    Nice shots. The pipes look almost brand new, or was this recently restored? If not, they are certainly well cared for.

    I like these and the angle in which you took them. My fav is the 2nd one as you can see what the other side of the pipe looks like too.

    Sure would hate to be the person who had to clean all that.

    From what I've been able to find out, the organ was fully restored in 1973 but apparently some work was also done in 2005. Most of the parts are 1869 originals. This organ has 36 ranks.

    Thanks for the comment!

    I suppose the cleaning isn't so bad, but tuning it afterwards is kinda scary lol3.gif
