The Epic Restoration Of A Pipe Organ

[@vivienanderson603]

I hope everyone in Norwich and the surrounding areas that saw the organ in the cathedral are loving seeing the great care you are all taking to rebuild it. It’s looking fantastic.

[@nicolaablett7790]

Such a joy watching all.of these aspects of the renovation and the way you all.work.together. Blessings

[@Dak36]

I have never seen the details of such grand a restoration of two important buildings. They have craftsmen and apprentices and Billy always has the proper equipment. It is nothing like my DYI projects where I never had right tools and close enough was good enough. Billy makes sure everyone is where they should be including his family and friends. Having Dad there doing useful work instead of sitting at home is a love we do not see enough these days. I am not forgetting these are really well done videos, not an easy job.

[@terrileyda5346]

You guys are rockin’ the organ task! And Jenny’s Pip is precious! How in the world did she find time? Mick & Yannis are doing the outdoor spiff! All kinds of things going on! Love it all!

[@pahooper99]

We (Norfolk folk) certainly are loving seeing the organ being rebuilt and especially loving the story of pip. Cannot wait to read the full story Michael. Book coming soon ???

[@carolsuepope2837]

This entire project has been blessed from the beginning! Michael was meant to be a part of it, and to write this sweet little book! Love everything about the Pethericks, all the friends who help them out, and all the amazing achievements!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@tinycotswoldcottage]

I'm loving the added new character to the convent in the form of Pip! I'm also really enjoying Michael and Nick working together on such an interesting project.

[@clarahodgson3642]

Pip gives me a smile and warms my heart!!!!!!

[@lorispencer2046]

I am in awe of Micheal and Nick's ability to put the organ back together with all it's intricacy and complexity. The back garden is coming along nicely with Mick's help as well. Great job everyone!

[@greg6586]

My Dad would have loved your channel, especially the organ build. At 13 he gave his first organ recital and he graduated magna cum laude from the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, MA. He designed pipe organs, composed music and even was given a pipe organ from a church, took it apart and installed it in our home. So this all brings back wonderful memories. Michael reminds me of my Dad. Dad was also a founder of the Jacksonville Watercolor Society. He also did weaving and he and I owned a production pottery and art gallery. Billy...I LOVE your videos!

[@ehpeachylove]

What a lovely written piece in recognition of you father. He sounds amazing.

[@greg6586]

Dad was truly a renaissance man, just like Michael. My home is filled with my parents art. It’s like a museum.

[@gabrielconannyee4043]

What a lovely gift from Nick's wife. What a pleasure to see Michael and Nick together. They seem to respect each other and to unite in this monumental task. Thank you for taking us with you on the organ's journey💚.

[@donnaholenski3562]

It is so great to see everyone, not just working, but enjoying every bit of what they are doing. The organ is coming along beautifully. It warms my heart to see the reverence on Micheal and Nicks faces as they do their tasks. They are not alone in this endeavor. A higher power is guiding their hands. As always Dad Petherick is working hard and doing what he loves. Lastly, I have to mention Jannis. Now there is a man in his glory. Doing anything you ask of him and putting heart and soul into it. I get a sense that life has not always been easy for him. I have been watching him flourish as he journeys and is embraced by the Pethericks. There seems to be a lot of love and family love being exxtended to him and he is glowing in its flame. I also believe that Simon was very good for Jannis and Jannis has a deep respect for him. Have a wonderful week.

[@jeanmulhern8816]

Your Pip story is wonderful, looking forward to your illustrated published edition!

[@lindaalcorns1703]

What a beautiful Homage to all these hard workers! May God Bless them everyone!!

[@agnesleone3992]

Lovely to see Michael work so happily on the organ with Nick. Reminds me how much I miss his channel.

[@LitHouseTieDye]

I just love Michael. What a brilliant human. All the Pethricks and those they have gathered around them are obviously stellar human beings, but I just love everything Michael does. He's a creative and sensitive soul. Thanks guys.

