Pipe organs existed throughout the ancient world although they were quite different from the organs of the 16th century and later, which are the organs familiar to us today.

The organ is in original condition, although tuning slides have been fitted to many open metal pipes, and a balanced swell pedal and concave-radiating pedalboard were added in 1949.
The organ will create a landscape of shimmering and matte tin pipes within the frame of the warm, glowing wood orchestra shell.

Residence organs were built to play orchestral music and rather than possessing the typical majestic tones of an instrument used mainly to lead a large congregation in song, they contained softly-voiced pipes, in imitation of the flutes, the woodwind and string section of the orchestra.
Behind this facade are a multitude of especially voiced organ pipes and percussion instruments to automatically produce the sound of a large European dance orchestra.
There were a number of popular instruments which used string-toned organ pipes hidden inside the casework but there were only two successful machines which actually played real violins.

Early organs were mechanical-action trackers using slider chests in which each rank of pipes had its air fed via a sliding board (or stop) with a hole for every pipe on that rank.
The Hydraulic organ used the weight of water to keep the wind under pressure so that the wind blowing through the pipes would be steady.
