This organ sounds so wonderful I’m lucky to have one of these at my home town amusement park kenny wood on the carousel
That's fantastic, an absolutely wonderfull sounding organ.
Beautiful restoration! Another masterpiece saved for future generations!
Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from the USA.
Une vraie renaissance!
Ой, как здорово. Настоящая магия.
Cool organ I would love for you to play a March and other tunes more videos of this organ
The organ is now back to its owner who may publish more video one day or another !
Having built myself a 20 note busker organ, each pipe had an allocated hole punched in the paper roll. Given the large number of pipes in this organ, together with drums etc, there doesn't seem to be enough width in the roll, or holes. Are they arranged in linked ranks, several pipes sharing a row of holes..? Also can anyone tell me the name of the tune ? A waltz of some kind ? Thankyou...!
The music played is "The Skater's Waltz" by Emile Waldteufel.
Indeed several pipes play from one key. Exactly like in a church organ playing several stops together. I will add the disposition of the instrument in the description.
Good for you! The world needs more people like you!❤
This is a competition between Wurlitzer or this one I think we have a winner ⬆️ I can’t stop listening to this it’s sounds beautiful
The pipes of European and USA instrument are very different and Hooghuys had it's own style. The Bowers encyclopedia said :
“Most Belgian organ builders produced softly-voiced dance organ. Hooghuys was an exception. His instruments were very loudly voiced, were built as fairground organs, and were competitive with Gavioli, Marenghi, and other contemporary makes. In fact, the voicing of Hooghuys organs was generally louder than that of the other fairground organ makers.
(...)
Hooghuys organs were built well and of good materials. The tone of extant Hooghuys organs is powerful and rich. As such the Hooghuys instruments are prized collectors’ items today”
I can't agree more!
Feines Hobby, topp Leistung!
Quelle mise en scène 😆👍
"Skater Waltz"
Hi. I must admit to being very impressed by your obviously skill, and very envious of your workshop. A superb restoration, I just hope that the electric motor on the top is a temporary fixture, and eventually it will be hidden inside the case. Please don’t take this in anyway as criticism. It’s just my pedantic nature. Thanks Noel
Thanks to be envious of our workshop (it's not always so clean ). Indeed, the motor was actually change literally 2 weeks after this video.
I love how it just vomits out the music at the end lol
👍👍👍💥💥🌞🌞🌞❣❣❣❣
Does this use both pressure and vacuum?

Where the name of this song?! I love this song!
The title is “The Skaters Waltz”. This is a fantastic arrangement in my humble opinion and a lovely sounding organ.
@@brianindge8824 thank you!
I'm loving this! How did you acquire the training and skills to repair such an old and extremely complicated instrument?
We are originally trained in church organ, then we gradually specialized in mechanical musical instrument like this fair organ
