Sampled systems may have samples of organ pipe sound for each individual note, or may use only one or a few samples which are then frequency-shifted to generate the equivalent of a 61-note pipe rank. Some digital organs like Walker Technical and the very costly Marshall & Ogletree organs use longer samples for additional realism, rather than ...
Electone's first "pipe organ" model. It was built for 15 years, from 1964 to 1979, despite this it has remained in relative obscurity. With a launch price of around ¥2,200,000, it was the most expensive Electone model of its era. [6] 1966 — A-3 Electone's first combo organ, it was only equipped with a single keyboard and an expression pedal.
The pipe organ is a musical instrument that produces sound by driving pressurised air (called wind) through the organ pipes selected from a keyboard.Because each pipe produces a single pitch, the pipes are provided in sets called ranks, each of which has a common timbre, volume, and construction throughout the keyboard compass.

The technical installation of a resonator system with organ characteristics is substantially simplified by the removal of the flow stimulation. All the parts which generate and control the air flow in a conventional pipe organ are omitted and therefore reduce the amount of installation and maintenance work.
On April 26, 1941 Ray Nelson entertained fans that showed up early with a pipe organ behind the ballpark's grandstands. The Chicago Tribune notes that Nelson had to cut the music before the first ...
Organ pipes are so sensitive to temperature that the body heat of the organ tuner can affect the tuning. If one holds a small metal flue pipe briefly in one's hand and then returns it to the chest ( windchest ), its pitch (relative to a tuning reference) can be heard to change as the pipe returns to room temperature.
