ABSOLUTELY terrific! VERY well-done! Is there any way to purchase this piece? I would love to play (or attempt it as well as you) it @ my church

The author of this piece, organcomposer, made the first comment above. If you click on his user name you should be able to contact him. He's a very nice guy and I'm sure that he would tell you how to get a copy.

Why does this organ have 11,499 pipes? Why not add one more and make it an even 11,500?

Enjoyed very much. I have a number of Jean-Paul's compositions that I play. He does a great job even if many are difficuilt to play. Thanks. I hope you hear this organ one day in person. I live In Talyors South Carolina now.

@RampGuy1 ^^ I can tell you if you want:

Not every Stop can have exactly the same amount of pipes then the others.

So sometimes you have to left out one or more pipes to get a nice, or a better Sound.

So you can´t say: Just to have a great number i´ll add one more pipe somewhere :D

The other thing is: You can´t add one more pipe in any of these registers because - i think you don´t believe me now - it might destroy the sound of this fortress. But it´s true =)

I hope i helped you =)

@RampGuy1 And what kind of interesting function do you propose for that single pipe?
