's difficult enough to find a place that has an organ and even more difficult to have the chance to try playing the organ.
@@soominkim2370 I am actually a worship pianist. The organist in the church I attended was retiring, so I was invited to be trained as an organist. Having piano background helped, but organ is so much more difficult. Nearly broke my back practising on the pedals!
The organ is such an intimidating instrument to play, I tried it once and the video REALLY doesn't do justice to how the sound completely envelops you and the basses vibrate in your chest! The *entire* room, however big, is just inundated with sound reverberating everywhere for each key you press. The one I tried was like 1/10 the size of this one too, I can't fathom how it would've felt for them! Try to imagine the ENTIRE gigantic hall they are in resonating, the truth is that you are literally inside the instrument.
You actually _are_ inside the instrument because the pipes on big organs are usually embedded on the surrounding walls.
Usually on a church. Which means there's an excessive amount of pipes far away from you playing in harmony. Loudly.
So then, this particular organ must be incredible to behold live.
@@nodezsh Exactly! The one thing I'm super curious about is the materials used for the walls and ceiling here, cuz I'm used to old-ass stone walled French churches that have a specific resonance, but this is a modern hall that was I assume built specifically for the organ sound they wanted. They've must've tailored the acoustics to it! Listening in, it sounds much dryer, with less sound decay&reverb compared to what I heard in churches.
@@shaetane I just wanna know how Brett and Eddy managed to pull off this video.
I also wanna hear it. However I have no frame of reference because i don't like churches. (I also don't know of any that have an organ anywhere in my town. I've never heard one from afar so I assume they just aren't here.)
@@nodezsh If you're in Europe, at least it's like that in France, there literally is at least one church per village (however small), and I'd say 80% of the time they have an organ. I'm not religious at all but I always go look inside the local church when I'm visiting somewhere to admire the organ, stained glass and overall architecture & sculptures!
The church is often the biggest and most beautiful building in a village, it's wild how much people back in the day dedicated to religion.
As an organist it really pleases me to see others appreciate our instrument like this. It is sad though how many organs especially in North America are going to waste since no one plays them or repairs them.
That organ is sooo epic! So is the organist... And of course Twoset! Thank you for uploading epic content as you go!
You're epic too Ma'am
@@rajeealidao5296 You’re*
“If the teacher thinks you’re better she makes you work harder” HA! Made me laugh so hard. If I know my students can do better I’m definitely more picky.
Eddy's expression of awe as he played those last chords was priceless. It said what anyone who's heard an organ live feels.
As an organist myself i love the organ content on this channel!
And also a note to all non-organists here: no recording can give you the majesty, and unbelivable might and the feeling that the 're' in this piece on tutti causes: ground is shaking, your whole body is shivering, and the sound comming from different directions, different colours of the sound comming from separate directions, its like playing on orchestra but louder and with more might. You could see the smile of excitement appearing on Brett's and Eddy's faces :D
No wonder organs were mainly church instruments; in great cathedrals (like Notre Dame) the sound of organs could quite literaly make you feel like in god's presence. Organ is simply the best instrument in the world
Some pipes like 32' and 64' they make almost no sound, instead they emit waves that tremble the ground and all the bones inside your body
Love violin and all of the orchestral instruments, but organs are the definition of majestic!!!
I am Organist!
Couldn’t agree with you more. It’s a “whole body” experience when listening to an organ concert in person. The air in the room literally vibrates everything.
🌴☀️🌴
yes God likes this music. surely many kind spirits come .
I mean, they seem so focused in this video. It makes for a more educational experience than the more chaotic learning-an-instrument-in-one-hour videos, I think.
the power of the organ really dies that to you, considering this is a very large one renowned for its size
A lot of the other instruments involve actually learning posture, how to hold the instrument, and how to produce a sound. Since they already know how to play piano, a lot of the learning is already done so they can immediately get on to other things.
I could listen to her talk about the organ for hours. What an impressive instrument and what a passionate performer.
I could listen to her about everthing for the rest of my life too lol
Same here, I can’t even understand what she’s saying but her passion for this instrument is magical.
@@thibomeurkens2296 well I’m Chinese and I understand everything, and yeah she sounds like a nice teacher
Then you'll also like Rob Scallon's videos where he plays the pipe organ along with an organist.
@@thibomeurkens2296 Errr, turn on subtitles?
As an organist myself, I've been waiting for this video for years!
