• 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.

Hammond church organ

Does anybody know about the Hammond 825 church organ model? I believe it is from 1991. If so, could you please tell me anything you know about it? Is there a good website for this? What are the pipe organ stops like?

The only useful info I could find on this was in an Ebay listing, which you can view at your liesure from this Google Page .

If one wants to hear what a pipe organ stop sounds like, go listen to a real pipe organ. No amount of electronics or computers can duplicate that sound - although some do come close.

Krummhorn ... whilst I agree, I recently heard a Makin organ and really, couldn't tell the different. Yes, there is a sense of massiveness that only pipes and wind can deliver ...

Thanks for the links.. very good sounding organ I would say. I have always been Partial to Johannas( larger units) myself. I think with electronic organs that the installation of the instruments has the most to do with sounding the instrument. i.e. amplification, proper number of various speakers for ultimate sound production etc. etc. I aways compare it to the speakers in your computer verses an external set with far better sound.
