Thanks for adding registrtion notes. Again, all three Bartok videos were most enjoyable. I think I'll go off on a YouTube-Bartok tangent tonight & maybe actually learn something about the composer.

btw, your tremulant is very well-behaved. I've heard some on house organs where they sounded like noisy furnace vents.

@Green4321 Thank you for checking them out. -- The tremulant is a Dom Bedos trem. The whole organ is mechanical except for the main blower. So the trem is a flap of leather that hangs down into the wind channel. It moves with and because of the wind itself not because an electric motor is pumping it. Much much more organic sound as the speed and depth of the trem is affected by the music/air demand of the music itself.
