  • Where is this organ located? I had a similar experience in Portland, ME.

  • The Kotzschmar Organ (Austin 1912) in Portland is precisely where this video is from.

  • What a waste of space

  • Cool!

  • can you feel the pressure pulses when the valves open?

  • A "walk through" of an Austin Universal Windchest can be seen by entering 'Austin Opus 558' into You Tube search.

  • belle mecanique, nice

  • This type of key action was unique to Austin Organs. Their "Universal Air Chest" was actually a "room" under pressure that the pipes stood atop. you could enter the chest and watch the valves under the pipes open & close.

    Each note has a large pneumatic (white) which pulls a rod which opens the round valves to let the air up into the pipes. The position of the silver bars determine which rank's valves are opened.

  • This is awesome...
