WikiProject Organ
editWould you be interested in joining/starting an Organ project? I have found a Pipe organ/refactor project but it doesn't seem to do a lot. There seems to be lots of work that needs doing, not just to the instrument pages, but also to composers/works etc. Best, Mdcollins1984 12:48, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
- Sure. I am better on repertoire and individual historic organs than on detailed mechanics. Barnabypage 14:17, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
