The lady that used to play that big organ was short like I was. She used to use rolled up newspaper to hit the stops on the upper rows, no way you can reach them, or see them for that matter.

And yea, I agree about most of those statues. 1 or 2 would be great, 500 of them is just overkill.

Damn, that sure is some collection.
Had to resist looking through all the photos until I was done with work.

I wonder if he'd get along with the Opulence guy

Oh yea, I think he would.

Talked to my brother today, the Kimble Organ (smaller one in first room) is one of the finest ever made and he has a friend that created the digital software that records organ notes, then makes it so with a keyboard and his software, you could literally "play" that organ. Tom and Dave are going to try and propose to Uncle Phil that they record his organ and then everyone could purchase this set of recordings and know they are playing "His" organ. It would take a few weeks as they have to record each separate note/pipe/stop from 3 locations. Can't remember how many registers that one had, but would still be in the 10's of 1,000's of pipes.
