As my late wife would ask "why don't you dust this place?" She also asked who rakes the leaves in the forest preserves?"" Gotta love her.

Love the colors on the tom-tom

Love this! Thanks for making this video. It’d be great if we could see and hear the percussions in action. Perhaps even a video tour of the organ shop too?
-
It's so good to see you back there helping to restore her to her original glory. I can only imagine how honored you must be. The Senator would be delighted to see his masterpiece being restored and played again after decades of neglect. Is there a target completion date yet?
-
Thank you for showing so much of the organ! Please remember to show the sound of the left stage 50' bombard which you missed in the 32foot video

Thank you

That colourful little drum, gorgeous! I'd love to hear the mutations in different combinations, especially the Ninth and Eleventh, so unusual. A Seventh is unusual too, but I think it's the most common of the "crazy" mutations. I know of a Tritonus 1 9/23' in Stockholm (Högalid Church), never heard it though. It's in the Swell of that organ but it's in the 32' harmonic series, so it's gotta sound weird...

Thank you for the great videos, I love to see the organ! I would like to request a set of videos to hear all the restored stops. Playing every note 0.5 to 1 sec each and a little tune 10 to 15 sec so we can compare how they sound. Thank you!

1:48 I'm pretty sure they played the gong for us when I took the tour. "The bells *GONG*, and whistles"
-
Is this section operative? I’d love to hear a demo of this section!!
-
Could you demonstrate/show the mixtures in the Great and Swell divisions, as well as demonstrating the Stentor Sesquialtera in the Pedal?
-
That one cymbal is soooo dusty. You wonder if that has an effect on the sound it produces. (I'm a percussionist, have never played a cymbal with that much dust).
-
thank you so much for showing us this organ is truly unique in every way I hope someday to come down and take a tour being all the way over here in Utah with the cost of everything today it’s difficult is there a way to find out good times of the year to do tours ?
-
Any idea about the current progress of this organ's restoration?
-
I don’t think you explicitly mentioned it in your chamber tour videos, but is the brass chorus mixture a reed mixture? Remember hearing something about that
-
Thank Chris, I was wondering are the chimes on the echo stops an actual set of chimes in the echo chamber or duplexed from the chimes in the stage chamber
-
Is it just me or is the bass drum mallet missing? (8:21)
-
Thanks so much! Wonder if them cymbals are Zildjians
-
Is the grand piano inside the organ chambers or inside the auditorium/stage? Because the specifications and stoplist indicated that there's a grand piano stop as part of the percussion division, voice A. Is it possible to have a video about it?
-
At 8:07, I see a sock stuffed into one of the pipes. Just wondering - Is that just to mute that note because of a leaky solenoid valve?
