• 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.

    Many kind regards

Pipe organ construction

Magrot

New member
I'm looking for a German/English speaking expert on organs and their construction to help with the terminology of a book I'm translating from German into English. It concerns the prototype of a new kind of "expressive" organ.

Is there anyone out there who might be able to help?

If so, please send me an email to: [email protected]

I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello and welcome Magrot :)

Might I suggest you post your questions in the pipe organ forum here as well, seeing as how they`re pipe organ-related? You might get more responses from organists there. :)

welcome to Magle International Music Forums, Magrot! :tiphat:

I hope to see you around. As rojo mentioned this post really belongs in the pipe organ forum, so I'm moving it there.

Kind regards :)

Organ Dictionary

You might want to consider adding Wilfried Praet's Organ Dictionary to your library. It's a very extensive multi-language dictionary for the translation of organ terms.

Messy website, but it's all there.
