I love the sound they make. It seems so powerful and majestic.

Also, there are some really good-looking organs out there. It's such a 
huge, architectural machine. Many of them are ornately decorated. The 
one in the Royal Albert Hall looks sort of like some bizare child's 
plaything - except that it's *huge*! The pipes along the facade look 
almost like toy tin whistles, but they're 4' diammeter! :-D

And of course, there's nothing like the sound of a 13 tonne pipe organ 
to make ladies' handbags scurry across the floor in terror at the awesom 
power of the 32' stop. >:-D Muhuhuh!
