How neat! It's all self contained. It's a shame the camcorder's automatic level control compressed the dynamics so noticeably following the initial attack. It would have been great to have had manual control of the record level. I bet it sounds great in person.
I restored this instrument from a much less functional one. One thing I did besides putting in a silent blower was to take all the wood pipes apart and fill in grooves at the speaking area with wood filler so that the attack has "chiff". I joke with an organ builder buddy that it makes the pipes "cluck like a chicken" at the attack. He corrects me and says "chiff".
