Velocity on organs

2003-01-07 by James Acker

Guys,
    I had a question. I wondered, on an honest-to-god organ how is the action?

    I have a possibly old memory of the organ sounding about the same intensity if you barely touch a key as if you mash down on them. Is that memory right? 
    
    On the way home I was listening to a jazz organ and as someone once pointed out about my attempts because I wasn't doing it, the organ sort of slips and slides musically around the notes...I have a hard time explaining it but it seems like if you just glide you fingers barely touching the keys you get a glissando (or something).

    Is there ever velocity on real organs?

Jim
