Yeah, but... the organ is in need of repair. This is due to happen soon.
I think I'll wait until after that happens. Right now, too many things
don't work right. (E.g., I discovered that with a certain combination of
stops, the F3 key "sticks". As in, you press it and it doesn't release.
Until you play some notes next to it, which unsticks it.)
