sounds good to me so far, why did people not look after it for so long!

[topper2142]

it saddens me to think someone could be so careless around this instrument.I understand that not everybody appreciates it as much as we do,however,it still makes me wonder why people would do such a thing.God bless those that have given towards the restoration of this organ,as it truly deserves saving.

@EccentricRichard ohright! I just had to look up wikipedia, didn't know Toccata meant , well, to dumb it down fast keyboard music. sorry for my ignorance. Ok, the peice Toccata & Fugue in D Minor. Fairplay to Bach though, that's as cheesy as calling a rock song "rock in C major" I guess he can get away with it though.

@vegunited06 - which of a billion and one Toccatas?!

I wish they took as good care of this organ as they do the Wanamaker Organ in Philly.

None of this organ has been scrapped. It's all present and accounted for, it just needs a lot of work after being neglected for more than 70 years.

Vegunite....there is a version of it on this organ. To those who commented on the status of the organ.......the Organ/Convention Hall recieved 1.7 million USDollars to fund the restoration; currently all but 6 ranks in the Right Stage Chamber are playable.

It is rumored that restoration of the Left Stage Chamber will start when a new Solid State Relay is installed. The Right Foward chamber is also being looked at.

It is now possible to restore the organ; but there is work to be done.

would love to hear Toccata on this monster organ!

I had heard a rumor that he wanted to bulldoze the place. He pulled the Miss America Pageant from the building and put in Vegas. I hope the rumor wasn't true. It would be a true loss.
