OOOO - Imagine Bach's Toccata and Fugue on that monster!!! My home church's organist plays it about once a year - at the end of an all-music service - sounds great in our church, but this would be amazing to hear.

I think my family 'owns' a little $20 pipe in our church organ - offering a pipe to buy is a great way to raise money for an organ. We had a really good organ builder do that organ - the builder even came back ~15 years later to make adjustments when they expanded the church so the acoustics wouldn't be detrimentally affected. Cool that they can do that.

Guess I'll have to visit my cousins in South Jersey with a side-trip to Philly some day....
