While you are correct I have seen tuners/voicers do this. And I have a few reclaimed pipes (from the skip) at home that are just used for this. One is even cut through the mouth along the length to...

Maybe we should go back to make the church a public building? In 17-th century it was normal that the church was open and that people walked in and met each other there to have a chat. Sometimes the...

Some rather modern pieces? They often go well on uninspiring organs as they work on other bases as the typical organ sound buildup. Otherwise very old pieces could work as well if you have a good...

Good point, Admin. Only problem is that the few organs in concert halls I know are not in playable condition and the chance they ever will be again is close to zero. The only ones that are are those...

Don't know. If that is the reason they go to church it is a sad state of the church. If there is nothing else than an organ and the "grandeur" of the service that would get me to a church I think it...

De gustibus non disputandum est.

I feel a bit bad that after directing you here nobody replied with any ideas. Now I'm probably not the best one to post here as I'm very opiniated in my musical taste and ideas. Also I'm only going...

But my mom told me never to accept cookies from strange men. You're not going to tell me my mom was wrong, do you? :D

Are you basing this on the number of church organists? Because I do not have the feeling that organ classes have less attraction than 30 years ago. About the same number of people in them. But there...

Okay, battery powered was obvious but said you already had a housing I tought there would be a battery compartment already in so you knew the voltage. But I see now you are adapting something else....

I wouldn't go that way if you're not sure in electronics. Also, what is your input (microphone?), how much voltage do you have and what's the impedance of the speaker? All that is important in...

I would say it is all between your ears. What you make of it. I do not subscribe to the notion that music could be bad for me. Unless played to loud it can degrade your hearing. It can be of bad...

You might get more replies in the "Organ Music - Classical" section of the forum with this question. I'm not going to fill anything in as I'd like to know a bit more about the reason for the...

Again with the same disclaimer as previous post:

When you purchase a copy of sheet music you can play it as much as you like. But the edition (paper or electronic) itself is copyrighted and that...

Also there are some automated "detectors" running. If your piece is sufficiently close to a copyrighted performance then they could flag it as an infringment. In that case it is even more important...

Well, some posts will always come back and are relevant when they come back. Simply because after some time the info in them is stale or just not up to date anymore. And in those cases I think a new...

IIRC I once proposed to start a forum just about shoes so that we could ignore it more easily. But yes, I also had my share of them. On the other hand nobody forces you to actually read them.

From other comments I heard during the election, this was named as an important reason. I guess they also don't want to do this to one of the younger members as it doesn't look a fun job to me.

You can find wire but mostly it is in rather large spools and you have to be creative to find it in places you wouldn't look for it. Like florists (iron, brass, stainless all annealed), paper...

I wouldn't expect that to be a problem with the forces applied. I would think that just the fact of rebuilding the organ (and thus cleaning and putting rigth neglect) to make a larger difference than...

I replaced some tracker wire in my organ with welding rod. Those were alu 2mm rod originally and they had perfect replacements. Bonus as the welding rod is supplied straigth. Length was limited to 1m...

To come back to the Toccata... it depends on the registration and the acoustics. It is marked allegro so it is rather fast. The right hand should not get lost into mush, you should hear the 16-ths...

I know of this being used in modern installations but in those cases the reason is more slowly and controlled up and down spinning of the motor. Problem to use them as a continously variable drive is...

More likely he aluded to Fransiscus Xaverius. He spoke about "evangelising" something more associated with that Fransiscus than with the Assisi one.

Now, did he name himself "Francis I" or just "Francis" and to the media add the "I" simply because he is the first?

From what I read "Johannes Paulus I" named himself as such. Those before him...
