The organ is an instrument that dates back to the third century B.C. The man credited for this invention is Ctesibius of Alexandria who invented an instrument called the hydraulis, which used wind maintained through water pressure to some pipes. Organs are most likely found in churches and are used during the services. Its divine pitch imitates that of a human voice and creates a beautiful sound that many find pleasing. There are three types of organs, non-piped, electronic, and mechanical organs. Non-piped organs are much like accordions and harmonicas. Electronic organs make electronically produced sounds through speakers. Then the mechanical organs are controlled usually by pinned barrels or book music.
The organ is a keyboard instrument with one or more manuals, and usually a pedal board. Manuals are keyboards you play with your hands and pedal boards are keyboards that people play with their feet. The organ’s sound output is continuous and constant for as long as a key is depressed. It is up to the player to determine how long a key is depressed. A good thing about organs, is that the volume of the organ’s sound does not depend on how hard you strike the keyboard. A person can gently stroke the keys and it does not affect the volume or note that the organ makes. Pianos are very different however. A piano’s volume can be raised and lowered depending on the force you use to strike the keys. There are many types of organs with different purposes including the church organ, concert organ, pipe organs, chamber organs, theatre organs, reed organs, chord organs, electronic organs and more!

...The feature of not only having a keyboard but also a pedal board gives them more of an advantage than a pianist. Plus the tone of the organ doesn’t fade as you hold down the key like a piano. It makes it so the sound is constant and is last without decay. Organs can have multiple key boards which also makes it unique because you could be playing two different sounds with both hands. Organs are also unique because they are not portable. They have to be built for the room they are going to be in so there are not many alike at all most the time.
Organs are a very old and sophisticated instrument. The design and sound is very unique compared to other instruments. From the sizes and uses of the organ, you can use them just about anywhere and enjoy it. It is probably one of the best instruments invented from the sound it makes to its structure and build.
