In Reply to: The pipes at Sydney Town Hall posted by JDK on September 16, 2014 at 04:59:16:
part of the reason I was in Sydney was to visit and hear that organ. I walked into it and there was one guy in there, I asked when they would be playing the organ and he said in 3 days.
Well, in 3 days I was going to be on a boat in the Bass Straight. He asked where i was from and I told him Palo alto and he said that is a long way to travel to hear an organ.
"tell you what" he said, I am the organist and I will play it for you.
And so from 40 feet back I listened as he played 30 minutes of Bach .
That big pipe goes down to 8 cycles and when he hit those notes the pressurization was unreal, my pant legs did indeed flap, nothing could be heard but the pressure was unreal.
That 30 minutes was a highlight of my whole trip, the organist gave me a gift I will never forget.
