An unedited video showing the first playing of the restored Grand Cornet stop at Boardwalk Hall. The stop had been disconnected for almost a decade due to leather failure in the chest.
What a impressive sound! It'll go great with the rest of the organ. Thanks for sharing, Chris.

Sounds amazing Chris!! Very powerful mixture. It will be interesting to hear it in action with the rest of the organ.😄👍👍 *EDIT:* You guys have a huge advantage over the people that built this built this organ, in that you can live test each stop remotely via a keyboard and I'm guessing bluetooth/MIDI?, from anywhere in the hall!😉 Can you imagine doing a Hauptwerk sample set of this monster??!! You'd probably need 3 TB. of RAM, and a 64 core Xeon CPU, and a couple hours to fully load it! Sample size of 2.5TB.🤣 Sound system: *Everything you've got plus rotary sub-woofers for the 64ft. stops!* It would be glorious!!😍

Yes being able to listen in the room is a revelation. Sampling this organ would result in the most crashing disappointment you could imagine, as the pipes up close sound like pretty much anything else just louder. You'd be better off sampling a Moller down the street and messing with it in software.

@@cnagorka There'd definitely have to be some major "space work" involved for it to be any good. Capturing some impulse responses in the hall with really good audio equipment and building a acoustic model from that data where you could place virtual "listeners".

@@jiso5232 LOL! I know... I was kind of waiting to see if anyone would catch that in my 'theoretical projection'.😂 I'm currently running Hauptwerk on an HP Z800 workstation with dual 3.07 ghz. 6 core Xeons, and 64gb. of RAM, so 24 cores total with hyperthreading... a small portion of what would be required for something as massive as the Midmer-Losh.😉

Of course you would have to sample the room as well, because close up a lot of the stops sound hideous and the room is what does the magic.

@@cnagorka with programs like hauptwerk (I hope i spelled that correctly) you sample the note in both the room and in the organ chamber in order to get the best sound quality possible from the program The acoustics of the room are then calculated from the difference between the two recordings I would be overjoyed just to have a sample set of the boardwalk hall organs pedal stops, strings, and reeds

Work was started March 31, and is almost done. There are still some pipes to trim and a few chest problems to work out. But considering it only started playing Monday and today is Thursday that's pretty darned good.

Amazing achievement, Chris. Tuning sounds amazing. Since this rank is being played by a remote MIDI keyboard in this video, does that mean that Grand Cornet XI has been rewired and is now controlled by Opus II, and not the original relay? I would imagine Opus II would have made tuning more convenient.

it is in no sense a Cornet by the scalings and voicing, it is a big Sesquialtera with narrow mixture scalings, whereas Cornet is of very wide fluty scaled and voiced pipes, even in the most large sense of the word for symphonic organs

There are wide and narrow scaled pipes in the stop, and depending on whose book you read it is indeed a Cornet.
