• 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.

It must have been freezing in that church from the way he's dressed.

Interesting, but I still don't see how you can do much with one manual. It sure wouldn't work with most of the organ repertoire.

Sounds like an hybrid pipe/theater organ with those bells and drums....
Could be an ancester of theaters ?..it's 1888 though
Ah, the 19th century...

I think there are much works for one manual organ and some 13 to 20 pedal "sticks"
Frescobaldi, Praetorius, a lot of manualiter Baroque works of Bux & Bach...
Also the majority of old Italians and Spanish had that split keyboard function to act like 2man, with little registration options of course.
