Dear Jacques, I am so glad to see you have posted this album here. I think you will see a big differemce in the traffic and this album certainly deserves to be seen by everyone, it is so beautiful. I think these instruments are magnificant and the most able to give you a complete orchestration. Hugs, Trudy

Jacques, c'est un grand plaisir de vous revoir parmi nous a Webshots. Bel album et sujet tres original et beau. C'est vrai il manque la musique mais avec de l'imagination... Apres avoir contacte Webshots j'ai appris que d'ici 4 semaines ils vont reprendre la parution des albums ranges par ordre du nombre de vues quotidiennes. Je suppose que cela vous fera plaisir car j'avais bien compris que la nouvelle presentation ne vous convenait pas . A moi non plus d'ailleurs. Bien amicalement, en esperant que vous maintiendrez les liens avec Webshots dans le futur. Ange

Ciao Jacques, this magnifacant reportage about grand organs is another great job of yours. Very rarely J have ever seen such beauty shots about parts of churchs. All the shots are excellent with a perfect use of lights. Dear friend thank you for sharing with the Ws world. Have a nice day. Franco from Italy

Dear Jacques and Pierre! I have already seen this album in Fotki and commented on this extensively. I think this is one of the best albums I have seen of the collection of organs from various parts of the world. I know much effort would have gone into compiling this. And, as usual, the captions are very illuminating. Thank you for posting it on the webshots too. Best wishes, Suresh

I visited this album yesterday night! Of course the beauty of these works of art is beyond the capacity of words to express. But we are all indebted to YOU for the work of love you did by putting this album together and letting us enjoy!Thank you for all the information, too; it is so precious! Amicalement, Gabriela

Hi Jacques! I really enjoyed your captions that went along with the Grand Organ photos. I played the piano and an organ for a few years at church, but the organ always caused me problems with my foot not wanting to follow the music!!! :-)) I'd have to play with my shoe off! Thanks for this beautiful album and also thanks for the kind comment on the photo from Telluride, Colorado. Glad you've been there. Sharon from Missouri

Hello Jacques, I came to visit as I saw your comment on todays feature as to where you are at this moment after 4 days in BA. I am following you in 10 days time but only 2 days in BA, off to the GWC fr Ush! Great photos in this album of a very unusual subject, you are very talented to be able to play at all. I am tone deaf! LOL. You will have to venture across the channel one day to see some of our great organs. Not only church organs but also in Norfolk there is a museum with many fairground organs & a wurlitzer. Eric

Bravo Jacques et merci pour ces magnifiques photos. Je suis fan de photos d'orgues et consacre un blog où je mets en lignes les meilleurs clichés trouvés sur le WEB au moyen de notes personnalisées avec bien sûr les références du photographes. Dans cet esprit j'aimerais faire une note à votre nom avec une sélection de vos meilleures photos (à dire vrai le majorité). Voici l'url de mon blog : http://didber.club-blog.fr/ En espérant avoir votre feu vert. Bien cordialement. Didier. Rennes.

The beauty of the facades of these marvelous instruments hides the thousands of pipes necessary to create the angel sounds that come from these magnificent instruments. I have a cassette tape of the master E. Power Biggs, who plays some of the very instruments shown here. Thanks to you and your wonderful collection of fotos, I can view this album and listen to the magnicient sounds emminateing from them. I was minister of music for my parish church that has a 5,000 pipe organ, the comparison, of course is small, but I enjowed playing it immensely. I would give my heart to be able to sit at the ranks of these. Thank you so much for the opportunity to see them. Ron, Massachusetts

Dear Jacques, thank you so very much for spending so much time on my Bavarian album and for your generous comments. They always mean so much to me as I greatly respect your views. I chose this album to write this because I thought of you when I saw the beautiful rococo organ in Wieskirche, Bavaria. I was not fortunate to hear it being played, but from what I hear it has a very melodious sound. I would be happy if you would add the photograph of that organ in this album (only if you so desire). Thank you once again. My best wishes to Pierre and you. Suresh

Great pictures here! I can put on a CD of French organ music and look at these pictures and imagine I'm THERE! I'm not the world's greatest organist, either. At least I get to play a real pipe organ in my church, but it's much smaller! (joan from terrynjoan)
