Wow !!!! I love it. I haven't seen trilled foot pedals before. I didn't even know you play piano/organ before. Makes me want to take up piano again.

Thanks. Making music is a big part of my life.

That was great, Bach would have approved. What organ are you playing. The registration was perfect for the piece.

I enjoyed listening to it too. Bach is one of my favorite composers.

It's the Casavant Frères that I play on.

Thank-you.

That was a wonderful performance. The pedal trills are amazing, so high on the pedalboard. And the right hand stretches look very tricky. Very nice!

What is "registration"?

[budmassey.livejournal.com]

OK, I'm impressed. WOW!

Registration is the term given to the combination of pipe voices (e.g. strings, trumpet, tuba, etc.) that is being used for a particular piece of music. The voices are selected with a mechanism called a stop. On the organ in the video, it is the row of tabs across the top right above the keyboard.

I was very fortunate to have him play the instrument I am building when it was still parts on the table, so to speak. I am waiting for him to make it back to the bay area so he can have a go again.

Thanks. It's moderately difficult.
