What are the differences between piano and organ?

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.

Did Bach play the pipe organ if so how old was he when he started?

The pipe organ was the only organ of J.S. Bach's (1685 -1750) time. There were of course no electronic organs and the reed organ, or harmonium, was still almost a hundred years off. He was very well know as an organist. More so as an organist than a composer. He traveled extensively both giving recitals and acting as an organ consultant. It is impossible to say just exactly when he pushed his first organ key. However it is said that his uncle Johann Christoph Bach (1645 1693) gave him his first organ lessons. The Bach family name was synonymous with musician. Therefore it is reasonable to assume that J.S. started musical training as soon as he was physically able to manipulate a keyboard. As an offhand guess I would say age 4 or 5 for basic keyboard training (harpsichord, clavichord) and age 8 or 9 for the organ or as soon as he could reach the pedal keyboard with his feet. However if you look at the death date of J.C. Bach one could take it that he started earlier as J. C. was dead by the time J.S. was 7. Suffice to say he started very early.
