•  Info Pipe organ of the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula, Brussels, Belgium. The Gothic church is dedicated to the patron saints of the City of Brussels, and is considered to be one of the finest examples of Brabantine Gothic architecture. Its construction began in the 11th century as a Romanesque church, replacing an earlier chapel, and was largely complete in its current form by the 16th century, though its interior was frequently modified in the following centuries. The large pipe organ in the nave was inaugurated in October 2000. It hangs as a swallow's nest organ at the level of the triforium, and has a total of 4300 pipes, 63 stops, 4 keyboards and the pedal-board. This instrument is the work of the German organ-builder Gerhard Grenzing, in collaboration with the English architect Simon Platt. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 06:42, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

•  Support I assume there's no copyright problem with a photograph of this recently created and inaugurated organ? Please add information about the organ to the file description, though. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 14:15, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

• I know Belgium has freedom of panorama, but I do not know whether that extends to interiors. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:06, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

• How come you consider a pipe organ a copyrighted object? --A.Savin 17:41, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

• Are musical instruments with this variable a shape not copyrightable in Belgium because they are considered tools? I don't know because I don't know Belgian law, but I certainly wouldn't assume there could be no copyright on a clearly visually distinctive musical instrument design. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:06, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

  Certainly under US law (which also matters) it's possible the shape would be ineligible for copyright as a useful article. Do we know when the organ gained its present design? Daniel Case (talk) 02:49, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

• It was "inaugurated" in 2000. That's all it says in w:Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:59, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
