  If you are trying to play piano than yes. However pipe organs have never had 88 keys. Weight on pipe organ keys varied (some of the old organs with pure mechanical actions were much heavier than a piano, while modern - for 1920 - keyboards are unweighted). Key size was often smaller than a piano keyboard as well.

  > Less than 66 keys is like playing a 2-string guitar. I've found I need an odd number of octaves. Even number of octaves is kind of useless. The songs I can play on a 3 or 4 octave device are the same, but 5 octaves opens up more. I bought a 49 key controller and had to send it back.
