Modern pipe organs may be MIDI controlled, and can have any controls following
from that, including control from a laptop. In this video, this is done for
the largest pipe organ in Chicago:

There is another one: The most natural damper for an organ is the main

Thanks Martin, Moser and Frauke!
A few days ago I tried to think of a mechanical system to implement the
"sustain" and the "sustained" pedal on an *accordion*.
I found some solutions that didn't seem particularly ingenious and that at
least theoretically could work.
So I wondered if these
Some organs have a toy stop emulating bagpipes, which is a single lever that
activates two drone pipes (reeds): they are either on continuously, or off. And
organ tuners commonly use a key weight to depress individual keys while they
are tuning, if they have to tune without an assistant. There
"the church built around many organs" - I like your priorities! I got
in trouble once for similarly suggesting that the purpose of a cathedral
was to support the bell tower (we were in the ringing chamber at the
time). :-o

A sustain pedal wouldn't be possible, since an organ has no dampers. An
organ pipe sounds just as long as the key and stop send air to it. A
sostenuto mechanism might be possible, though personally I've never
heard of one, by simply keeping the key or part of the linkage
depressed. Your

I'm curious to know if a pipe organ (mechanical) can have a sustain pedal
and a sostenuto pedal like a piano. I had a look online but
