• 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.

What a pretty church. Is that you playing the organ? It sounds nice
and seems to look the size of the one at my church. It looks kind of
like the Methodist one I go to with the exception of carpet. Here's
what the Methodist church looks like where I go on the inside.

Beautiful church, David ...

Beautiful organ, too - was that Peter Jewkes practicing?
That's got to be a little unnerving always practicing to an audience ... hopefully he can get some time in a the organ when the building is closed to visitors.

If someone comes and visit the United Methodist Church in my picture,
the public is allowed to visit the sanctuary there. Our church is open.
The only problem is we don't have a visitor's guide. Everyone is welcome
to see this beautiful building and take a look at our history.

Lars - no, not Peter at the organ, his practice time is Saturday afternoons from 1 to 5pm, when the church is bolted shut. Monday to Friday it's open from 7am to 6pm for "daily prayer and meditation". We've had bronze candle sticks stolen in the past so now we put our plain, boring wooden ones. The streetpeople are also fond of deficating outside the church, it's part of having a church in the heart of a big city.
