The pipe organ is like the kraken creature of musical instruments.

[Thor]

Something people need to understand is that the camera equipment does NOT do the amount of bass an organ has any kind of justice at all. Nearly all of the lowish-mid to low bass notes, when listening to this piece in a place like this or even a church with a proper organ, will vibrate your chest. So with a proper organ and the right piece, its not just about listening to to it, its about actually feeling the piece being played because you can feel the notes in the air.

Eddy's whole body language seemed to change after their Laoshi told him to play it like he would in a violin. Both were very impressive.

As a Mandarin-speaking organist, I can say that the teacher was good. She was affirming, patient and explained well.

Violinist: I play the violin.
Guitarist: I play the guitar.
Trombonist: I play the trombone.
Organist: I play A BUILDING.

I could listen to her talk about the organ for hours. What an impressive instrument and what a passionate performer.

[vincek]

As an organist myself, I've been waiting for this video for years!

[shaetane]

The organ is such an intimidating instrument to play, I tried it once and the video REALLY doesn't do justice to how the sound completely envelops you and the basses vibrate in your chest! The *entire* room, however big, is just inundated with sound reverberating everywhere for each key you press. The one I tried was like 1/10 the size of this one too, I can't fathom how it would've felt for them! Try to imagine the ENTIRE gigantic hall they are in resonating, the truth is that you are literally inside the instrument.

“If the teacher thinks you’re better she makes you work harder” HA! Made me laugh so hard. If I know my students can do better I’m definitely more picky.

[hbaratta]

Not as silly and chaotic as the other "learn how to play" videos, but this impressive organ garners a bit more respect, don't you think? I'm glad this one was serious and they could show their keyboard skills, since we all know they can both play piano. Enjoyed this a lot.

[tttITA]

I mean, they seem so focused in this video. It makes for a more educational experience than the more chaotic videos, I think.

[sabrinai]

That organ is sooo epic! So is the organist... And of course Twoset! Thank you for uploading epic content as you go!

[dpainter]

Eddy's expression of awe as he played those last chords was priceless. It said what anyone who's heard an organ live feels.

[vilhelm]

She's absolutely correct when she says that every pause and every space is important. In the organ masterclass I attend, seemingly half the time is dedicated to talking about spaces and pauses and breaths.

As an organist myself i love the organ content on this channel!
And also a note to all non-organists here: no recording can give you the majesty, and unbelivable might and the feeling that the 're' in this piece on tutti causes: ground is shaking, your whole body is shivering, and the sound comming from different directions, different colours of the sound comming from separate directions, its like playing on orchestra but louder and with more might. You could see the smile of excitement appearing on Brett's and Eddy's faces :D
No wonder organs were mainly church instruments; in great cathedrals (like Notre Dame) the sound of organs could quite literaly make you feel like in god's presence. Organ is simply the best instrument in the world

[sabrinai]

Really amazed by Brett's skills😳 he played the organ so well after such a short time!

[andybrown]

You two took the organ very well. Most beginners can barely manage the pedals after an hour and you guys took it instinctively. The only problem is you didn’t go over registration (stops and sounds) but I can’t blame you, that would add a whole hour to the video.

Musicians: toccata and fugue
Nonmusicians: v a m p i r e m u s i c

[annepatterson]

As an organist, I could give some touching testimony to the beauty of the instrument, but the organ speaks for itself. I want to discuss JUST HOW RELATABLE THE “CARELESS FOOT” COUNT WAS! I’ve been playing organ for the church for four years now, and my foot STILL wanders too close to the pedalboard as I’m getting the organ registration and sheet music for the next piece ready!

[Paul_Lane]

Bret did a great job, I was surprised as he doesn’t show his keyboard skills on the channel often. The pipe organ is my favorite instrument and is not shown enough. It’s an instrument you not only hear but feel as it vibrates through you with each note especially the lower registers. Great video guys!