Same here🥳👀
_I'm something of an organist myself._
Same here also
Me too
Oh my that's so cool that you can play the organ!
Not as silly and chaotic as the other "learn how to play" videos, but this impressive organ garners a bit more respect, don't you think? I'm glad this one was serious and they could show their keyboard skills, since we all know they can both play piano. Enjoyed this a lot.
I'm guessing there was some keyboard practice of the Toccata and Fugue prior to this lesson.
@@kristinebenson6625 Ah, possibly! That would make me feel less inferior to them. 😅 (I'm kidding, I don't mind seeing people more talented than I!)
on point
@@kristinebenson6625 it's easy to play it and they already have some experience on it
She's absolutely correct when she says that every pause and every space is important. In the organ masterclass I attend, seemingly half the time is dedicated to talking about spaces and pauses and breaths.
how do you guys practice organ? rent/borrow a church (music hall?)
(this part of issue is always make me curious)
I find that quite ironic as she played Toccata at lightning speed 😂
@@Masterfighterx I thought the same thing. It was too fast in my opinion.
@@minnieyuyantung You can just go to the church in your town/ask nicely. Normally, If you play organ you know the organist in your church, he will let you practice there.
@@minnieyuyantung virtual pipe organ at home (MIDI keyboards + pedalboard + software like Hauptwerk)
Nice!! I think this type of instrument and hall would benefit from being recorded with an ambisonic microphone, to really capture the grandness, and spatial aspect of the sound.
There are plenty of Super Audio CDs containing that kind of music. If you can afford the equipment to play it, anyways. There's some that contain surround audio, so the spatial effect will be there.
Good subwoofers are fucking expensive, however.
It's almost cheaper to just go to a concert.
@@nodezsh I agree, buying a set of speakers with good subwoofers and tweeters (ideally beryllium or diamond) is so expensive that it's generally more affordable to attend live events. Plus then you get to watch the musician in action :)
@@ExhaustedOwl But going back to OP, I don't even know if there's even any binaural recordings of organ music out there, at all, like they want.
Because good headphones are far cheaper than a surround SACD receiver system. Including DAC and amplifier. There's also DACs that can output DSD (which is what SACDs contain), like mine, and mine also comes with an integrated amplifier.
Anyways.
Would a binaural recording even work with organ music? Maybe it'd be interesting to find some Dolby Atmos release on Apple Music and listen with Airpods because they contain gyroscopes, apparently.
@@nodezsh Very good point.
4D audio lets gooo
You two took the organ very well. Most beginners can barely manage the pedals after an hour and you guys took it instinctively. The only problem is you didn’t go over registration (stops and sounds) but I can’t blame you, that would add a whole hour to the video.
With the number of voices on that monster I hardly think an hour would be enough....
@@altoclef6688 that organ has over 100 stops, I would spend hours playing around with it before actually practicing
Try the Johnathon Scot video on this organ. He does a full demonstration of it
@@edmundsmith3943 that was the first time I saw this organ, been in love with it ever since
They played it better than you ever will ;)
Really amazed by Brett's skills😳 he played the organ so well after such a short time!
@@Remy10_yt Not only some years. He went to competitions when he was younger. He kind of "hides" his piano skills.
@@marcellocoimbra4540 I knew he played as a kid. When they dud the childhood videos he was like "oh I couldn't play like that anymore" then just belts this out. Holy moly
I know right? Hes always a quick learner!
@@youinspiremyinnerserialkiller I mean… they still have a piano in their place lol including their violins. so I’m pretty sure Brett practices occasionally
Yup, he made it look really effortless and smooth...
Bret did a great job, I was surprised as he doesn’t show his keyboard skills on the channel often. The pipe organ is my favorite instrument and is not shown enough. It’s an instrument you not only hear but feel as it vibrates through you with each note especially the lower registers. Great video guys!
I agree with you! I really like their videos like this.
I knew Brett would do a great job. It's true that he doesn't show his keyboard skills often, but the times he does have consistently impressed me.
Is it just me or does Brett and piano (or keyboard instruments) look so good together
I think it's absolutely hilarious how Eddy started with a compliment and then got the full wrath of her teacher spirit
Years ago I attended an organ recital at Los Angeles’s famous First Congregational Church which houses one of the world’s largest organs - over 18,000 pipes - and while I cannot recall the title of this one piece, during it my body began to vibrate, starting with my feet, then the sensation ran up my body…… A massive pipe was voicing a note so low it sent a vibration instead of an audible sound. I’ve never forgotten it.