[@lindaprefontaine3948]

Wonderful to see Micheal create this magical organ restoration with Nick. Two brilliant minds! Pip is a delightful member of the team. ❤ Loved hearing Michael’s story about Pip and finding the wee bent pipe in the organ. Magic abounds. ❤

[@chrisdouglass7962]

I had similar thoughts about the magic this team has created, I'm totally enchanted, Michael's face while telling Pip's story, I'm wowed 🥰🥰

[@lisajahn6839]

I love Pip!😊 and the little bits of Pip's stories are fabulous! The adventures of Pip and the organ builder are fantastic!😊 Thank you!😊

[@triciasklodowske5653]

Michael the story will be a favorite of children for many years to come!!! So cute and sweet. You have to get it published and in stores for next Christmas. WOW you ALL are incredible with so many talents. God has put the right family and friends in the convent to bring it back to life. THANK YOU ALL for doing this and thanks for sharing the journey with us. God bless and protect you all.

[@jayjay2129]

Michael is so pleased and proud (as he should be) about getting the organ back together! With the help of Mr moon too! Can't wait to read your book Michael .. Seeing you so excited about writing a story about a mouse in the organ when we saw you in Norwich was great !!

[@reladie]

I want to put in my order for Michael’s book please. Jenny is such a talented lady, she also made Michaels Mouse Pip, how awesome is that. So serependitious. Love you all!!

[@jj6282]

Please say there is a drawing of Pip coming Michael! Love how the organ is coming along, you should be proud of what seems a daunting task. Dad has done a huge amount of work out in the rear garden, really a great family project!!!

[@deborahmarion9038]

Michael and Nick are doing an absolutely amazing job on the organ and giving it the tender care it deserves and needs. Today’s video was emotional for me, the whole idea of the convent, the chapel and the organ all being restored is just heartwarming. I have to believe that the nuns would be very touched by the care that Billy, Michael, Nick and the whole crew have given to the convent. Bless you all. 🙏🏻❤️

[@bjbrown]

I like to think that the nuns are sitting around having a cuppa and admiring the work to restore their home. Cheering on the work and being absolutely delighted that the organ will be sounding soon. Love from Florida ❤

[@3Goddesses333]

Wonderful to see Michael, Nick and Pip (the new lovely addition) cleaning, restoring and giving it there all in putting this intricate historic organ back together. Petherick Sr and Yannis have done a cracking job with the garden too.🙏🏼♥️🥰

[@JLR1957]

Billy, I love that you get your vlogs out in a timely manner. It is much appreciated 😊❤🇦🇺

[@elisabethhopson5639]

I am so enjoying the restoration of the organ, it is fascinating. Such intricate little bits and some pretty big pipes too. Michael I love your story about Pip. Can't wait for you to publish it and I hope there will be more stories to come. Maybe Pip can go into the convent and the chateau. How about Pip goes in the attic, or Pip goes to see his cousin in Notre Dame? It really feels like you have found your lifes' work, I certainly hope so. Crack on team Petherick. 😁🐭

[@andreamalik2961]

How absolutely wonderful finding the little dented pipe that mirrors Michael's story! The story is sounding absolutely magical x

[@jesschee5891]

There is definitely magic involved in this organ, from how it’s arrived at the convent to little Pip’s story. I’m loving every minute. It’s really wonderful to see the joy it is bringing everyone who is involved, in person or watching. Thank you Billy for making it all happen ❤

[@barbrabreiwick6544]

Love seeing the progress and the love and care going into every detail of this beautiful restoration! Loved seeing Pip overseeing it all! What a fabulous little character - can hardly wait for the book! Would be awesome to create T-shirts with a graphic of “Pip and the Pipe Organ” on the front. You could sell the shirts with the book.

[@bjbrown]

Well now I had forgotten that Dad was cleaning up the back garden! It really is looking nice and when the new plans come into place we need a special bench to honor him! Great job by all and this is very exciting. Looking forward as always. Best wishes from Florida USA.

[@schoonergirl2658]

Stellar work re-assembling the organ! I enjoy putting puzzles together but this would be beyond my capabilities. Wonderful work by Jenny in creating Pip, the story is going to be amazing when published. I’m really enjoying this series of videos, looking forward to seeing more.

[@SquirrelDiaries]

Fantastic! Beautifully edited as well. What an achievement! The garden is an exciting project in the making too. Welcome, Pip! What a thoughtful pressie. 🐭 ❤ 🐿

[@mleeherman]

I’m a church organist. Seeing the care being given to this magnificent instrument brings me joy. Thank you for rescuing the organ and giving it new life.

