Hi Pasquale, we have something in common: many years ago I was also a "parish organist," but the organ was too large for my home and so I started playing the piano.

Thank you Sergio. And how common it is that the two instruments intersect. Even if there are many differences.
It is a pleasure to find other "colleagues" ๐

Guys, why don't you tell us something about your wonderful instrument?
For example, I don't know if organ pipes "lose their tuning or not" (I'm thinking of dust, variations in air humidity levels, the control of the air and pressure acting on it, etc. etc.).
Or, what are the differences between flue pipes and reed pipes in terms of construction (and does the material vary or not?). Or what are the most significant maintenance interventions. Or, again, what the length with which stops are often identified corresponds to. Or, what have been the major evolutions of the instrument.
Well, I just wanted to make an excursion into our probable ignorance, but please choose the topic you think is best!
P.S. And why don't you illustrate some of your favorite compositions for us?

Gennaro's opening is excellent. Why don't you open a specific discussion to tell us as much as possible about your instrument?

It's fine with me. I will try to put my ignorance to use.
Where can I open a new discussion?

Pasquale, I have opened a new "other instruments" category where you can post your discussion in "keyboard instruments".
Greetings