That sounds amazing. What a great experience!
I would love to visit that church one day to hear it played.
I love when music vibrates, it feels so cool. Best feeling ever. (Not in a bad way to dirty minded people)
Must be heaven
@@randomaussie3905 like when a cat purrs on your chest😊
@@fantasieanime yeah exactly like that
I literally froze on my place when Eddy was playing, dunno why but I couldn’t take my eyes off. He’s a great pianist just as he’s a marvelous violinist, they are both awesome musicians I admire you both so much guys!!
Thank u for another amazing video! You guys are the best!!💕
As an organist, I could give some touching testimony to the beauty of the instrument, but the organ speaks for itself. I want to discuss JUST HOW RELATABLE THE “CARELESS FOOT” COUNT WAS! I’ve been playing organ for the church for four years now, and my foot STILL wanders too close to the pedalboard as I’m getting the organ registration and sheet music for the next piece ready!
It's embarrassing, because the sound is so powerful, even when initiated accidentally. :P
Haha :)
Perhaps that's why some clever organ builders once "invented" the GC piston... ;)
lol anne
I also occasionally accompany our church services on the organ. Seeing as I'm the pastor's wife with two small children who don't want to sit downstairs with someone else, I've experienced quite a few 'accidents' at the organ 🙈
haha yess Anne… that’s all too relatable 🤣
12:22 reminded me of that toilet piano eddy gave brett for Christmas 😂
xD
Musicians: toccata and fugue
Nonmusicians: v a m p i r e m u s i c
i love how the teacher lady doesnt even flinch when they accidentally press the pedals and make a loud noise
One Sunday in church our organist"s baby got away from his mom and crawled underneath the organ (a familiar place for him), We kept singing and our organist kept playing... in spite of the odd loud sounds coming from the organ
She's probably taught many others before who did the same thing
That made me feel like in a movie😅😅😅Can't imagine how impressive the sound must been there
yes, different levels of pipes does not have any effect over youtube, you have to be there
this piece is typically associated with vampires in movies but later on it sounds more like a boss fight to me and i think that's pretty epic
yes because it's uhhhh
IT'S FROM A ROCKET SHIP BABYYY
yeh it always reminds me of dancing mad from ff6 but then again im sure a lot of that was based on this just like a lot of other final fantasy music was born from the love of prog rock like elp's tarkus. music is a wonderful thing for bringing up memories
It always reminds me of phantom of the oprea and nosferatu
There's a RUclips video about organs sounding so scary and it revolves around this exact piece.
When the pipe organ is the final boss and you have to beat it
4:35 I don't know about anyone else, but I can see a Mr Bean in Brett
As a young organist who’s obsessed w/ Bach and someone who loves your channel and has been following you I have to say…Thank you so much for this video 😁! I’ve been waiting on this a long time! Also, I refuse to believe you both never had any organ lessons until this video because the pedal technique, and manual articulation is far from “I have no experience whatsoever!” 🎶
Every instrument has their, 'Smoke on the water'. For organists, it's Toccata.
Lol
Less of "smoke on the water", more of "Freebird solo part"
Now we’ll know if they have been practising on the potty piano that Eddy bought for Brett! 😂
TwoSet, it would be great if you could do a collab with Brandon Acker, who is willing to enlighten us, TwoSet community, on great instruments like the Theorbo in particular, and the use of classical guitar and perhaps other instruments from earlier times.
He's a proficient musician and cool dude, and it would be very fun and informative !
I second this, I've learned so much about classical guitar, lute, and theorbo from him!
YES, let's have HIP Twoset, it is long since no vibrato hit
get this to the top
Yes do it
Yes, please. He is awesome.
Every musician should at some point in their lives get an hour with a pipe organ. It is unforgettable. This one was impressive, the vast array of voices... but already a medium size church organ gives you a feeling of power like no other instrument.. For an even better Bach piece, find the Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor.
another alto clef here
My favourite piece is the toccata in f. A almost never ending evolving theme with huge pedal Solos that could awake the dead.
Thank you for the recommendations! They are both beautiful pieces, and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to them.
