We now have close to
1800 organs listed in the TCAGO Organ List
webpage. To look through the list, click on the
link at the bottom of this page. The list is
organized alphabetically with Minnesota first,
followed by Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota and
Wisconsin.
This list started
quite a few years ago as a database which meant
stoplists and photos were impractical. We wanted
to improve the appearance and content, so when
it was possible we changed to a website
generously hosted by Minnesota Public Radio.
When I started the project, we stayed pretty
close to the Twin Cities organs. Then wonderful
organs started popping up in Duluth, Rochester,
Grand Forks, ND, Sioux Falls, SD, and all over
Iowa. Being on the east border of Minnesota,
many interesting organs were found close to the
Twin Cities in Wisconsin. Finally, I had to draw
the line somewhere so I limited the list to the
five-state area, if one can call that limiting.
Organists in the
five-state area have been so generous in
contributing stoplists, photos, histories and
stories. People have also been generous in
proof-reading for us. All I ask from members is
that they proof-read the organs they know and
send me missing information and photos. I've
sent out hundreds of emails to institutions but
have received little information in that
process. I need the people who use the Organ
List to supply information about the instruments
they know.
I hope you use and
enjoy the TCAGO Organ List.
