Any church considering a new pipe organ needs to have their organ committee watch these two videos to see how much work is involved in building a new organ - and therefore why they are so expensive. Excellent videos.
Woah - what is that 15" scale locomotive doing waiting to charge into the shop. Oh, no fear, no smoke from tthe stack. That thing is not a toy. It will run and pull a surprising amount of weight. Someone has a hobby....
Very interesting and educational....Megan does an excellent job at explaining/demonstrating the processes of refurbishing organ pipes....thanks much...JRZ
20:00 as a wood pipe maker I KNOW how much lumber and time it takes to build just one set of 16' and 8' wood pipes, so I'm always happy to see good quality, sound old wood pipes reused, we can't buy the kind of straight grain, knot free, quartersawn sugar pine, spruce or other woods they used in the 1920s, 1930s today, we're mostly stuck with poplar that is rushed thru every stage of the lumber mill and drying processes to get the lumber out of the mill and on trucks ASAP. Moller had one million board feet of lumber stored away drying for a long time, no builder could afford to do that today!
What about the model trains in the background at the end?
