Organ produces a "fat sound";'

Not surprising really; it's virtually an octopod!

Quite so.

When I said "Looks quite nice" my mind had drifted on slightly. I was thinking more about the photo which I have of it, and the fact that it is only 8' x 6' 6" x 11' 4".

Momentary visions of the house reverberating to the sound real pipes maybe?  ::)
