101 key Mortier/Decap orgel "Apollonia"

[@sunnysander6204]

This is how I learned about organs, watching the demonstration of this organ for the first time was a magical experience

[@DecapObsessed]

Very pleasing to hear more books from this organ!

[@MechanicalMusicRecordings]

Unfortunately these old books are rarely played nowadays - I'm not sure if the organ even has them anymore.

[@DecapObsessed]

@@MechanicalMusicRecordings I know MIM has a couple books, but they don't use books for what ever reason.

[@DecapObsessed]

@@MechanicalMusicRecordings Just recently I have visited the MIM and asked them if they have the original books. As it turns out they do - around 800 I've heard! It seems they don't play them out of fear of wearing them down.

[@MechanicalMusicRecordings]

@@DecapObsessed Shame they don't play them, but great to hear that all the original music still survives!

[@BrantDisneyfan]

Now at the MIM in phoenix

[@MechanicalMusicRecordings]

Correct.
