Hi, I'm a newbie to this world and not a musician either. My wife is an organist and needs a practice organ with 32 note pedalboard. That's where I come in, as cabinet maker and electrician.

Hi mostyndavies and welcome aboard! Like you, I am not a musician, but have found the members of this forum to be--musician and non-musician alike--some of the most interesting and helpful people I have ever had the privilege of coming across.I am sure that as you start posting, you will be of the same opinion.
Anyway, where are you from and what type of music by which artists do you enjoy? Look forward to seeing your first post and to hear from you soon.
Whatever floats your boat![]()

Welcome Mostyn. I am assuming your wife is a classical organist as she requires 32 note pedal organ. I might suggest contacting local churches as many will give practice time for usually a small fee..some free; local music store, or if able to purchase a unit is an option also a virtual instrument( using computer as organ guts and adding keyboards through MIDI set-up) ) might be of interest as you are an electrician and cabinet maker. Where are you located? Good Luck.

Hello Mostyn and welcome to the forum. You have found a good forum here and I trust you will make many friends

Welcome aboard, Mostyn.
If you are in the US, contact your local American Guild of Organists Chapter ... you can find a chapter by using the AGO Regions site.
Local churches are often happy to have their pipe organs used for practicing students ... some may ask for a 'donation' to the coffers for the privilege, but it's worth a try.

Hi guys, I'm a newbie and not even a musician. Just interested in what Virtual Organs are all about. I've made up some 'Virtual Organs for Dummies' webpages to add interest to a local organist association website. It covers the absolute basics of getting Miditzer and Hauptwerk's St Anne's Moseley to work. You can see it on www.pdoa.co.uk/virtualorgans.html and I'm very much open to constructive criticism and help.

Hallo Mostyn
welcome aboard !
Very interesting site you set up, indeed. I believe helps a lot of "outside" people to understand the term virtual organ and what we are doing here....
he he... I liked that "a Wurlizer in the kitchen " ! funny, but this is the way it is, as a matter of speakin'...
I'll explore it in more depth in some days, too busy to finnish my latest disposition for jOrgan (a Bohemian organ emulation...).
Be aware that beside Hauptwerk and Midiger, there are also GrandOrgue and jOrgan in the game, with lots of free organ sets....
If you need any assistance send posts !!
All company here will help , I'm shure of that.
Best regards
and
cheers
