• 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.

So today I decided to go up to the local Anglican Churches (both on the same grounds, the old 1847 church is not used often, but is used every two weeks by a Taiwanese (I think) congregation)

Anyway, the pictures!

What beautiful photos - thank you so much for sharing. Are you able to provide sounds bytes of either instrument?

Just love the window photo in the new church, so beautiful.

Thank you for commenting!
I have no recordings of either organ at this point, but I may be able to record something as the year goes on. Stay tuned! (pun fully intended)

That's a sweet little organ at the old church. I imagine it's quite unusual for such a small instrument to have a tremulant.

Not wishing to go off topic excuse me if I add a few pics.
When I lived in the UK my local Church had a bellows operated Organ which was always worked by a choir boy and was a deterrent for any wayward choir boy. I recently tried to get some info and pics of the Organ but they had ditched it years ago and installed a new one, what a great shame, but I can show you the Church.
Built 1771-3, St Bartholomew’s was the Chapel of the Lord Craven the cost was
£5000 and is situated at Binley, Coventry