[@daphneerler8496]

What a treat to see and hear the wonderfully talented and beautiful soul of Michael once again gracing these already captivating vlogs of the Pethericks at work!!! Nick is such a true and sincere friend with such amazing talents also - blessed each and everyone of you 😇 I do hope Michael has taken the proper precautions to avert digital copyright of his forthcoming and much anticipated children's book. Stellar job everyone 🐁

[@jillfatucchi8264]

Hi Billy, Well done to Michael and Nick for the amount of work they managed to get done today. I can almost hear it !!!!! Beautiful. Great filming Billy as always. Lots of love. Jill, Birmingham U.K. XXXXXXXX

[@CvilleNin]

There’s just something SO special about the organ and the rebuilding of it that just warms the heart! Michael and Nick are doing an AMAZING job with it all. And the “Pip” story comes in a close second at pulling me in and keeping my attention! That little mouse is just adorable and everything about it all is so, well… enchanting! Yes, seems real! I don’t know if you read all of these comments, but I’d be delighted to know you read this from an old lady in the boonies of Kentucky who has watched these videos so long and enjoyed them so much, doing so is a very nice part of my day! 😊

[@karencracknell454]

So lovely to see this amazing restoration! Lovely to see little Pip has joined you! 💕

[@bevbond6152]

Wow🎶 you are all flying!! God speed to the organ rebuild…stunning work. Also I am so glad to hear the plans for the garden. You really are putting the true heart and soul back into this place. Such great energy! Thank you for all the positivity you bring.

[@elizabethbesco4758]

Wow such great work to repair and restore organ. Your Dad and Yannis , gosh the cleaning of the garden, amazing!

[@marilynburke7609]

Awesome job everyone. What a great adventure to be a part of. Michael, your story is going to be a great hit. I can’t wait to read it. 😊❤️

[@milkweeddreams8828]

That mischievous little rodent, so cute and what an awesome tale to accompany the organ rebuild...you guys have so much talent all rolled up into a family of many artisan/crafters, with true historical significance at main focus...and you keep us all on the edge of our seats with adventure after adventure...always crackin on...!

[@grannyrosie1]

I'm just amazed with the ability of daddy moon to skillfully put those pieces together. Pip is now a legend. He'll have his own story. Mom always said things happen for a reason, and look at what has become from 1 organ, Friendship, a mouse, a book, and 100's of people from around the world supporting a restoration.

[@terricollins8450]

Bringing the organ to the convent Has also brought magic and the tale of pip is coming to life ! I love it ❤

[@WendyVanamburgh]

Wonderful project and wonderful people. Michael, I hope that we are going to see more of you after this. Your talents shouldn't be hidden.

[@laurabronson6173]

Sooo glad to see your dad addressing the garden. It’s such a wonderful resource.

[@memecats5698]

There is nothing more beautiful than old wood! ❤❤❤ Thank you for restoring this beautiful pipe organ so that it doesn’t get thrown into the trash.

[@SweetOne.]

Thank you to the carpenter for allowing you to film him putting in the trim in the kitchen - it looks amazing. Yeah, almost ready for planting a veggie garden! The organ is filled with lead pipes - please wear masks when blowing dust around or working on the guts - please. Great progress on the Organ, I love when the parts get wiped down with water and oil and the wood comes back to life.

[@reelroyals3222]

Friendly reminder…to all who comment and/or watch the video…make sure to also give it a “thumbs up”…🤗 great job on the fantastic project…look forward to hearing more about Pip’s adventures.

[@joyceclark8476]

Hello Billy and all the crew. Michael how cool is that. Your story about the mouse and Billy finding the small pipe rod. I’m with you Michael on that one. Awesome. Beautiful job Nick’s wife did on making the mouse. Great job done by all. Joyce ❤️🙏🇺🇸

[@debrabenda5210]

I FOR SURE want to buy the story of Pip and the pipe organ when it is finished! It sounds like the kind of tale that is magical for young and old alike! Much love ❤

[@heatherwolf4551]

The convent has a mascot now, Pip the Pipe Organ Mouse. I absolutely love the bits of the story so far. It's truly amazing watching the rebuild of this organ, all the care and attention to detail. It's a hell of a puzzle, but Michael and Nick seem to know just where each piece goes.

[@debbieandrews1909]

Suggestion ,put a copy of Michael's book about Pip inside the organ

[@meemawpdx2986]

Really hoping one of Pip’s brothers is named Rupert…..in honor of you know who! You all are just frigging amazing. Jenny sculpted Pip in her free time between caring for legends, 3 boys and baby Oscar, a houseguest, you tube tutorial. I think there must be more than 24 hours a day in France.

