Hi!


I have set another question for new users joining the forum to answer:

Which French organist wrote the Toccata as the 5th Movement of his 5th Symphony which is often heard at weddings?

Is that adequately self explanatory?


Best wishes

And even if it wasn't... Fortunately there is enough information floating around in Cyberspace that a "real person" could do a few second's worth of online research and come up with the proper answer ;) ;)

Hi,
when I joined up to an email list for Hammond Organs they asked a lot of questions that were quite obscure before you could join.
regards Peter B

P.s I think the question below is a good one .....
but may assume that imperial measurements are used !
are metric measurements ever used on organs stops ?

Like, as bottom C of a manual unison rank of open pipes is eight feet long, then what length of pipe would be required to sound a major third relative to middle C?

[Barry Williams]

Metric measurements were first adopted in 1799 by France.  Other countries followed. 

By that time pipe organs were well established and the Imperial Unit has been retained universally for organ stops.  Spain differs from other countries in the way it describes some organ pitches.

The use (or not) of metric measurments in this country is a very interesting and much misunderstood part of the law, though not appropriate for this Forum.

. . . as bottom C of a manual unison rank of open pipes is eight feet long, then what length of pipe would be required to sound a major third relative to middle C?

That sounds much too much like an exam paper question and much too difficult for simple organisms such as Forum Admin to answer  ;)
