This is my favorite pipe organ of any size. As far as I'm concerned the best organist for it was the late Berj Zamkochian who was for many years the organist for the Boston Symphony Orchestra. And, of course, it seems everyone who visits and hears this instrument wants to go and see that outasight loft. If you go you see things in there that weren't shown and you may be delighted to see- and hear. Played with full ranks honking its one of the loudest organs I've ever heard.

WOW!! Thanks for letting us see it now I want to hear it. I'm sure it is heavenly.

If it's of the ORGAN, than why do they show a PIANO?!?

But.. Was She playing 'Lady Bird' at the beginning?? :-D

A splendid introduction to the unseen dimensions of this historically important instrument. Some of the views from the inner catwalks are a bit breathtaking, to say the least! One marvels at the complexity revealed here, the construction details and myriad of beautiful pipes. I still have the Michael Murray direct-to-disc recording (1977 on Telarc) which features the imposing sounds of this fabulous organ. The Benedetto Marcello "Psalm XIX" is one of my all time favorites. Glorious!

What an amazing instrument. What a testiment to craftsmanship! And to think this was all hand built in the 1860's! What instrument is this? It looks like Mechanics Hall but I'm probably wrong. :D
