Flat out, drop dead AMAZING! And not just for flashy chops - but for registration, nuances, and all the subtle little things that separate a "player" from a Master. Bravo!!!
We were walking through a main square in Florence, Italy. A small orchestra was playing a lovely classical melody. Jokingly I said to my partner, "Not bad, but it ain't 'Tico Tico'". I swear, the next tune they played was - you guessed it!
BRAVO Maestro! Check out the other videos of Tico Tico on the WERSI, which are good in their own right, with the aid of MIDI and auto-everything, Then look at this video again knowing the sounds are produced only by air and the organist's hands and feet. No MIDI, no sequencer... just him and a thousand or more pipes. GLORIOUS!!!
Absolutely incredible performance from David he really gave that Organ a thorough work out no more cob webs in her now... left now Phew...I'm exhausted just watching him...
Takes me back to the (now defunct) Organ Grinder in Southeast Portland, Oregon. Pizza, salad, a game room, a Wurlitzer Organ about the shape and size of the one in the video...and at the conclusion of every half-hour set, a silent comedy from a pre-set 16mm Bell & Howell projector on a big screen. What awesome memories...
So much fun.... Ethel Smith began to hate Tico Tico as it somehow branded her to what she must of thought was "not legitimate music" .... I hope that in heaven She sees that Tico Tico is a wonderful piece that requires great skill and musicianship to which She had... Even the great virtuoso organist Virgil Fox commented on her technical expertise.... This man has the right idea.... HAVE FUN WITH IT.... Play it like its going out of style.....
I am very familiar with the Wurlitser at the Tower Ballroom in Blackpool. They have a very specific style and sound because they have strict tempo requirements. I like this one because it is free and unrestricted.
Showing off his sheer speed with this one, which unfortunately with the acoustics there the sound structure blurs the notes together resulting in a kind of fast mush. 25% slower may have made a dramatic increase in sound quality, but would have still been faster than many others can play this.
You do realize this is a song about a cuckoo in a clock....`tico tico ticks, tico tico tocks,` tico tico is the cuckoo in my clock. When he says Cuckoo it's time to woo. ........But not at that flipping speed.
The solenoids engaged by the keys act fast to open a path between the compressed air chamber and the pipe to be sounded, but the air getting into the pipe and beginning to vibrate is not as fast, and then there is the time delay from the pipes to the microphone.

There is nothing quite like the sound of a "mighty Wurlitzer." Even their electronic versions were pretty good - but Wurlitzer pipe organs just are DARNED hard to beat.
For the uninitiated... no electronics here, no speakers, no power amplifiers. All the percussions are the real thing, played from the console. All that magnificent sound is produced by wind blown pipes. The wind is supplied by a huge blower in the basement. And to top it all off, probably the finest theatre organist in the world is wailing on it!
Well... electrical solenoids for the percussion -- and to control the valves for the individual pipes. Direct mechanical linkages, like from the keys to the hammers in a piano, would be impractical. There are wires, lotsa wires. The stops also couldn't be tabs unless it was fly by wire, and relays.
@@SeekingTheLoveThatGodMeans7648 For the uninitiated the percussions are played by wind driven pneumatics as are the stop tabs and pipes themselves.. But of course an electrical replay system is there to control everything. Before the discovery of electricity organ consoles had to be attached to the organ because the keys were indeed mechanically connected to the pipes with wooden rods and levers called trackers. Remember, pipe organs have been around for over a thousand years. Organs builders are always looking to technology to improve function and reliability. What I meant, of course, is that there are no electronically produced sounds. All sounds are produced by real instruments and pipes.
These are volume/loudness controls ("swell" pedals). Like the accelerator on a car, the pedal gives more "gas" to certain sets of pipes when rocked forward, by adjusting how far open the louvers are on a shutter mechanism behind which the pipes live.
Blown Primary, you are entitled to your own opinion, but what you don't realize is that Tico Tico was Dave's Encore for that live performance. He had just played an entire concert, and was given a standing ovation. The tempo was perfect for the circumstances... I know... I was there... And BTW, during intermission, my wife's Grandmother asked him to play it... So this was actually Dave's way of fulfilling a request by a concert patron.
Amazing. No matter how flawlessly one does something on RUclips, there's always some no class, low class asshole like "Blown Primary" (what the hell kind of user name is that anyway?) who goes out of their way, and ours, to find something to bitch about. What's wrong, BP, your local quickie mart out of Keystone Light again?
How horrible! I am happy that these terrible instruments and their players are finished playing. It is a disgrace and nothing more. I love Tico Tico and played by a modern interpretation not in this mouse killing outdated way. Awful! It sounds like a steam-organ on a fair.
Steam organ? Fair organ? They sound great too. If these instruments and their players are finished playing, how come there are hundreds still playing and new people coming into it all the time?

He really gets into the music! Dave is amazing...

