• 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.

Going to be near Houston soon. Anyone know which notable pipe organs in the vicinity can be accessed/heard easily?

Hi Nikam,

I know that there are several notable pipe organs in the Houston area. I have played one of those, for the wedding of my son-in-law in January 2011. Memorial Drive United Methodist (http://www.mdumc.org/) where Stephen Distad is the organist.

Visser, a Houston builder installed it in 2007 and has 59 or so ranks. The black rocker tabs above the Swell at the left are for the Antiphonal division, which wasn't operational then I was there in 2011.

My avatar at left is of me sitting at that console :)

What a superbly clear photograph Kh. Thank you. Have just been browsing the MDUMC site; incredible size of collective congregation there, a mere 1300, with 6600 on the electoral roll! Massively dwarfs our 25-30 on a Sunday. :)
