Organ Video Clips from ‘YouTube’ website

The great thing about youtube is that there are thousands of videos being put up on a daily basis. Here are some recent uploads featuring mechanical organs: Draaiorgels… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4khd1zpHsYk&NR US Mechanical Music TV News Feature… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wu9EZJf1jrU Dutch Street Organ… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HYNGOTjlrc Another Dutch Street Organ… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SH8gJhvNlN0

I’ve just found a really unusual video; two Dutch street organs and a mobile Carillon all connected together and playing via midi. Certainly unusual, as quoting the website, “international contemporary composers of electronic and experimental music will explore the possibilities of these amazing instruments”. Nice to see street organs being at the cutting edge! However, listening to the music in the video, the arrangement and composition to my ears is abysmal! Almost as bad as modern art! This setup could be capable of producing something astonishing, yet in the clip we hear some drab chords and poorly used percussion! Anyway, see what you think… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gvbin6CviQ&NR And here’s a traditional roll-playing machine which looks like an organ crossed with a piano, plus plenty of percussion in there too (some form of Nickelodeon?)… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ztp8oRx_4Vg&NR

Here is an link to an video clip of an 73 key Verbeeck that I filmed at Rempstone Steam & Country 2006: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EV2dzZPRNFI Enjoy, Ben :D

And finally a beautiful little German fair organ – what a gorgeous sound from such a compact instrument… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FooUhlFIo8s Anyone know more about this Ruth organ? It looks and sounds like a model 33 - 52-keyless. I listened to one on a carousel in Waldkirch for some considetrable time at last year's festival. Regards, John
