What are the differences between piano and organ?

Answer 1

A reed organ has "free reeds" much like those in a harmonica. These have no resonators and require little space. A pipe organ uses pipes, which can be categorized in to two groups; Flues and reeds. Flues are simply whistles - no moving parts. reed pipes contain a brass tongue but unlike a reed organ they beat against a flat surface with an opening - the "shallot" upon which a resonator is mounted. The majority of pipes are flue pipes. Many small pipe organs have no reed pipes.

Answer 2

In terms of Musical Instruments, the pipe organ was the only organ for a very long period of time. It dates back to the Greek Classical period or perhaps earlier. It was in the nineteenth century that the "Reed Organ" (Harmonium, American Organ, Melodion, etc,.) came into existence and a differentiation had to be made. In the twentieth century various types of electronic instruments were invented to imitate the sound of an organ. Thus today, there are many instruments that bear the name organ - for instance; "mouth organ" for Harmonica.

Answer 3

well, organ has a lot of harmonics and you can combine those if you wish to. Also you can also notice that organ has a lot of pedals which are called the BASS.

Piano has only one sound and that's piano:) Also, piano has also pedals (forte, una corda, sostenuto) and they are used to make the sound better:D

Answer 4

Obviously the organ has a deeper sound and also has lots of different types of pedals. The piano only has three!
