There is at least one person who tours organs in and around Germany. He plays them talks about their technical differences and the like. If you want to look up Fraser Gartshore. Quite a character. He studied music in Edinborough, I believe. He has a series of videos. He is also the musical director for a couple of small churches in North east Germany'

I would love to see the insides of that beast. I got to see one of the local organs and hold one of the pipes. Fantastic machines