Every musician should be honored to meet the King of Instruments! Find Him in your area and greet him with a bow and a “greetings,Your Majesty.” He deserves to have his day brightened up!^^
I remember in college I was really impressed and stunned when we went to a rehearsal of the organ concert by Hans Andre Stamm. The organ they played it one was massive and really intimidating; to feel the rumble of bass-notes in your chair is like nothing else in the world...
11:00 Yeah its true in every case, if you're better then you can expand onto more advanced techniques and learn them much quicker than a beginner would, so they usually make you work extra hard to make sure that not only that you're getting it right but make it sound good as well. Applies to every trade.
3.5 million subscribers let’s gooooooo🔥🔥 Halfway to 4mil, Brett are you ready? 👀
Damn man you say pianists are messed cuz they can't carry their piano around? Imagine needing a whole biulding to house your instrument. I feel for you organists
They have wheels that big
A small pipe organ can be crammed in the spare bedroom or basement of an average 3 or 4 bedroom suburban American middle class home.
I know; several of my friends have done it :D
Sometimes also on the cheap (i. e. save the pipe organ from the scrap dealer, moving it yourself with buddies; restore it/install it yourself etc etc all of which requires tons of hours of labor and lots of knowledge / help).
But you have to be willing to give up the space to the organ and also maintain it yourself
(unless you're loaded $$,$$$ to have it professionally maintained).
Some other people put it in the garage, attic,
or better yet build a purpose-built outbuilding to house the organ,
which might be a better option as then you can design better acoustics into the building
(as few homes were ever designed FOR a pipe organ).
This assumes you have enough extra land on your property (and can get a zoning permit) to put up such a building.
By 'small' I mean between 3 ranks and maybe (if you really cram it) 15 or 20 ranks.
Above that you need a bigger house :)
Also, most of these instruments I mention are electro-pneumatic or direct-electric instruments which are designed to be installed in a CHAMBER (room for all the pipes / chests),
not the classic "self contained tracker organs" that most people think about when they think "pipe organ",
as most of those are not designed to be installed in a pipe chamber / room in a modular fashion,
but have an entire enormous wooden CASE that is usually quite tall (usually 11' tall and higher) and cannot fit under normal suburban home ceilings unless you already have high ceilings and/or a mansion.
Some people bump up their ceilings to fit such a self-contained organ, while a few others have taken a tracker organ apart and re-routed the trackers (connecting rods, usually wooden but sometimes metal, which connect the keys/console to the pipe chests), to go horizontally instead of vertically,
or via another path to get to the organ chests in a different room.
I actually saw an organ offered online in this state and it did kind of look like a mess but hopefully sounded good :) Hopefully they also kept all the case parts so it could be put together in a more original way by the next owner.
@@andrewbarrett1537 also I imagine someone trying to use PVC pipes instead of metal.
Organs come in a huge variety of sizes. Mine is only the size of a piano but minus the weight of the cast iron frame and they get small enough for a single person to comfortably carry.
@@user-lh3uz1cp7y that's not an organ, that is a large harmonica with some keys
Eddy playing at the end really catch my attention how good he could play within 25 minutes. Good job on both Brett and eddy and love the organ episode!
Eddy, you need to release your alter yu-gi more often. It's the introverted serious-face fully focused version of yourself (plus the bangs) that you just released at 14:00 🤣
Then the grills will come naturally too. 😉
Ah yes the nice grills
1:36 I think it's actually four things: Organ shoes, a pipe organ, a good teacher, and two great students.
I love it when you guys try different instruments.

I know. I play organn too and eapecially in the night it can be scary but its a gloryous feeling being the "king" of that big room.
Like you’re foreshadowing your own doom!
I feel like as grander as the sound is, you’re also beckoning death with the instrument.

I would love that😂
I’ve played organ for my church since I was 14. Now I’m the official part time accompanist there, and I’m going to study organ/sacred music at uni (this fall, hopefully). I got so excited when I saw this video!!! ❤️❤️ also, Eddy and Brett, you did great! Thanks for making us organists proud.
As an organist, it's easy to let playing the organ start to feel mundane and lose the excitement sometimes. Thank you for allowing us viewers to come along as you experience the excitement of playing an organ for the first time!
I'm very used to hearing the organ playing hymns for our church, meaning it's lost all its excitement and grandeur to me. This video showed me how awesome an organ can be!
That’s how I feel playing the piano unfortunately. I’d love to learn this amazing instrument!!

I'm super impressed! It is so interesting to see how well you manage to learn something when you actually have some background into it (like playing piano). In addition, the chords with big pipe organ are just so ear candy that I could listen to them every day.
