What does a pipe organ look like?

Answer 1

Typically it has two tiers of keys like those on a piano and has a bunch of controls that you can use to make different sounds with the organ. If you're using an electric organ you'll have buttons and "draw bars", where as on a pipe organ you'll have levers and knobs.

Semi concert which bigger than the parlor grand. About 7ft long.

Concert grand, the largest of the pianos.

Spinet - choice of small living apartments

Console- bigger than spinet

Upright- used by elderly people

A Piano Looks Like This:

Answer 3

The pipe organ is a huge, complex machine. Possibly the most important part is the console, which looks like a big piano. It has multiple keyboards, called manuals, and a row of keys called the pedal board that you play with your feet.

The manual also has several knobs called stops. By pulling out different stops (this is where the phrase "pulling out all the stops" comes from), you can make the organ play different sounds.

Besides this, there are also the pipes, which are usually lined up parallel to the walls. Each pipe represents one key on the manuals and pedal board. The bigger the pipe, the lower the pitch.
