• 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.

Young Timothy Coriddi - Talented Organist and Hauptwerk Designer

At age 13, Timothy Coriddi of the Rochester, NY area became a pipe organ enthusiast. Now, a mere10 years later, he is an amazing self-taught organist and Hauptwerk designer.

After becoming proficient at playing, Timothy wanted something better than the 3 manual Allen organ in his home. A couple years ago he set about converting the Allen to a Hauptwerk instrument. So far, he has selected and modified various samplings to create the sound of two distinct organs - the 1890 Cavaille-Coll in Saint-Ouen, Rouen, and the 1755 Silbermann in Dresden, Germany.

Here is a playlist of his YouTube videos. The videos from December 2013 to the present are Hauptwerk, while the previous ones are Allen - What an improvement!
