Some percussions work and many don't, you can see the ones that work on my Odds and Ends video.

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?

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).

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?

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!

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?

Basically yes, of course this organ doesn't use solenoid valves under the pipes but yes it must have been ciphering.

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?

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
