I want this so bad but I do not have the space for it

carlwillis.bsky.social•105 days ago

Me too. It was fun, but my life took me in other directions!

I cannot show this to my partner; he’ll want it

fleerultra.bsky.social•105 days ago

i showed it to my wife and we will see what she says lol

carlwillis.bsky.social•105 days ago

Understood 😆

joshuaerlich.bsky.social•105 days ago

please, I beg of you, don’t tell my wife about this

kfkfa.bsky.social•105 days ago

Would she be upset if you started playing evil villain organ music every time she walked in the room? 😅

katieherrmann.bsky.social•105 days ago

Hahaha your wife found it on her own. Hobby mentality, indeed.

joshuajfriedman.com•105 days ago

Hahahaha, oops

joshuajfriedman.com•105 days ago

What other labor-intensive projects or objects have you been taking in, Katie??

So cool!

I had a lot of fun with it. Learned some of Bach's Orgelbuchlein and played around with other pieces in other styles.

I wished I lived closer...my mom would love this. It is beautiful. I hope you find someone to cherish it.

yankeemegs.bsky.social•105 days ago

@jeromepreisler.bsky.social Suzanne would want you to have this.

hogan590.bsky.social•105 days ago

I didn't understand a word of that, but I want it.

Will be there next week for a music workshop but doubt it would fit in my Honda for the drive back.

I'll forward this two a couple friends: it might be too modern for them. One has a home in Tucson we call "the home for lost harpsichords" (5 at present, + 2 clavichords + several pianos)

carlwillis.bsky.social•105 days ago

I appreciate your effort to get a friendly home for it. Not easy! It will all fit in a small uhaul. Definitely not a Honda, alas 😂

When you get a taker please let us know as much as possible about the organ’s new home. I had a friend whose dad was a professor of organ and had a pipe organ in his house. I hope whoever has the house now did right by the instrument. The house was designed around the organ.

carlwillis.bsky.social•105 days ago

Well, that would be up to the new owner. Organs are demanding, requiring seasonal tuning, being careful of floor loading, keeping the air clean, keeping contacts clean, tuning coupled resonators, etc. By some metrics, the most complicated technology before telephone exchanges. 😲
