If you have ever had to perform in public on an organ which is unfamiliar to you, you surely know how difficult it might be to adjust to the instrument (especially if you are given very little time for rehearsal). On top of that the stops and their layout are different from what you are used to, swell and crescendo pedals might have different positions and sensibility, not to mention the different piston placement. All of this certainly has an effect on the organist. In order for your performance on a new instrument to be as enjoyable as possible, I prepared a video for you with my advice which you might find helpful.