I really love this video. The way Eddy looked up at the end to feel the music echoing in the air is so beautiful. And the pipe organ sounds magnificent, i'm speechless.

This is also the organ that Mr. Jonathan Scott used few years ago when he played Nimrod by Elgar. Definitely recommend to listen. This is my dream organ since I watched that.
You guys speak perfect Mandarin as kids grown up abroad, especially the tones.
The tones are easier for Eddy because he has perfect pitch.

@@evajulijabelic9717 I've read a relevant study before! Apparently, people whose mother tongue is a tonal language (Mandarin, etc.) are much more likely to have perfect pitch than others. Amazing example of nature vs nurture in music, I guess?

0:06 Bret and Eddy getting a huge organ at their behinds is now canon.
* makes mistake and entire hall echoes with the sound of your terrible playing *
Humongous organ, beautiful lady and musician, great comedian violinists, actors and presenters! Great video! KUDOS💖
What an instrument. Looks and sounds amazing.
I live in Taiwan and have been to some of the organ recitals at the Weiwuying Concert Hall in Kaohsiung. When on maximum power, the sound feels like you have just jettisoned off the ground in a rocket and are feeling the g-force! Also great for echo effects with the smaller organ on the other side of the platform, which both can be controlled from the console or seperarately.
Yea this brings back memories when I was learning the basics of organ. Was a pianist first so I got the fingers covered. Ish. Then the foot pedals came in. I kept looking down lololololol I kept checking if my foot was on the right pedal. My eyes go to the music sheet and then straight down to my foot. My teacher kept telling me to STOP. LOOKING. HAHA
We also did that "close your eyes, repeat it, feel it, don't look" for the foot pedal so many times.
Ahhh good ol days. Been so long since I played that majestic instrument. Wish I can have the chance again.
It feels nice when you can recognise a TSV background piece straightaway, in the intro...
and then the bruh moment when you realise that they're going to play the piece throughout the video anyway
Brett’s potty piano to pipe organ is a real character development 🤣🤣🤣❤️🔥
😆
Oh my god I thought this too haha
Absolutely stunning instrument. I love how with pipe organs you are literally playing the entire building. And of course if you're physically in the building to listen as it's being played, your whole body resonates with the vibrations. Epic.
me when they are talking: turns volume up
me every 5 seconds when they are playing: turns volume down
It's strange to see organ in that setting for me. Being a Catholic from Poland, it's normal to see and hear it playing in church every week. Well, if you go to Mass ;) My uncle is an organist and he plays organs in church.
i felt the same! it was so weird hearing and seeing it in there.
that awesome!!
Same ! I'm French and it always disturbed me to see pictures of huge organs in Asia and America while over here it's basically a part of the architecture of your small town church or huge 150m tall cathedral
@@wxcvbndu51 exactly! You get to listen to organs everyday if you want, religious pieces, though, because it's a part of a service ;) but organists often have concerts in churches, for free. An organist at my local church stays a bit after a Mass and plays a little concert, usually some hits like toccata and fugue :) I guess, for many Europeans organ music = church music. And an organist is someone who plays organs and sings in church.
@@millie5205 yeah I remember one day back when I was playing saxophone, being like 12, we played in my town's cathedral, which happened to have the biggest pipe organ in the region, and there was an organist there
It was sooo impressive I still remember it to this day, I can definitely see why middle ages europeans decided to put it in churches, you really feel tiny and powerless compared to the sound of it
"if teacher thinks you're better, she makes you work harder"
literally asian teacher
When I saw "organ" in the title, I was sure they would play Bach's Toccata and Fugue 😍
Yes it's like the organ equivalent of the prelude in G for the cello

I love the organ too. It's really a wonder that it began its life as a hydraulis, something small and portable, and would grow to be something which weighs many elephants.
Wow! Were you two blown away playing this magnificent instrument?
I figured Eddy would excel since we see him playing the piano quite a bit, but I think Brett has been hiding his keyboard skills all this time! Great job guys!

@chris miranda I was really amazed by his piano skills in that video🤣
The organ is truly such an amazing instrument. We are quite lucky in Europe to have easy access to organ music because most historical churches would feature a proper organ and they often organise classical concerts centered on this instrument, aside from religious music during masses. The lower register of the organ is one of the most staggering controlled auditory experience I can remember: it resonates within your chest bones, lungs and guts and you feel the lowest notes with your body rather than with ears. It's epic!!
