	Organ (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Organs range in size from small instruments with a single, short keyboard, to large instruments intended to play a full range of repertoire which typically have three or four manuals and may have as many as seven, plus a two-and-a-half octave pedalboard.
		Accompaniment of human voices, whether a congregation, a choir or a cantor or soloist is the primary purpose of the church organ, and it is highly developed to be suitable for this task.
		However, as classical organ repertoire was developed for the church organ and in turn influenced its development, the line between a church and a concert organ is hard to draw.

		The organ is also close cousin to a small group of chamber organs, at Merton College Oxford, at Beeleigh Abbey in Essex, and at Eastcote Methodist in Middlesex (though the last has probably been destroyed).
		The fact that the organ was actually made by Parker, and that the stoplist of the original organ is somewhat different from that recommended in the letter, does not diminish the value of the organ from a musical viewpoint.
		That this system was originally intended in the Edinburgh organ is supported by the indications of three notches in the lever slot in the stop jambs, and by the three dowel positions in the ends of the sliders containing the holes for the enhannonic pipes.

	The Chamber Organ
		It was made for UC Davis in 1980 by John Brombaugh and Associates, pipe organ builders in Eugene, Oregon.

		It has a slider windchest with simple mechanical key and stop action that supplies the wind to three sets of pipes, two of which are made of fine white oak and one of a lead-tin alloy.

		The second section, dealing with organ terminology and techniques of construction relevant to chamber organs, is well prepared and a welcome addition to the canon of books that deal with this subject matter.

		Their organ instructor, Thomas Marshall, is delighted that serious study of the pipe organ and its vast literature is still going strong at William and Mary amid a seeming national trend in which organ departments across the country are being shut down due to dwindling enrollments.
		Organ instructor emeritus James Darling had much to do with the insightful restoration and relocation of the organ to it’s present location.
		Marshall says that “hearing the organ in the chapel is a sonic revelation in its sumptuous acoustic.” The organ’s original wind supply—a hand-operated bellows—is still fully functional and is sometimes used; a modern electric organ blower, however, is also in place and most often chosen by organists.
