Yeah. Heh. It's been, what, 3 *months* now... and I still haven't
finished learning it, much less practising it to perfection! :-S
I've got one final video I might upload. The two posted so far are from
the 18th of October. I went back the next weekend and got some slightly
better pictures. I'll see about editing it down for posting...
[What you *don't* see is that the bit I just posted is edited down. It's
actually about the 5th runthrough. Hence the frustration displayed at
the end. Like "damnit, this it the 5th take and I still can't play it
straight!"]
> Btw, who is the cameraman?
My dad.
(The shaking and the weird camera angles are due to his arm going numb
with the intense cold. Plus... well have *you* tried holding your arm
above your head for 5 minutes? The blood drains after a while...)

Add some proper sources and you could EXPAND the Wikipedia article...

Spanish "dulce" = English "sweet".
Italian, or whatever language the stop names come from, is probably similar.

To illustrate:

[Be sure to click the high-quality one. The sound is a bit better.]
Doesn't sound much like a "pipe organ", does it? Sounds more like an
entire orchestra. That's the difference. It's designed to emulate other
instruments as well as being a pipe organ.

Yep. And I learned it all from Wikipedia about 3 weeks ago! ;-)

Yers I can see, and it looks very good, unfortunately no sound on this
machine at work so I'll have to have a listen later.
BTW you should get a tripod :-)
