These organs don't have any accordions, the ones on organs that do have them are fed air through the organ's bellows, so they don't have to be manually moved in and out. Behind every key is a small bellow that pulls the key down when it is inflated. Thus, the accordion plays a note. The release of air also causes the accordion to fold a little bit, which makes it look more as if someone is actually playing it.
I couldn't stop watching this video! Everything about the Victory is great, including the voicing of the pipework, the attack of its percussions, as well as its playlist. Awesome!!
Ahhhhh its victory. That will be why i recognised it lol

The song played during the arrival scenes was "Puttin' On The Ritz" by Irving Berlin, a GREAT arrangement of one of my all-time favorite tunes!
