• 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.

We strive to make this a friendly and informative forum for anyone interested in pipe organs and organ music.

Calvary Church is in Charlotte, NC (visit website), and the organ is apparently a Moller, which would mean pre-transfer-to-Oregon.

It would be interesting to know how many four and five deckers have come into existence since the end of W. W. II. At one time, the website for First-Plymouth (Lincoln, NE) stated that their four-manual, around 1932-3, was the only four-manual west of the Mississippi except for the one in the Mormon Tabernacle (at that time). Not true -- both Bovard Auditorium at USC and First Congregational of L. A. had four-manuals around that time. The one at USC was long ago dismantled, and I won't go into what has happened FCCLA!! If you have never been to that church, trust me, it's an eye-opener, to say nothing of what it does to your ears.

I realize that any organ around probably has some sort of history, when it was built, etc., but it would take an encyclopedia to go through all that has happened in this country alone in the last 60 or so years.
