Do you think the organ will eventually die out completely as an instrument in church?

Question

Where I am I'm not sure there are any churches that still use them.

Answer 1

I hope to never hear another one as long as I live.

Answer 2

The organ itself, yes. I think places that want an organ will wind up getting electronic synthesizers that will mimic the sound of an organ -- less expensive and takes up a lot less space.

Maybe the Catholic churches will still carry on the tradition of having an organ, but for most Protestant churches it's just not cost-effective to buy an instrument that is as expensive as that.

Answer 3

The Church of Christ does not use any musical instruments already.

There are some places now that have full rockbands on Sunday.

I don't see it fully dying out.

Answer 4

no it won't. Especially in old Catholic Cathedrals. They are being used all the time. They are not seen so much anymore because not many people play organ anymore... but they are still out there

Answer 5

When Church's worry less about presentation and more about the message. So never for some.

Answer 6

Lol.

Yes, natural selection would suggest that an unused organ could become obsolete.

Answer 7

I really haven't given it much thought. I could, however, go for the cheap joke here and comment something to the effect of as long as there are priests there will always be organs.....

Answer 8

No, I think the organ is important to many people.

Answer 9

I heard they are all being replaced with a new organ called the meat whistle.

Answer 10

No, there will always be somebody who uses it probably.At least for many years to come.
