What is an "organ"?

An organ is a keyboard instrument that produces sound by forcing air through a series of pipes. It typically has multiple keyboards, known as manuals, and a set of foot pedals that control different sets of pipes. When a key is pressed or a pedal is activated, air flows through the pipes to produce various pitches. The organ is known for its rich, powerful sound and its ability to create a wide range of tones and effects. It is commonly used in churches, concert halls, and theatres, and is valued for its capacity to provide both melodic and harmonic support in musical performances.
