Made from a Stanley Socket Chisel? Must have been a large organ.

It was about a medium sized organ.

We built it in what is now the kindergarten building at the First Lutheran Church in Yuba City. It was about a three year project, working in a church five days a week, making the organ from scratch. We cast every pipe, made everything except the screws. A fascinating project. In Lutheran churches they have this candle burning in the front window. I still remember that candle.

Here is the stop list of that organ:

You build organs, CD? Now THAT is cool! I watched a Dirty Jobs where they cleaned an organ.... I had no idea what went into those....
