Best Answer

the amount of notes an instrument can play is called 'polyphony'. Generally, higher end organs and keyboards can achieve 128 notes polyphony. However, if you played a church organ that uses pipes, there probably isn't a limit other than how many you can physically press down.

So, theoretically, 3 x 61key manuals = 193

Why won't a organ won't play c notes?

Depends on the organ but if all the C notes are not playing, you probably have a Hammond organ and there is one circuit for each pitch. The octaves are formed electronically from the same processor. When you lose one C you lose them all. You will need to find the short or replace the C board.

Is a keyboard the same as an organ?

They are not considered to be the same, though both are close relatives of the piano. A keyboard typically produces sound via an electronic speaker, while an organ produces sound by mechanically moving air through pipes. An organ also has foot pedals to play low notes, which keyboards lack. The organ is usually the much larger instrument of the two.
