• 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

My New VPO Project...

I just purchased this console to replace the two-manual Moller that received minor flood damage. As far as I can tell, this console was made in 1953 by the American Organ Company and upgraded in the mid-'90s with Peterson components. Since it has MIDI, it should not be a problem converting it to VPO. The hard work will be identifying an appropriate sample set. Most of the stops are not labeled. So I practically have a blank slate from which to work. Your suggestions for filling in the blanks are most welcome.

Love the "Gigout" ... and that organ in general. Hard to believe it was way back 6+ years ago being there. Still very fond memories of playing that instrument, even if the lady didn't appreciate the music, I'm sure that the other people wandering in and out did enjoy hearing the organ.

I used to help Sean the Organist as a 'page turner' some 15 years ago and the Gift shop women were moaning about it then:)
