• 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.

I bet that had the organbuilder voiced the 64' on 10" wind pressure, the effect would have been all the more stunning.

I must say - while the contratrombone is noisy it's not quite as overpowering as it's nearest neighbour (32' trombone). However, you can destinctly hear it's rattle without doubt.

That's Toccata & Fugue! I'm trying to learn this piece myself and enjoy
every minute of playing it. Especially around early fall. After New Years,
I will be getting back on it with my little wicks organ at the church.
I don't play it that well yet like in your video that you have on the web
page that I'm listening to right now. I love it! That is a beautiful
organ in the video. It looks like a musical castle or palace.

Judy - the organ is indeed very beautiful, and enormous. In fact when people enter the town hall they often gasp as it's just so wide (and tall).

Contra, you don't know it but I'm a big fan of the pipe organ and I
play one myself. I just marvel at the little one at my church because
I can look up at it while I play this pretty instrument and talk to it.
You see what it looks like under my name. When I'm having a hard time
learning a song or piece on it I can almost hear it laugh. When I've
done a good job with a piece I can almost hear it smile and I smile
back saying "We did it!" It's become my big friend is right in the heart of
the church I belong to. Yes I'm an enthusist which is a better word.
I'm really in awe when I see a pipe organ like the one you just showed
in the video. Thanks for having it.:) I would like to hear what you say
about that!
