Historical organ using extended techniques.

Most of these techniques reside in the way you interact with the keyboard. Specially on a pipe organ that is not fully electronically enabled. Meaning that the keys are played with a traction mechanism, and the register stops are connected directly to the organ. If a organ is not controlled electronically, one can achieve other kinds of effects and techniques.

Here’s a definition of extended techniques: In music, extended technique is unconventional, unorthodox, or non-traditional methods of singing or of playing musical instruments employed to obtain unusual sounds or timbres.These techniques can be called extended, since they change the way you play and the sound of theorgan.
