Check out those keys. They're guilt-edged. Who makes guilt-edged keys?!
And check out the rest of the organ too... looks pretty amazing, eh? And
the guy himself; he looks like a funderal director.
Pitty the registration is so flat, eh? (And is it me, or is this thing
tuned weirdly?)
Also love the key the video and sound are out of sync...

Bach's Toccata&Fugue is so often used that it has become basically a
cliche, but it still manages to be majestic and impressive, especially
when played by a professional on a real, high-quality church organ.

It's great when it's played well, but I'm having trouble tracking down a
copy being played well on YouTube.
I should probably point out that *I* can't play it very well either.
Then again, I don't have a 4-manual church organ to play it with. ;-)

Anyone trying to spend lots of money on something as a business expense, or
trying to "hide" money from others. Of course, we don't tax churches in the
USA, so I'm just being cynical maybe.

I think I saw that guy perform in the USA once. He talks like that too. (I
was sitting pretty far back, so I might be misrecognising him.)

Could be a limitation of the recording.

I'm not sure how you can tell with a pipe organ, considering the pipes take
a while to start sounding. But HD youtube video is always out of sync with
the sound. Perhaps they're converting the sound at 29.97fps and the video at
30fps, which might also explain why it sounds flat.

I ordered stamps from Zazzle that read "Place Stamp Here".

At Bach's time, tuning was not quite like the one employed today. Perhaps an
"authentic performance"?

Hell yes!
I'm going to go out on a limb and say French?

No, I'm pretty sure the *temperment* is unchaged. More like the organ is
just tuned flat. (Apparently many historic organs are...)

Apparently many historic organs are tuned flatter than modern ones.

Depends which stops. The bass pipes in particular tend to be slow to
speak, as do low diapasons. But reed pipes tend to speak very promptly.
Look closer: I think the sound *preceeds* the keys, rather than lagging
it. Which, obviously, is physically impossible...

Maybe.

Not with a quantum organ ;)

It's probably system-dependant. In my computer if there's any lag, it's
the sound lagging behind. Barely.

Don't be stupid. If it was a *quantum* organ, it would be completely
silent until somebody goes into the room to listen to it - otherwise it
would just be a superposition of all possible notes...
