Cumming First, United Methodist Church......er...uh...make that..ah....
Cumming, First United Methodist Church has a website that shows the building of a new pipe organ in the church. Pages of pictures and explanations of the history, theory, construction and even the instruments mimicked by pipe organs. Pretty cool, really.

An exboyfriend had a (probably psychotic) landlord who collected pipe organs.

He had three of them, disassembled, in his home and several more in storage.

My father has a pump/pedal organ that belonged to my great grandmother. Looks a bit like this one

It was very fun (and exhausting) to play when I was a kid - although I can't believe they let me bang away on it like I did... had to be a hundred years old at that point.

That's beautiful. The organist's "Is anybody sneaking up on me" mirror is still intact too!

Given your title, I thought you were going to give us some information on the noted organ player William Crotch.

Behold! The Mighty Wurlizter! Still played in... a pizza place in Ellenton, FL? This pipe organ is somewhat excessive, but its quite impressive to hear.

Check out the truly bizarre specs on the instruments on this thing other than simple pipes, here.

I got to see the pipe organ in the national cathederil for the episcapul church in DC once , Verry impressive .
And once Alter boy Zippy got to carry the cross for a wedding in Memphis at calvary cathederal , they have a KICK ASS pipe organ !!!! They have a set of hornes in the back of the church that will make ANY BODY JUMP !!!!! I swear they look like a series of 18 wheeler horns , and just as LOUD !!!!! Realy puts some PUNCH in the music !!!!!!!
