• 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.

I am back, sorry for such a long time to write, I was previously bonh-101,
but I had to re-register so now I am bonh-102.
I said I was going to tell what I saw here in Italy.
Actually the Vatican!
I went to the St.Peters Basillica and the Sistine Chapel and I have pictures
of the organ from the sistine chapel.
I saw THREE organs today and got to listen to one of them. The one in the sistine is a "cabinet" organ? It looked like a big box until I got close to it.

I got to sit directly next to it, I looked at the specifications and it had a mutation, a Rohrflote, A larigot, 2 Subbass at 16', the others I didn't know.
The other organs were in the basillica and I couldn't take pics of them, but you could see the pipes, and the console,

It's late so I will write later,

Bonh-102:grin:
