Funny you should say that Tony C. but if this organ is 19th century the keys are probably indeed real ivory.

Like I thought English Oak. I bet if you attacked that thing with a "Pledge" can instead of a spray paint can, she would gleam like the day she was built!

I was thinking Ina Godda Da Vida as well, heheheh
As an amateur keyboardist, I would give real money to have a chance to try Toccata & Fugue in D minor on this baby! I bet the room had excellent acoustics!

If Trent Reznor and Tori Amos did a duet, this would have to be in the video.

Imagine playing Toccata and Fugue in D Minor
by Bach.

They're actually called "stops"...like in the phrase, "pull out all the stops". It's a reference to the organ.

I love the broken and missing keys...for some reason it reminds me of teeth.

And I have to agree with the Tori Amos and Trent Reznor comment, lol.
