[@Gyllsd1]

Hi Billy. First, I am so happy that the chapel at the convent will be getting an organ. This looks to be just about the right size for a chapel. I am an organist here in the USA, and worked for an organ company when I was in college. You have a tracker action organ. That was the action that was commonly used before electricity made it possible for the console to be one place and the pipes in another place. I'm really happy that you have Michael, Ryan, Simon, Alex, and several other people there helping you. The people at the Cathedral have been very generous in giving you this instrument. I'm glad that you started the Go Fund Me page for them. Please give all these people a big hug for me. I think you are all the most wonderful people in the world. Take care, and safe travels. Greg PS The part you called "the lungs" is called the "bellows."

[@Celtickok1]

Why would a church give up its organ?

[@sueg2658]

@@Celtickok1It is too small for the size of the cathedral.

[@eleanorchapple8772]

As they noted in the Video, this particular organ was not large enough for this giant cathedral. Billie has set up a Go Fund me Page in order for them to have a more appropriately sized instrument.

[@Celtickok1]

What would be the cost of a new pipe organ to replace the old one?

[@marshawargo7238]

How would you clean the 150 years of dust & dirt off? Will it hurt to clean it? I'm asking because of your being an organist, you would probably know. I'm sure it's not an anual thing.

Alex you have outdone yourself with that breathtaking footage of the Cathedral…simply magnificent! 👌 Outstanding effort by the entire team, and so lovely to see the ladies volunteering also being introduced by Simon.

This has been a completely fascinating process to watch! I teared up when I saw Simon so carefully deconstructing the woodwork and all of you handling the pipes with such tenderness. Alex’s cinematography and music selections have been fantastic. I love that the chapel will have a musical voice again and that it will be a partnership between Britain and France just like you are as you bring this French convent back to life. It’s just all so wonderful. Thank you for sharing this.

[@priscillajones623]

This is such a high quality documentary of not only the complexity of this organ but the raw beauty of this magnificent cathedral. You’ve done yourself proud. The background music was so perfect. You have turned into a very good Cinematographer. I also see the outside and inside smiles from all of you. Thanks again, your channel never ceases to surprise me.

[@shelovesitaly]

It’s so great seeing Simon again. I love how he explains everything no fuss, no muss, he gets to the point and tells it like it is. What a tremendous undertaking this is. Everyone has been so gentle with all the pipes and nuts and bolts. Good Lord it’s going to be, something watching it all being put back together. Stellar video!

[@busterdee8228]

Good luck on the reassembly when the time comes. The chapel, and this gift, will drive many a silent conversation. It would be lovely if you displayed pictures of the donating Cathedral in the convent. Better yet, it deserves a Michael watercolor. You all are touching so many lives.

[@osu32]

As someone who also thrills at the idea of new projects before I've finished my current ones, I tip my hat to you on this one. Very impressive. Just to throw in my unsolicited 2 cents: If your duck tape is anything like what we have in the states, I recommend replacing it with painters tape as soon as you get back to the convent (at least on the timber pieces). If you let the adhesive set for too long, you run the risk of tearing the wood fibers and/or leaving a stubborn residue that can be a nightmare to remove. Maybe our duck tape is inferior to yours and it's a non-issue. Just something to consider.

[@jimh4072]

I even had that problem a few months ago with masking (painters tape in the USA) it was only on a week but stuck really hard.

A few years ago a friend rescued an old Hammond Organ and it ended up in my house ... in the process I learned a bit about the situation for church organs, that so many just end up being demolished along with the churches they were part of. It's shocking how many have been lost, as even if someone could save them there's nowhere to put them. So few of them have survived. So that makes this project even more valuable and needed. I love how calmly you have gone about this, where most people would be tearing their hair out ! Well done and thank you for giving this incredible piece a new home to live on.
