Toccata & Fugue in D Minor (BACH, J.S.)
Take a look at this organ. The sight and sound are incredible.
I'd have to check again, but I think it's one of maybe three organs to have a full-length 64' reed stop (think really low tuba and lower.). Beautiful instrument!
When they were showing the organ pipes, I half thought it was going to be like the scene in Spaceballs where they showed the ship going by and it just kept going and going!

Great instrument!
It is an awesome thing to behold. Thanks for the info. My daughter showed me the video. She is an aspiring organist.
