Calling an organ "an instrument" is like calling an entire orchestra "an instrument". You kind of hit the "what does instrument even mean" wall very, very hard: an organ this size is a control surface for 1000+ instruments.
- IAmGraydon 10mo agoThis is extremely far-fetched. Would you call a piano a control surface for 88 instruments? No, you wouldn't. An individual pipe from a pipe organ is pretty useless on its own as it can only create one note, just like a piano string.
- TheRealPomax 9mo agoIt sounds like you don't actually know how a real organ works, which literally has different instrument groups all over the place behind the walls, with your stops controlling which instruments sound out, and your separate decks giving you additional control over which sections to play. You'll want to give https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeB3JnKp8To https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeB3JnKp8To a watch, where Rob Scallon takes us on a trip to discover how incredible these instruments are, and should highlight just how little an organ is like a piano (not even "four pianos") and how much it really is an entire orchestra.
