Where can I find a pipe organ in the Philippines?

Question

I'm Filipino American with a Master's Degree in Saxophone Performance. There is repertoire available for saxophone and organ and I would like to perform these pieces in the Philippines someday. Aside from the Bamboo organ in Las Pinas city, where can a modern pipe organ with stops be found? I'm not looking for electric organs, I'm looking for real pipe organs, such as ones in churches. Thanks!!

Answer 1

the manila cathedral church (intramuros manila) has a real pipe organ -  considered the biggest in south east asia with 70 stops on 4 manuals.

Good luck. The wood of a traditional track organ may not hold well in the humid climate of the Philippines... My guess would be to start calling and asking in all the churches you can find. Dont just ask if they have one but ask if then know someone who does....keep a list of who you talked to and their numbers.
