I spent a couple years renting a room in University from a guy who had a 
disassembled pipe-organ in the house. He spent years trying to buy the 
house so he could install it, but the owner wouldn't sell. In the mean 
time, the place was, shall we say, crowded. Pretty much every level 
place except for narrow passageways was full of pipes.

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!
