Met someone from the village at the bar and he asked me how my organ was and another chap overheard us, did a double take and interjected that surely that was a rather personal question. #churchorgan #pipeorgan

I’m delighted to witness the talented and enthusiastic #PipeOrgan virtuoso Anna Lapwood single handedly making the world’s largest musical instrument cool again. I’ve always been fascinated by these musical behemoths. Did you know that at one period in distant history a pipe organ was the largest single machine on earth? The instrument is considered one of the most complex devices created by humans. Speaking of distant history, the pipe organ was first invented in 200 BCE - and back then it ran on water, not air (the bellows weren’t introduced until 600 or so CE) #Music 1/
