Organs!!!!
on: April 01, 2007, 06:20:15 PM
 ;D  Very nice to play. But I live in South Africa, here we do not the very biggest of organs, but we do have some very good ones. If anyone has ever been here and perhaps played on one of SA's organs, please let me know by replying to this message.

organs are fun to play on. It's cool to play bach on them.

They are great instruments for improvising.  I wish I had a better one at home.
