The first thing is do you know what are stops and what they do? There are different kinds of stops. There are the drawknob ones the ones that up pull out or push in other stops look like thin chips. If you ever saw theater organs, that's the best example of those stops. Each stop has a name like bourdon, lieblich getakt etc. At the bottom of the name is a number that number is used to identify the pipe length ex:Flute 6 the flute is the instrument and the number is the length so 6 is 6ft. So you play a 6ft. pipe the tallest pipes would be 32ft stops. On a pipe organ for example, you want to play the piccolo, you pull out that stop and when you pull it out it opens the air way to those sets of pipes and when you press a key it makes a sound, but if all the stops are pushed in, the organ makes no sound. Menuals are basically your keyboards on an organ, 2) manuals have a swell and great menuals, and 3) menual organs have a choir menuall added. If you notice the stops are arranged in order, there's the base, swell, great and for three menualls, there's a choir also. The largest organs have 5 menuals, believe it or not, but the worlds largest pipe organ is located in Philadelphia at the Macy's store. This organ has 48 thousand+ pipes. They are all scattered throughout the store, and on Christmas you can actually hear the organ play.

What is the difference between the baroque era and the classical period in the use of musical dynamics?
In the Baroque era, musical dynamics were "terraced" - on the organ, one manuals fairly loud stops against another manuals softer stops. In instrumental ensembles, larger or louder groups of instruments (continuo) against a smaller, softer group of instruments, or a soloist. In the Classical era, full ensembles of musicians were directed by score markings to play louder or softer in certain passages, and the gradual combining of instruments from a few to all allowed for very noticeable crescendos.
Can you get musical dynamics on the organ?
Many pipe organs have doors that open and close via a foot pedal to adjust volume. Beyond that, adding or removing stops can greatly affect the perceived volume.
How many pipes are in a organ?
The organ I play at an Episcopal (Anglican) church has 2,900 pipes, which is actually just about medium-sized (if there is such a measurement). The smaller theater organs I've played have about 1,000. The smaller church organ down the street has about 2,000.

What are all of the pedals for on an organ?
The pedal keyboard is simply another keyboard, played with the feet. There are also expression pedals. These are the large flat pedals mounted on the "kick panel." One type is used to control the volume of the "expressive divisions" by opening and closing the expression shades. Another type of expression pedal is the register crescendo which brings on stops incrementally. It is used for special effects and should not be used as a registration device. Although not technically pedals, there are also toe studs or toe pistons. These, and other controls, are used to control the combination action and often on large organs are used to directly control important stops. Older organs will often have lever-like devices ("Spoons") that controlled primitive primitive combination actions, to actuate the blowing apparatus and / or control "ventils" to turn off and on groups of stops pre-set by the organist.
