• 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.

Analogicus! It's nice to see that your reply here is enjoyable and sophisticated,
because when I see your name I get anxious, even a little perturbed, and that's why I'm looking here.
In the early 80's I had a Yahama rack-mount echo unit, all analog.
It was a good used deal from a friend who knew I would use it onstage, not in his studio.
I was filling in for a family country band, playing in a Legion Hall in Fonthill,
when it was stolen as I was packing up to go. It turned out that one of the hard rock nephews took it.
I never got it back.
My new micro-digital, half-rack BOSS echo units might do more, but that Yamaha had a nicer sound.
And the knobs weren't so small, easier to use onstage, set up on top of my amp.

I could comment about the organ and organist here,
but I'll just say I'm still not sure if I had one keyboard,
would it have wood-grain keys or ivory, I'm still not sure.
I don't think I've ever seen an all wood-grain piano or keyboard.
