• 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.

the big Willis III at Liverpool Cathedral being restored...

Hi everybody.

I'm just getting the word out that the Anglican Cathedral at Liverpool is restoring their Grand Organ and are still raising funds to continue the work.

I just sent a contribution along with an Adopt a Pipe application. For those of you who are interested, or if you know someone who might be interested, here's a web page: liverpoolcathedral.org.uk/about/the-organ.aspx

Click "Adopt an organ pipe!" found in the right-hand column. This is pdf, so you'll be asked if you want to open it (bottom of screen). Application is printable.

The address is included on the app, but I added 20 St. James Road for safe measure.

Thank you for the news and the most informative website. I have several recordings of the Liverpool instrument and it is a good one and well worth restoring. Adopting a pipe would make a great christmas Gift to yourself and the World.

Sadly the link you provided didn't work for me, however I nagivated to the root directory and found the link. Love the template for making your own pipe from cardboard, did you lot see that? David xo

I did see the template. That's a pretty original idea. So you were able to find the application after all?

I double-checked the link and I had no trouble getting to the app. One might have trouble if the hyphen between the words "the" and "organ" is left out, or putting .com instead of .org
