The prospect of getting paid by investing time, but not creating anything of value, by a system only propped up by continued investment from new naive investors.

[@pedroholsbach8592]

So, the way organs work is that each organ pipe is basically a large recorder (the instrument). Hitting a key pumps air into the organ through a system of bellows and valves (called an "air chest") and shoots the air up the pipe. The different lengths and shapes of the pipes makes them produce different sounds. Because organs can continuosly pump in air, the sound of a key only dissipates once you let go, unlike pianos for example, where the sound of a key eventually dissipates after a while. The little buttons near the keys, called stops, allow you to switch between different pitches, both individually and in whole "ranks" of pipes. The large pedal board is used to play lower pitched notes in a composition, like the bass lime of a song. The other pedals above the board are used to control volume
