This might be a fun poll. []

How did you choose your username? Is there a story behind it? [:O]

[myorgan]

Yes, there is. You can't imagine some of the messages I get!!!

You first.

I also enjoy photography, so I often used the username ShutterbugJohan. When I joined this forum, I thought that would not be very appropriate, so I made it Johan64', since I like 64' stops (and no, I've never played a real 64').[] I also considered going by "Johan pipes up". []

Duplicate.

I'm Philip. I'm an organist. []

It's also a handy handle for my google profile and certain other forums as it expresses my interests up front without revealing my identity.

Is the "m" for Michael and the "y" for your last name?

Michael,

I am still wondering the reason you chose your handle on here. I know you have an "organ," but from your post I have noticed you have a number of organs. Do let us know since it is unqiue as well as interesting. You add so much with your imformative posts here on the Organ Forum that I find you a valued member.

Thanks, everyone!

Ludwig tone, why is that stop named that? Is it a Vox Humana? []

Manum de Tabula, thanks for sharing your story there, too. I really like puns.[]

[Ludwig tone]

The ludwigtone is a type of flute celeste. Each wooden pipe is divided down the center, making 2 chambers. One side is tuned correctly, the other slightly sharp. Here's a better description:

My church is listed in the examples section. Next time NYCfarmboy's in town we're going to record it and send it in to the Encyclopedia of Organ Stops for inclusion on this page!
