• 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.

Cannongate Kirk, Edinburgh Organ

The second Royal Wedding for Britain in this year was held recently at the Cannongate Kirk in Edinburgh when the Grand Daughter of Queen Elizabeth was married. Not the least among its distinctions the historic Cannongate Kirk is home to the only Frobenius Organ in Scotland and the 1,000 instrument built by that renowned company.

Here is a brief clip of the organ


And a link to a picture of the organ from the Frobenious web site

I love the Frobenius Organs. There is one in a church in Cambridge, Massachusetts, about 100 miles from where I live. The sound is so pure and clear you can almost see the icicles hanging from the pipes when it is being played.

Played a Frobenius at Jørlunde Kirke in Denmark the summer of 2010 - the same organ Frederik designed and recently cut a double CD on. A delight to play!

Thanks for posting this clip, Rob ... excellent organ in wonderful acoustics ... and the organist is great, too.
