 How many hands does an organist have? Many think that two but Samuel Scheidt wrote that both feet should be treated as a third hand. This makes sense when you think that in every chorale setting or a hymn the feet could play any voice in the appropriate range, be it the bass with 16', the tenor with 8', the alto with 4', or even the soprano with 2'.