We should have a new word for this level of EPIC!!!
I'm still impressed by both Eddy's and Brett's skill even though we knew they played piano before. It sounds so amazing. You both did a good job!
I just want to thank you guys for encouraging me to practice. I turned 28 this past Dec and bought my first violin. Learning sheet music and all for the first time! Watching your videos has been super inspirational. I've played guitar my whole life and one day had an epiphany that the violin was the way to go. Your words of encouragement for people learning a new instrument in adulthood have been extremely inspirational for me❤ thank you
Wow! Way to go Julia. I took up the violin 3+ months ago. If I already had sight reading skills, it would have been a lot easier - I'm having to focus on notes so intonation and bowing go out of the window, till I know the piece better. Such a wondrous instrument though...
@@wakingtheworld well i have a tip for you if you are still struggling with reading notes on the spot. My flute instructor shared this with us actually, if it's written in Treble Clef, the line the clef coincidences with which is the second bottom line of the stave will take the note G(Sol). You can count up and down between and on the lines starting with it. Similarly but with slight nuance:
The line between the dots of the Bass clef will give you the F(Fa) note.
The line going through the middle of the Alto clef will give you the note C(Do)
@@a7xmaNga Well I have the simple E..very G..ood B..oy D..eserves F..ood and F- A- C- E from my school days and I bought some mini flash cards which helps. I have them spread out and can glance at them quickly to know my (lower) B from a C for eg. But at least now, my fingers know instinctively where to go once I've got the right note! Not spot on necessarily but my intonation is work in progress. Thanks though.
“Learning a instrument in 1hr” are always the best uploads ❤️
Agreed! 😍
Having a whole building sized instrument will be the greatest power that no one will ever outdo no matter what
Continually amazed by your talent! One of the most random and memorable experiences of my life was walking past a church on a summer night where an organist was practicing and sitting under a tree listening for several hours while the earth was actually vibrating.
That was amazing! Eddy always gives 100 % , total dedication to the music, perfectionism, you can see it in his face, and his playing was mesmerising, whereas Brett is more just having a good time and having fun.
Eddy jumping up and down for Interstellar is the best!! 2:54
True!!
The sound effect, either!
Now that you guys have learned the organ, what about doing the harpsichord next?
Harpsichord is similar to Piano, so I assume they would not do that. Nice idea though!
I would want to watch that video! Much like the organ, harpsichord doesn't have an easy way to control the volume the way a piano does so it'd be cool to see some appreciation for this instrument.
Glad to see more people getting involved and having a hands on experience with the instrument that has captivated my life! While I am so tired of hearing people play "Bach's" Toccata in D minor, I am also thankful that they are getting a chance to be at the bench! It certainly is a wonderful thing to pursue!
Man alive! I was in Kaohsiung for a month and a half and never even thought about trying to see things like this. What a privilege to play this fine instrument. It makes me wish I'd learned more Chinese and gone back. Ah well I'm glad they got to enjoy it. Also, Eddy really is an amazing musician. In spite of a few mistakes this was a very interesting performance of a very overplayed piece.
It's always great to discover less common intsruments more closely.. Especially baroque instruments, they just hit different.
The organ is probably the most underrated instrument ever!
Who dares to underestimate the pipe organs??
I guess it is just not remembered because of how expensive and hard it is to have access to it. But I guess there will be no one not agreeing it is a dope instrument.
I know, right!?
Sure, since it's the King of instruments :)
@@andrebenites9919 Well, almost every church in every village has a pipe organ, so it's very ease to have access to an organ. Actually, easier than that you first have to buy a recorder, violin or whatever.
@@RalphLooij Well, you're talking about churchs so obviously it really depends on where you live. As in country.
Fun fact: the saying “Pulling out all the stops” comes from the organ.
I am a pipe organist! I have wanted to see your thoughts on the king of instruments!!!
What an interesting experience! You both are very talented musicians indeed being able to play this well the first time.
然後余老師真有氣質！
0:38 im just curious but why did she play it very different? ive never heard such phrasing for this piece
now we wait for them to learn the acoustic guitar-
I love it when they learn new instruments! You can just see how happy they are as musicians.
The amount of EMOTIONAL DAMAGE they have gone through to reach where they are now. DAMN
this thumbnail is exceptionally beautiful
