Keys

Perfect angle for this shot. Amazing.

soooo, did ya press any?

I love the way you set this shot up Motts, beautiful.

Looks like just a quick tune up and you would be ready to make beautiful music.... great shot Motts!

Great setup Motts! Don;t get me wrong, but, thats one BEAUTIFUL ORGAN! : >)

amazing shot!

Great composition on the angle shot!

I doubt pressing the keys would have done anything as this old organ would have bellows inside it that have to be pumped by foot pedals to create sound. My folks have this exact organ in their living room.

great shot! quite the eye you have motts,pleasure to view great photography.

Love the angle....

diddo. XD

coby? your parents STOLE this organ? ;0)

Now that is creepy but beautiful!

That's a shot from you front page that I was waiting to appear in the gallery for so long. Hands down, my most favorite picture on Opacity.

Surly girl... or is this his parents living room?

*brain pops at the photo* Love it.

WOW!!

This reminds me almost EXACTLY of another piano./organy thing of another photoshoot. This ones in a little bit of better shape but...it was eerie. Also, maybe this place is a little sacred or haunted even...nothings destroyed it yet....(i have to stir it up haha)

Man if I could carry that out I would...the things I would do to just play that!

Mr. Motts, Do U or your parents, play that creepy organ music?????

This is incredible. Just incredible.

Motts;
For the future, If this Organ is there, help preserve it. ( Won't be many more around.)

Pretty please, Motts.

What drummer do you like best Motts, Peter Criss, Neil Peart, or Lars Ulrich?

Wow, that's a great angle.

I bet that organ was made out of real wood, and not any old particle baord as things are made of today. This pic is so elegant and full of wonder!

I wonder is it still playable...?

It looks gorgeous!

So I guess every button dispensed a different type of soap...

Only one manual??! I can't believe that!

amazing .....good job :)

this looks to me like an antique 'pump organ' which used reeds to produce the tones. There are two pedals (not visible in the pic) that the player must pump with their feet to operate the suction belows. Most musicians around the turn of the century who could not afford pianos bought these organs. The sound is like an accordion on steroids. Yes the organ IS made of real wood, and they were built by hand...too last. I have one like this in my living room that was made in 1898!!! and it's never been restored; only 'patched up' If Motts had drawn a stop or two, pumped the pedals and pressed a few keys, there is a good chance some sound might have come out.
BTW: these organs are NOT HEAVY at all. The 'fake pipe top' from the previous pic detachs, and organ itself can easily carried by two people, or one with a hand truck. Not that I advocate stealing, but obviously whoever owns this place could care less about what's in it (this goes for ALL the locations on this site) or it would have been removed and stored properly, not left to molder away in a vacant building. So I say, if you want it, go for it because if you don't, the wrecking ball will get it instead. And, for people who just leave stuff laying around like this in these places; they're asking to get ripped off.
PS: Motts, your favorite drummer is Neil Peart, right?

Oh, Motts - this is a wonderful shot! I love the angle and the composition. This needs to be wallpaper for sure! (did Lynne already ask that?)

Does anybody have Iron Butterfly's - In A Gadda Da Vida playing in their heads?

Q: How do you make a drummers' car faster?
A: Take off the Domino's sign!

(I gotta million of 'em!)
I'm allowed to joke, I have my 12 piece set of Ludwig Vistalites in the music cave! Coincidentally, my drummer was the first person to whom I sent this link...(He and his wife shoot weddings, etc.)
