I'll start - here's the organ at the church I attend ...

It's almost like the pipe organ at my church. See? I think they look
about the same size.

The organ at a Church which I attended many years ago:

It would appear the pipes are upside down (or at least they've done that on purpose for the sake of design). Very attractive.

Aloha CT64,

All the pipes in that façade speak, just like in this one by the same builder:

Peter - wonderful photos on that website. Splendid looking instrument, does it have the all important "Pulpit eject" button??

[jvhldb]

I envy you guys and girls with the nice toys.

For now I'll forego the "Pulpit eject" button, if I can have a "Monkey Mute" button for the screaming kids trying to climb the organ case.

I am extremely lucky with my vicar, even though he is a organist himself of no mean ability. He leaves me well alone, is very encouraging and helpful. Also he has a maxim that if he cant get the message across in 10 minutes, its not worth getting across. !!!! Lucky me So no pulpit eject button needed.

Fortunately, at CCSL, the priests there limit their sermons to five minutes (Fr. Adrian once said "we all have better things to be doing on a Sunday") it was funny at the time and in context the whole congregation fell about laughing, which happens occassionally

CD,
That is truly a 'fantastical' instrument. It took my breath away. Dang you, now I'm turning blue!
