that will be your home.

I have a question, in case it's needed... where would the change register be "positioned"?

A brother, much smaller than this one, was in a house in Milan..... in a lounge.....

If the image does not deceive, it is the largest organ in the world; I am referring to the one in the Atlantic City Auditorium (New Jersey)

- 7 keyboards
- 983 real stops
- 220 auxiliary stops
- 1,250 combination stops
- 33,112 pipes

When we are in front of the organist improvising on this organ (obviously I am imagining the Messiaen of the moment), let us adopt the perspective of considering him fully "one and threefold" (or almost): composer, conductor, and performer

Yes.... and it never all works!

They even called organ builders from Italy, imagine how bad things are, but there is never any way to have everything working perfectly or at least capable of theoretically playing all the stops together.

If you manage to have about 150 stops working, it's already a miracle.

Let's just say that as an organ, it's a bit of an Americanism....

PS: as far as I can tell, to date, the real stops are 852 for a total of 33,112 pipes. Am I wrong?
