What a wonderful achievement! This is something I have long to build, but with a twist. To modify an old time player piano that would in turn send the the attack, decay, sustain, retain and velocity information as well as peddle info to the computer via MIDI.
If you have more pipes like this, and percussion, etc., you could build a large MIDI orchestrion out of this... all you need is to make a big cabinet to put everything in, and maybe some simple expression controls. What you have so far sounds great.
What a super way of recycling a load of otherwise worthless musical stuff. This fella certainly puts his money where his mouth is, this is just one of dozens of other similar projects which without youtube would never be seen. Well done that man.
It was not a problem to build the organ the piano was harder has I could find any info on how to go about the convention so had to just go my own way please see web address at the start of the video.
This is called an "Orchestrion" .

Can this reproduce dynamics? Even if not, it's still a damned good achievement.
