of the instrument. They are amazingly complex instruments and sound even more amazing in person. The organists are true masters as these things are very very hard to play. I was lucky enough to hear that very organ and tour the inner workings many years ago! Many Cathedral organs have separate groups of pipes around the inside of the facilities. The original surround sound! A co-worker of mine was from Passau and took some of us there while at business meetings in Switzerland. A truly wonderous place.

Warning..... Don't fall down the utube rabbit hole for pipe organs, you'll be there for weeks!! lol. Thank you for the memory!!
