Floyd Tatum Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Cool! At the end of the video, there's a page of links to other organ videos, so I clicked on "The Largest Musical Instrument In The World". It's a huge pipe organ, and the guy plays Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor. Listen to that C#dim/D chord at 0:26 - imagine how intense that must sound in the actual hall (Atlantic City Convention Hall) ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some great sound VSTs instruments for the Mighty Wurlitzer organ sounds. Also, sound boards/chips and modules. A small company in Austria makes modules and sound boards for this company TTT-Sounds in England. https://www.ttt-sounds.com/ The owner is playing the sounds from his reedless midi accordion here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou_NC Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Wow, this is a blast from the past for me. Tico Tico was one of my first "study pieces" when I took organ lessons back in the 70's. I have to admit I couldn't get these kind of sounds out of my Wurlitzer rental spinet in my parent's living room, though. I also have to admit a slight bias to this version: 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobadohshe Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Hey I play that at Petco! It's been a couple years. I need to polish it up and play it again. 2 Quote Kawai C-60 Grand Piano : Hammond A-100 : Hammond SK2 : Yamaha CP4 : Yamaha Montage 7 : Moog Sub 37 My latest album: Funky organ, huge horn section https://bobbycressey.bandcamp.com/album/cali-native Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Emm Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 I love the smell of cheese. I also love hearing mega-organs playing anything BUT the expected. Its so different, it can take you to exotic new places. On Alice Cooper's "Pretties For You," the organ short "Titanic Overture" is a household favorite. It won't embed, but here's a link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aD9a_zBjTsI  Quote Absurdity, n.

Josh Paxton Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 "Tico Tico" was a regular feature of James Booker's solo piano repertoire, but here you can hear him rehearsing a 15-minute version of it with the Jerry Garcia Band, playing the last half or so on B3. Fair warning, even for a Booker-phile like me, a lot of it is pretty painful... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.F.N. Posted June 13 Author Share Posted June 13 Hehe, cool to hear about all Tico Tico experiences, that tune has really got some track records!! Quote "You live every day. You only die once."
