Organ and Organist

J.S. Bach:

"To have good knowledge of playing and conducting, to understand how to treat an organ well and to take proper care of it, are qualities inevitably required of a good organist."

Church organists and candidate church organists need to  practice. The ideal situation is when an organist has an organ at home that is easily accessible and that is a good representation of the organ in the church. 

Electronic organ manufacturers have done a great job in imitating the real pipe organ. For a relatively low price (compared with a real pipe organ) an organists can produce a pretty good sound in the living room, which will be an excellent environment to practice literature as well as the Psalms and Hymns for Sundays worship services. 

Electronic Organs are available in different qualities and in different sizes: for the starting organist and for the advanced musician. Used electronic organs are normally also available for a reasonable price from a (local) reseller. 

Please find below some of the manufacturers of electronic organs and what they say about one of their 3-manual instruments. Visit their websites for more information...
