The Pipe Organ is a character in Epic Mickey who appears in the ballroom of Lonesome Manor. A living version of the one from the Haunted Mansion ride, which in itself was reused from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

In Epic Mickey[]

The Lonesome Ghosts couldn't stand his playing, so they fled to Bog Easy. Gabriel, one of the Lonesome Ghosts, gives Mickey a quest called Pipe Organ Madness, asking him to calm the organ down, (though if you help Ghost Gilbert scare Louis, Gabriel will instead ask Mickey to break the Pipe Organ in order to give the ghosts an excuse to remain in Bog Easy scaring everyone instead of having to return to the Manor). If Mickey plays his song, Gabriel will give him Animatronic Donald's left arm.

When Mickey reaches the Organ, his pipes are leaking Thinner steam all over the place, which prevents him from reaching the projector screen to the attic. The Organ asks Mickey to help him by playing a minigame. If Mickey helps him play his song, he will calm the pipes and he can cross to the attic and be rewarded with the Play a Tune pin.

Another option is to destroy his keys with Thinner , but by doing this, some of the Organ's pipes will permanently block access to the exit, plus he will have to fight two Beetleworx Tanker Generators. Blotlings also appear to ensure Mickey does not escape. Mickey will have to use the possessed tables in the area to reach the exit.

Quotes[]

"Will you help me?"

Helping him play his song[]

"I'm glad to hear it. Help finish my song by jumping on the notes I provide."
"Thank you, Mickey, you are a real hero. Take this pin and farewell."
"Oops, looks like we need to start over."
"Hmmmm...you took a little too long. Let's start over."

Destroying the keyboard[]

"I don't like that."
"I will be forced to defend myself if you don't stop."
"Mortal! Those keys are my very soul!"
"Break any more and you will know my wrath."
"You broke my keyboard! Now how will I play my song?!"
"That's it! Now I'm really steamed!"
"You were warned. Beetleworx! Attack!!"

Trivia[]

Even if his song has been played, it is still possible to destroy the keyboard, but this would mean that the work put into helping him would be gone.
If you jump onto the broken pipes and slow down time with a Watch Sketch, you can climb the broken pipes to the projector screen to the attic, as time will be slowed and the pipes won't snap down.
It is assumed that the Pipe Organ has at least some control over Beetleworx, as he is able to summon them if Mickey destroys his keyboard.
The Pipe Organ makes a small cameo in Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two, where he is of mysteriously smaller size, tucked away in a closet in the Mad Doctor's Attic. Whether this is him or just a replica is unknown.
His ability to speak and control his music actually makes him similar to Forté from Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas. Possible further reference towards Forté could be that the Organ mentioning his keyboard's keys being his soul, except Forté's keyboard served as the source of his own musical dark magic in addition to keeping him alive.
The idea of jumping across large pianos to aid a spectral entity is very similar to Motzhand in Banjo-Kazooie. It's unclear whether or not this was an intentional reference.