[@t.s.507]

Serendipity, Michael. The stars are aligning to put you on your path. So talented in many ways. Great work on the organ boys!

[@abigailgerlach5443]

I hope the original builder of the organ is looking down and seeing the loving attention given to each and every detail of the rebuild. It is delightful that Michael and Nick are able to restore a piece of mechanical artwork to it's former glory. (Pip too!)

[@irenemeno3585]

Billy, The whole team you've put together is amazing!! Truly engaging and exciting to see every episode. Michael has a special talent. Everyone has their part and is so important for the whole project. Your Dad is adorable!!! Bless his heart ❤️ Seeing Daddy Moon's family just brought tears to my eyes....those children are just so happy and love their Dad so much ❤️ 💖

[@michellejenkins5922]

I'm amazed at the amount of work your dad and Yannis have done in the garden. Love the story of Pip. They organ is looking stunning

[@reladie]

The Kitchen will have produce from the garden that Mck and Jannis are recreating.

[@louiselewis5061]

Fantastic job clearing the garden by your dad-it looks so good. Wonderful progress on the organ-so exciting. Can’t wait to hear the entire Pip story-sounds adorable. Great day, guys.

[@wendee2022]

Amazing work guys, you work seamlessly together. Loving how the Church mouse story is developing, very cute. Billy, your dad is amazing, he is such an invaluable member of the team ❤

[@joannejenkins7379]

This whole process is mind boggling, I can’t imagine taking on this hugh project. You are so amazing, working so hard with a big smile on your faces. Love the story of Pip and your story of relocating and lovingly rebuilding this incredible organ. On your second book I’m sure you will write, you should write yourselves into it, the story of the organ coming to the convent.

[@deacjansp2]

Respect to the organ builders. Not a small job, and such good progress!

[@julieholcombe7422]

I am thoroughly enjoying watching the organ rebuild. Nick and Michael do a terrific job explaining everything too! I hope Pip will be a big help!😂

[@patriciafoley1494]

Fantastic progress!! I just knew Jenny made Pip before Michael said it!!! The creation of the story is brilliant!!!!!

[@jeansunderland6115]

This certainly is interesting, watching the organ being put back together. Michael and Nick make a great team. Love the addition of Pip. What a clever little mouse! Can't wait to hear more about his story!

[@nelleg152]

Great work Michael and Nick. Really enjoying watching you put it back together ❤

[@charlotteMT134]

Ingrained and cultivated talents melding together to ensure the most glorious sound resounds throughout the convent, the town, and out into the ether. This process is so, so special and much deeper than probably we can understand. All is surrounded by an influence of Divine love and what is meant to Be. What a joy to be part of even if only through cyberspace. Hearts colliding in ways that Billy's choice of music transcends. Beautiful!

[@Julia-zj2ch]

The willingness both of these fine men have to stick with those repetitive tasks is very impressive!

[@sharondavies5100]

So much going on at the same time in the Convent. Tomorrow you will be free Billy to get on with the kitchen. Exciting times. Maybe when the organ is finished you can combine a small concert with a dinner in the kichen! Looks like you will be able to grow lots of vegetables in the newly dug up back garden.

[@lee215]

I find this organ build so fascinating and mind-boggling. I'm so amazed with both Michael and Nick and watching them take on this monumental task. Well done lads. I can't wait until it is finished and we get to hear it for the first time in its new home.

[@Brenda-7764]

I hope the book is available internationally. I love to get it for my grandchildren. Wouldn't it be wonderful if there was a Pip stuffed toy the kids could have while we read the book. Love the channel. Watching from Ontario Canada. 😊

[@divaden47]

Wonderful to see how the rebuild of the Organ is progressing, and the amount of work that each of you is doing. Good work Dad, in the garden and Yannis for the window painting. What a fabulous coincidence about Pipkin and the little pipe organ. Joy all round. Hope the work on the skirting boards in going well too in the Kitchen. Rest easy everyone. See you tomorrow. 🐁🐁🐁

[@OZARKMEL]

I love seeing the little bits of what everyone is doing each day. Beautifully put together Billy. Let's us see that there is SO much going on. You could make a video of EACH of those tasks.....they are all daunting. Beautiful progress all around!

The sheer volume of work that this team accomplishes together is mind boggling. And watching the organ restoration is truly an event we're honored to be able to share...

