Now that’s what I call even more niche baroque humour 12 May 2021
In this video, OAE Principal Artist John Butt introduces us to the spectacular bespoke chamber organ, built to recreate the sounds of Handel's era. The jokes about organs sometimes write themselves and our YouTube audience certainly did not disappoint. Here is a round-up of some of our favourite niche baroque humour for Handel's organ.
"I don’t know why it needs to be electric, there’s definitely room to squeeze a little orphan inside to operate some bellows."
"Our Principal Artist John Butt introduces. . . Handel's Organ" That just seems like the title of a whole different adult movie right there.

"This is very close to what Handel himself would have…Handled! Badum tss."
"I would like to handle the handles that Haendel had handled."
Mark Hewitt
"I can’t handle the jokes already, enough is enough! "
"Wow…you really pulled out all the stops for this one."
Rose Juliette
"Seems relatively small. Looks like I can Handel it."
