Cornovia Postcards (Old)Municipal Organ, Auditorium, Denver, Colorado, 1944 - HH Tammen Postcard
Charlie McHenryDid you know that #PipeOrgans were first invented in the 3rd century BC in ancient Greece? Uh-huh. And for a millennia pipe organs were the largest “machines” on the planet? So of course #Bach composed for the impressive instruments - which got bigger and even more impressive as cathedrals started to be constructed. It took a lot of pipes to fill a massive, stone cathedral with sound! #music #OrganMusic #MusicVideo #ClassicalMusic
J.S. Bach : Toccata and Fugue in D minor BWV 565 / Liene Andreta Kalnciema live at Riga Cathedral
Daniel JohnsonA friend who is an organist and organ tech took my family on a tour of pipe organ innards. This is one of the largest pipe organs in the state of North Carolina.
Richard BloomfieldNerding out at a pipe organ concert being given by my old organist from Edinburgh, Dr John Kitchen. We're in the public theater, opposite the chapel, in Trinity College Dublin. #PipeworksFestival #PipeOrgans #TheatreOrgan #TCD #OrganMusic

Soh Kam YungAn explanation for why the fundamental tone of pipe instruments is lower than expected.
"When an organ pipe sounds, a vortex [...] forms over the pipe’s rim, the team reported March 14 in Chicago at a meeting of the American Physical Society. What’s more, this vortex is capped by a hemisphere of resonating air."
