• 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.

Used Organs

Hi all!!!!

I have been recently informed that in UK some churches close and give theri organs for nothing or for very little charge! Does anyone know something about that? Is there any site that can inform?

I did hear of one in the south about 6 months ago, and it had two organs up for grabs. I did try to persuade my church to bid for some of it (with a view to expansion of the organ) but they simply didn't have the money. I only heard about it from a neighbour who was engaged as one of the contractors on the developement. I don't think it happens that often, and I have no idea how or where to get information. I imagine it comes down to local knowledge...

Hi Diaphone Profundo64,

There was this thread about a UK pipe organ beinf offered for sale. It was referencing this eBay Posting which indicates the bidding is closed ... but being as how the ad is still active on eBay, one might conclude that it is still available.

Hope this helps :tiphat:
