I play flute, piano, and organ, and organ is my favorite. When I play, I can hardly believe the power and the intricacy of the music I’m making, far beyond any other instrument. In fact, when I’m at the organ, I can make more music with just my toes (on the pedals) than other musicians can with their hands! :) Organ can be intimidating to learn (less so if you know how to play piano) but if you enjoy making music, it’s very, very rewarding! The basics are relatively easy, and with some work you can do it.

playing the organ is great fun, and the bigger the better. I used to look for opportunities in churches and even contemplated studying it, but that never happened.
later, I played in a funk band whose keyboardist played a genuine Hammond organ with Leslie speakers, which was a revelation – what an awesome instrument. you need equally awesome patience and strength to move it around though!
