• 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.

We strive to make this a friendly and informative forum for anyone interested in pipe organs and organ music.

A nice organ ... but certainly the organ we hear in the clip is lots larger than the 5 rk specs given (?) Wonder if a recording of this organ is available - would be nice to hear this particular gem.

Although I somewhat agree with the aesthetics about mirrors and such attachments to organ consoles, without those 'devices', especially in an active environment, those are necessary for the organist to keep in eye contact with conductors and clergy.

Well, there's f.i. a 16ft Bourdon pedal available .... I think the recording makes it sound bigger and more aggressive, due to 'oversteering'.

Thanks for posting, CT!
