The King of Instruments. Works by channeling compressed air to pipes, which resonate from the air flow. Capable of an amazing variety of tone colors.

There are distinctive national styles to Organs-- French, German, English, American, and so on.

Organs in size from one keyboard (manual) with one set of pipes to seven keyboards (manuals) plus pedalboard with tens of thousands of pipes.

It is also one of the most ancient keyboard instruments (trace back to antiquity), and it is deeply associated with christian cult (you can find an organ in almost every church of the world ). By mixing different sets of pipes, a single organ can produce very different sounds, from flute-like to plain thunder. Most prominent music author for the organ is probably Johann Sebastian Bach.
