I ran across this link while looking for something else and found it quite interesting. These are some of the strangest musical instruments I've seen both modern (relatively) and ancient. Several...

The politics of dealing with entrenched church musicians can be most frustrating. Often the more incompetent they are the more entrenched they become too. In my own church I'm so fed up with the...

404. That’s an error.

The requested URL was not found on this server. That’s all we know.

The gentleman in this article, Daryl Robinson, has several youtube videos posted. I reviewed a half dozen or so made in churches of various denominations around the Houston area. Without question...

For what the church is willing to throw away on repairs for the old Allen, (probably less) you should be able to find a pretty decent organ provided you're willing to haul and set it up yourself. ...

I know what I would do if it was mine, but what does your organist say about it? A bit more information about the church would also be useful. Size of the building and congregation? Types of music...

Both feet except on a Hammond where you use the right foot for the "gas".

You've got more gadgets and gizmos hooked up than a moon lander. I'm sure there's a purpose to all that, and you're going to share it with us, but it looks like a trap, a spider web kind of trap. ...

I went back down to Sycamore Springs and got a look at the organ. It is the Barckhoff and it's in a non temperature controlled environment but is regularly used by various area churches during the...

Looks pretty nice but I'm getting ready to move. If it's still around in a few weeks, after things get settled down again, I might come have a look.

live365.com has stations devoted to other types of organ as well. This one seems to be all pipes: http://www.live365.com/stations/davidmlines Thanks for the tip.

The oldest pipe organ in Kansas is located in a little church about 15 miles from me. I haven't been inside to see it yet but you can bet I will. It appears to be well maintained. Anyone know what...

.......... and that's all I got to say about that.

You're asking the old Cadillac vs. Lincoln question. Both makers offer premier grade instruments that will keep you interested for years to come and drive you to distraction when a problem arises. ...

Time was short and, with this being Easter weekend, the odds were against you. I'm sure your Grandmother would be proud to know how hard you tried. Grandmothers are like that.

Not a big fan of bag pipes but I did find a couple videos on Youtube where the pipes and an organ were used together. The organ does help to soften the nasty nasal drone and makes the experience...

Lutheran, currently LCMS, but I'll never be happy there because they're too liberal. We would be back in the CLC tomorrow if they weren't so far away.

A 25 year old Rodgers analog isn't going to have much real world value. A few hundred dollars at best and that's if it's in perfect working order. It's pretty easy to get more than the value of the...

It doesn't sound like you're having much fun either. You might try breaking your practice sessions into smaller chunks of time. Spread them out over the course of your day, 20 minutes here, thirty...

I have a selection of hymn books from various church denominations and often practice sight reading by picking a book at random and playing the entire book over a weekend. The only way I know to...

Global warming, now more popularly called climate change because the warming died, is nothing more than an excuse for Algore to fly around the word telling people they should walk to work. Most...

Do you have any clue how one goes about ordering tickets? There isn't any info on her website except a list of the concert schedule.

I have a 25 note flat radial and 32 note concave radial, AGO standard, in the house. In my opinion the AGO standard is much easier to use once you move away from the center portion. Ideally I would...

Be aware, some of these smaller Allen organs have a non standard petal board. They are known as "princess petals" and both the key length and the key spacing are different than AGO standard. Some...
