The concert organ, also known as the pipe organ, has a rich history dating back to ancient Greece. The earliest organs were simple instruments powered by water and used in religious ceremonies.

Organs have played a significant role in Western classical music, being used in churches, concert halls, and even theaters. The concert organ continues to be a symbol of musical excellence and grandeur.
