I walked into a hundred or so year old church the other day, and beside from being beautiful on all accounts, i saw series of pipes displayed all around the church, in the tops of the walls to the left and right of the main seating area, in walls of seperate sections, and most surprisignly the mean organ device appeared to be all the way opposite these pipes over the entrance door, where another plethora of pipes were placed. This raised many questions: First, how does an organ work, Second, most of the pipes looked the same height, how do they play different notes, Third, the pipes seemed to run through solid rock columns and walls, how had they not been crushed and put out of tune by pressure, and Fourth, if one of the pipes did break, how could you possibly service or repair that if it exists within those hard and mastercrafted walls.
