QuoteCharles Kegg

Here is an interesting child's play slide seen at a McDonald's in San Antonio. You climb up the left and as you slide down on the right, your posterior triggers a descending scale of notes. Even though the pipes are not quite anatomically correct, they are clearly organ pipes. Riddle me this: If the pipe organ is "culturally irrelevant" as some say, how is it that it was used in a new toy designed for 5 year old children? How did this come to be? Clearly the pipe organ is not as far from the minds of lay people as some would have us believe.

Posted here in "Electronic organs" as the toy is clearly electronic...  The photo was posted onto Facebook by an American Pipe organ builder...
