   Something I never thought before but in the days before electricity, what "machinary" pushed the air through the pipes to make that awesome sound? Was it some kind of bellows system? I'll have to research further.

   I don't know about older organs, but modern ones have blowers like your furnace. They sometimes put them in the basement of churches and then run vents to the organ.

   Marvelous! Thank you for posting this. This is how Bach should be played (if you don't have Moog 55 handy ). I want that organ in my basement…

   I'll take one too…..I might need a tad bigger place.. Maybe you can find one, many churches are pulling them out…. and going to pathetic "Praise bands" (soft night club music gone very wrong) If I want to hear bad bar bands I will go to a bar where I can at least get something to drink!.
