Bandrika Studios Tour With Nathan Barr

- Bandrika, it’s the fictional country where Alfred Hitchcock’s The Lady Vanishes is set, and it's also an incredible state-of-the art studio that is home to some of the most unique instruments from all over the world. Its owner is composer Nathan Barr, the talented composer behind scores such as The House With A Clock In Its Walls, True Blood, The Americans, Cabin Fever, Hostel, Sneaky Pete, The Son, and many more. Within Bandrika’s walls you’ll find instruments such as a dismantled piano, a glass harmonica, and even an instrument made of a human femur.
The centerpiece of the studio is Barr’s newly acquired and meticulously restored 1928 Wurlitzer Theatre Organ that lived at 20th Century Fox Studios from 1928 to 1998. The organ has been used by composers such as John Williams, Bernard Herrmann, Jerry Goldsmith, Alex North and more. You heard this organ in Home Alone, and you heard it in The Sound Of Music where Maria gets married in the church. The organ carries an immense history of filmmaking and music behind it.
Barr purchased the organ from Fox and spent years building his studio around it. The organ is now married to the technologies of today, bringing the past into the present.
Nathan Barr invited Film.Music.Media for this exclusive tour through Bandrika Studios as we explore some of the many instruments that are part of Barr’s collection, including a detailed walkthrough of the Wurlitzer. Sit back, relax, and let Nathan take you into his world where he creates new stories every day.

So inspiring, thanks Nate!!
Thank you for saving this stuff, we saved the Barton console from the Majestic theater in Grand Rapids Michigan, the 7 1/2 HP blower went to the dump before it could be picked up, most of the pipework and chests were thrown away, we built the organ back to 13 ranks and added two samplers. We had a Kinetic blower that I ran at 2200 RPM with a five horse motor and got 18 inches out. I am now 83 years old and have a nice Techniques organ and a big Hammond. Years ago most of the organ went to a residence in Nashville, we had a nice 8 foot posthorn mitered to 4 feet that went to the Polk Theater, in Lakeland, Florida. Played organ in most of the rinks in the area, later cocktail lounges, other places, just perform for my wife now.......Keep on Keepin' on, Good video.... Ken B.
Thanks for a great video, Nathan, and your virtual hospitality. Nice to see some of my friend Mark Herman's other work. He installed and voiced an organ for us last year. I wouldn't use anyone else.
Amazing studio. Awesome theater organ! Would love to get my hands on it! 👍🏼🙏🏼 thanks for sharing this!!
Wonderful collection Nathan! I have been involved with theatre pipe organs since 1962, and was recently responsible for what became the largest theatre pipe organ in Ohio. This "lived" in a fabulous home along with many self-playing instruments as you showed, but you clearly have some rare gems. Mark actually made a recording on that Wurlitzer, too. Among the various RUclips "tours of the organ" out there, yours was simply the best. Excellent understanding and presentation of the pieces parts and how things work. And it was extremely thrilling to see this Wurlitzer in such beautiful and historically correct (with updated exceptions of course)! Only disappointment was not hearing a complete recorded selection on this wonderful Wurlitzer. Thank you for posting this.
Wow! You've got all the best toys!!😁 So glad you were able to preserve and reconstruct the Fox Studios organ. Those old Wurlitzers are getting fewer and further between, as they get destroyed in the name of 'progress'. Fantastic collection of musical oddities for sure! Thanks for the tour!!😍😉🎵🎶🎵👍👍
coolest place on earth..
I’d loooove to call Mark Herman MY friend too... ;-) lol ha
Great tour, thanks for sharing.
I knew a man who worked at Fox but I never went to see this instrument. Ken Chrome won the bid to purchase thus instrument but resold it to Bill Schutz. I am happy that it is intact.
Wow, such an incredible studio. Thanks for the video!
What an installation perfect for a studio.
As a former organ student (long time ago) I'd love to try out the organ someday... one can dream ^^
It is so unreal)
