You are welcome ;-)

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.

The remark about the explosion in a pencil box is reminiscent of what an art critic once said about one of Picasso's paintings at a Paris exhibition: "It looks like an explosion in a shingle factory".
I haven't seen the Disney organ in person, but from pictures, I keep wondering how those pipes stay there. There must be some hidden wire work or something that keeps them from falling over.
Not far from there is First Congregational, which has an organ that can just about blow you out of your seat. And the pipes up in the gallery look far more stable!! The L.A. area has a number of other notable instruments.

Added to which, the façade surely cannot provide any unifying or focusing effect to the sound of this instrument.
Having said this, there is at least one truly musical and aurally stunning Rieger instrument, which was revoiced by Glatter-Götz a few years ago - that at Bamberg Cathedral (Germany). I had the pleasure of playing for a Mass here, a few years ago. I found the instrument to be quite stunning, with many beautiful quieter ranks, in addition to a majestic yet clear tutti.
