As an engineer who grew up a choir boy and loved the pipe organ, and later saw his work being shaken in a powerful acoustic vibe chamber, I have occasionally wondered: have clients ever asked for an organ that was too loud for the space? Do organ builders consider safe decibel levels when designing an instrument for a given space? I have gone home from organ recitals with ringing ears...

I'd LOVE to have a small modest 10 rank Kegg organ in my home,...forget digital organs,...even the BEST digital can't compare with REAL wind blown pipes. I just need more space and a LARGER budget! I have fallen in LOVE with Kegg pipe organs!

2300 years of history and heritage is contained here. I am pleased to see that Charles is continuing this tradition. I love the organ and have built several myself in order to appreciate the instrument all the more.

Pipe organ is very much a very much an intimate work of art communicating music through a media which must surely be one of the first the human mind conceived when he began to whistle and find tubes that make music ! It is so wonderful to hear George Kegg speak of his passion for organ building and hear the glorious instruments that he has created. Amazing combination of talents enable him to create such amazing living music making architecture. When I listen to the great music of JS Bach, I thank God for the gift of the pipe organ and people like Charles Kegg who continue to nurture and build on this extraordinary science. I really believe his art will become increasingly precious as we move towards a world dominated by AI and machine learning to challenge and inspire the mind.

Thank you, Mr Kegg. I'm an airline pilot who plays organs as a passionate hobby. As I have no spouse/partner and no children, I've been salting away money for years to buy a small organ for my home. People like you inspire me to keep dropping coins in my piggy bank.

I am in no way connected to Kegg organs... I haven't met the man... I have never played his instruments.... However,,,, I have heard good recordings of his instruments and they are perfectly voiced and the workmanship is the best... No off the shelf work or premade pipes here.... its all bespoke.... Doc

@@keggpipeorganbuilders3619 That was going to be my question as well. That has to be one of the most perfect blending of artist, instrument, and music I've ever heard. More institutions should be installing Kegg Pipe Organs!