Carlton Olson aa
Masterful performance.
Just imagine the brain activity going on here!
He’s on auto-pilot ... it’s easy for him 🤯
Can’t get enough. Listen to this over and over. Congratulations on your gift! What talent!
no gift here. this is unending practice. A life devotion.
you can see clearly that he loves playing music,the fun radiates from him

Right on!
It gets no better than Dave Wickerham.
There's only one word for this performance... W O W !!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely incredible performance from David he really gave that Organ a thorough work out no more cob webs in her now... left now Phew...I'm exhausted just watching him...
Yet another superb Dave Wickerham performance!
Absolutely amazing performance... I only wish my high school auditorium had a theatre organ in it...🎶❤️🎶
It doesnt get any better..What a master...
OUTSTANDING! What joy to hear the mightiest of the instruments~!!! And what talent to make it roar so wildly~!!!
feel like riding a high speed carousel in an amusement park😊

Virginia Thomas (RIP) used to play this at NY Rangers games during each period’s skate around. This was back in the early 1960’s.
Fantastic!!!!
Isto é fantástico!!!
Just saw him today in Seattle. A masterful and wonderful concert from him!!
Great..........................................................Bill Bickley UK

He can make this electric organ talk, you can see he has the music in his body, he can’t keep still, Amazinggggggg 💪🏿😜💯❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🙏🙏🙏

I Wonder If The Addams Family Tango (From The Addams Family Vacation Movie) Was Inspired By This
Someone who hears the Bach in Tico Tico. Love to Mr. Wickerham. Thank you.
If only the shutter could respond as quickly at the expression pedals.
AMAZING! Had me laughing out loud and cheering all the way through! Bravo!
That was really fun!!
I don't miss Dave when he is in the area. Fantastic.
Just WOW!!!!
Wonderfull. congratulations!
Superb. Fantastic arrangement. Grand orchestral style.
I worked on this organ with Mr. Harry Ebert. I wonder who is taking car of it now?
Totally mesmerising, what a performance.
Marvellous. IMO this blows anything done on a Wersi or similar out of the water!
Elijah Bell oh yea consider there is also a slight delay. I'd be stumbling all over myself!
This guy is fantastic!
Showing off his sheer speed with this one, which unfortunately with the acoustics there the sound structure blurs the notes together resulting in a kind of fast mush. 25% slower may have made a dramatic increase in sound quality, but would have still been faster than many others can play this.

WOW.....
BRAVISSIMO ‼️
Ma grande🤩🤩🤩🤩👏👏👏👏👏👏
You do realize this is a song about a cuckoo in a clock....`tico tico ticks, tico tico tocks,` tico tico is the cuckoo in my clock. When he says Cuckoo it's time to woo. ........But not at that flipping speed.
the original was a madcap song about a sparrow that was stealing cornmeal
Should pick up the pace a little LOL
Loved it!!!
I wonder how many extra measures were incorporated in order to do all that hand registration lol. He absolutely tore that up!
Dave will once again be at Blackwood in Harrisville, Pa. on Sunday the 29, 2017. Audrey and I will be there.
Ethel Smith would be proud!
Beautyfull songs
¡ Guau !..¡ Brutal !..❤
Ethel Smith would crap herself if she saw this!!!!! This guy is AMAZING!!!!!!!!
There is a slight delay between the keys and the sound from the pipes
The solenoids engaged by the keys act fast to open a path between the compressed air chamber and the pipe to be sounded, but the air getting into the pipe and beginning to vibrate is not as fast, and then there is the time delay from the pipes to the microphone.

I think thats is'nt music. It's chaos
Can’t help but wonder how the great Ethel Smith would’ve sounded on an organ like this. Then again, she was a staunch Hammond organist.
There is nothing quite like the sound of a "mighty Wurlitzer." Even their electronic versions were pretty good - but Wurlitzer pipe organs just are DARNED hard to beat.
Ethel the greatest but this is good.
And Ethel played in high heels!!!!
Om het nog eens te horen is voor mij al een genot en de trots van mijn vader het waren zijn vaste nummers
bij het optreden gr Lies
Brill!
Dave usually accompanies our silent movies at Blackwood Arts in Harrisville, Pennsylvania.
Que maravilha o homem é um espetaculo, magnifico toca divinamente bem sou de Manaus Amazonas Brasil
Reginald Dixon was the king of the Wurlizer
wow
Love it!!!
Bien Felicitaciones más música popular
Just wonderful. that's all.
I have played one of these
Tico Tico is in a music book

What are the right pedels used for? I am new to this genre of 🎶 mudic.

Audrey, Ann, and I will be in Foxburg this Sunday.
who are Audrey, Ann and I? and why would total strangers care if you're going to be in Foxburg (where ever that is) this Sunday?
Wonderful
Such talent
Prof.dr.ron balm muiden
Good. God. Can he play it any faster? It's unmusical at that tempo. You're not Ethel, toots! There are WORDS to this song!
Who made you the authority on whats musical? Because it sounded pretty musical to me.
Blown Primary it was extremely musical. I liked it.
Blown Primary ... Theatre organ demands a certain amount of hyperbole and bravado. It's part of the style.

You cant even troll let alone comment on this moron.
Please tell me where I might find "a steam-organ on a fair" that sounds like this. I would travel ANYWHERE in the world to hear it!
Two words for you Gordon.. or whatever your real idiotic name is.. "whatever ASSHOLE"
This is truly amazing and a real feat of endurace. Otherwise lost for words.
Steam organ? Fair organ? They sound great too. If these instruments and their players are finished playing, how come there are hundreds still playing and new people coming into it all the time?
...he, he, he...
