Wow! Sounding excellent! It’s interesting to hear different arrangements. My only problem with this is the percussion. As a nit-picky percussionist, the woodblock timing and dry shaker sound are somewhat offputting. Amazing to see an organ like this in such good condition.
Thank you! There's a reason for the bad woodblock timing, a lot of these arrangements were adapted from other scales and many of those use temple blocks. For some reason the woodblock was made to play those parts, with the result heard here! The shaker is fairly loud/overpowering but it doesn't detract too much overall.
That's what it usually goes by indeed, but I'm never too sure what to call it! Given most of the song consists of Die Mühle Im Schwarzwald, which isn't even a Liszt composition, who knows...
That sign "Time spent listening to mechanical organs is not deducted from your lifespan" what an interesting saying but totally true!
Yes, that made me chuckle... I told Ken I'd probably be immortal then as I listen to them all the time, lol!

@@MechanicalMusicTravels I always thought the woodblock on this organ sounds a bit like a cowbell it sounds so thin!
@@HarryYT22 Personally, I think it sounds more like claves. I have a cowbell, and they usually don’t sound like this.
@@ThatEverydayEnthusiast You've hit the nail on the head - it's more like a clave than a proper woodblock.
17:22 Liszt Bossanova.
Do you know who arranged this?
@@OttoVonChesterfield234 Tom Meijer, I believe.

@@MechanicalMusicTravels I believe it's this parody by the cocktail trio: ruclips.net/video/yAXsNwCq10Y/видео.html
Do you know did the arrangements of the Shadows songs?
Albert Decap.
