• Welcome to the Pipe Organ Forum! This is a part of the open community Magle International Music Forums focused on pipe organs (also known as "church organs"), organists, organ music and related topics.

    This forum is intended to be a friendly place where technically advanced organists and beginners (or even non-organists) can feel comfortable having discussions and asking questions. We learn by reading and asking questions, and it is hoped that the beginners (or non-organists) will feel free to ask even the simplest questions, and that the more advanced organists will patiently answer these questions. On the other hand, we encourage complex, technical discussions of technique, music, organ-building, etc. The opinions and observations of a diverse group of people from around the world should prove to be interesting and stimulating to all of us.

    As pipe organ discussions can sometimes become lively, it should be pointed out that this is an open forum. Statements made here are the opinion of the poster, and not necessarily that of the forum itself, its administrator, or its moderators.

    In order to post a new topic - or reply to existing ones - you may join and become a member by clicking on Register New User. It's completely free and only requires a working email address (in order to confirm your registration - it will never be given away!). We strive to make this a friendly and informative forum for anyone interested in pipe organs and organ music.

    Many kind regards

Hi!

Increasingly philistines fail to appreciate the King of Instruments and lack of proper public appreciation of the organ in the UK makes people happy to throw out pipe organs and electronic manufacturers clock up pages on their websites of pipe organs that their commercial wares have displaced like Victorian safari trophy hunters.

A home is urgently required for an organ in Sussex, I believe to be GIVEN away:
Pedal Key action TP Stop action Compass-low C Compass-high f1 Keys 30
1 Bourdon 16
Choir Key action TP Stop action Compass-low C Compass-high g3 Keys 56
2 Lieblich Gedact 8 originally from Swell
3 Dulciana 8 originally from Great
4 Harmonic Flute 4 originally from Great
Great Key action TP Stop action Compass-low C Compass-high g3 Keys 56
5 Open Diapason 8
6 Rohr Flute 8
7 Principal 4 originally Harmonic Flute 4
8 Fifteenth 2 originally Dulciana 8 TC
Swell Key action TP Stop action Compass-low C Compass-high g3 Keys 56
9 Open Diapason 8 originally Lieblich Gedact 8

It is increasingly sad to read of the unpleasant demise of these wonderful instruments, cast aside by those who do not appreciate all the hard work, knowledge, and skill that it took to create these instruments.

I do hope this organ finds a new home ... a home that will appreciate it and nurture it for many years to come. Thank you for sharing this with us, David.

Or perhaps somebody on the mainland with the space.

Still seems to be a larger percentage of continental European organs in the UK, than British organs in continental Europe.