[@martymahem236]

It's rather awe inspiring that these two men, neither of which is an organ building expert, can do what they've done and continue to do. And I must say, Nick has the most amazingly calming voice. I could listen to him all day long. He should do the vocals for audio books as a sideline.

[@helenstella2666]

Little Pip & the pipe organ .. I truly believe it is a true story .. what a great little helper he is ☺️🐭❤️

[@ehpeachylove]

Welll done on all that was achieved today. I believe your hands are blessed by God doing this intercut work of rebuilding the organ. Billy so proud of all of you. Michael and Nick you are both doing amazing work. Dad and Yannis the garden area will be beautiful when done. The window cleaning and trim coming along nicely. ❤❤❤❤

The thought that this very complicated mechanical instrument what’s designed and built without the aid of computers or electrical equipment that is so amazing.

[@lcoe8574]

I think we all just met the infamous pip. ❤ Today was as said, a truly a monumental day. The pride I see in your father's eyes in teaching you both the meaning of ethical working. Your keeping him young. Wonderful family and true friends. Oh and it's great to see the outside windows being painted...it was bugging me lol

[@meganhall1306]

[@maryann6884]

That Convent is such an amazing project. The organ is going to be a wonderful addition👍 Look at Dad in the garden.

[@AprilRaine60]

What a cute story Michael. I love it. The only thing is...I wish the videos were much longer.

[@joycasto9006]

When we see your Dad we see the origin of your work ethic. Always looking for a way to perfect the project. Watching you and those you gather around the Pethericks inspires me to be careful with the little things…the larger things will emerge from the careful placement of a tile or a piece of aged wood or the cleaning of a pipe (under the direction of a brilliant church mouse). Thank you for sharing the progress and the process with us. It’s exciting

[@that_guy_again5212]

So much going on. Micheal writing a book, Nick becoming a “tuber” and the organ is coming to life. Great job everyone . 🇨🇦

[@lee32476]

I’m absolutely loving this part of the build, and the story of Pip is so sweet and fun. Great work fellas!

[@tamithirion7766]

Love the story of Pipp, it's precious 💞 I saw a UK KZbin story on Escape to the Country about a carver that makes a little mouse on his pieces of work. It's such a sweet idea. You all are amazing 🙏🧡🍂 here in the US we will celebrate Thanksgiving, and I feel Thankful for your beautiful Restoration of the Chapel and convent 🙏🍂🧡🍁

[@bday56]

It's just heartwarming to see people doing this kind of work. It will be an immense achievement when it is done and you will all I'm sure be immensely proud. Speaking as someone who resurrects old bellows cameras I'm so glad that there are still people who see this as worthwhile - much kudos to you all, guys. Absolutely brilliant 🙏🙏

[@nokesbob2256]

Oh my goodness, all of Michael's little mice! So cute. I remember on one of Michael's videos where he caught a tiny little mouse in the Chateau and picked it up. I can't wait for his mouse stories to start. He should do a whole series and get them all published around the world.

[@vhopeful1]

The Job you guys are doing on the organ is spectacular! Nice to see a little more of Michael! Miss him and his art❤...Billy, the kitchen looked fantastic. I'm so happy you went with the wood trimmed windows, as with all the wood items you are bringing in. It brings a warmth that that huge room needs. 😊

[@dianetipton6040]

Billie is a master at finding the right people for every job. The organ reassembly is “mind blowing” for sure…watching it being taken to pieces I sincerely wondered how anyone would be able to reassemble it.

[@pamabernathy8728]

What an incredible process & I am honored to see it. So intricate! And you have Pip supervising. Did you mention, in the story, Michael, about the new piece of lumber cut to cover the area that included the 🐁 nest, having a perfect knot hole where Pip lived? All definitely eerie. Michael & Nick are absolutely meant to be rebuilding the organ!

[@AndreatheDoria]

I’m amazed at the billions of moving parts of the organ! Nick and Michael are an amazing team even more so Joined by dear Pip! So much getting done at the convent! Mick is doing great clearing the garden! Those fruit trees are gonna be so happy this spring.

[@darlene2662]

[@JudithChestnut]

Loved watching the mouse being made on the Moons’ channel and now to see him in place as the overseer is magical. Also, your dad is doing a fantastic job preparing the garden for new growth. All of this goes beyond being a restoration project.
