• 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.

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

Good question, D P Werner,

I haven't the slightest idea ... I ran a quick search on Martin Doering's database (requires paid subscription to access) and didn't find anything - same with a google search ... but not intrigued about knowing for myself, too.

I would imagine there are electronics/digitals ... practicing the notes can be done on practically anything that has multiple manuals and a full pedalboard.

Golly gee, organs in Saudi Arabia - unless its in a concert hall, music school, or someone's home or a Church, it sounds like they'll be out of luck.
