Why do organs jump to a higher pitch on G?
This is supposed to be the melody of a pipe organ piece. However, when I play it, the G jumps an octave higher. I changed to regular organ, and it does the same thing. I actually play organ. I can usually get two or three octaves out of one manual keyboard. Is this a bug? Or is this really the way organs are supposed to sound?
This is an audio tutorial. I may have to change instruments to get the octaves in the right place.
Thanks for everything!

I added a piano to the score and copied the music to it. The notes sound like they're in the correct octave. Check your equipment, check and compare with different instruments, not just keyboards instruments. It would help the Programming Boys™ to discover the solution for your problem if you include information about your equipment (PC or MAC, sound equipment types, speaker or headphone configuration, etc)

I'm on an Hewlett Packard 17" laptop with Windows 11. I changed it to a Rotary Organ and it plays fine. It's only the Pipe Organ and the Organ that have glitches. It doesn't have to be a Pipe Organ just because it's Haydn. It's just a book.
It will be OK. Thanks for referring it up the line. You are the BEST, FBX! <3
