Hi Fred;

Is he pipe organ still played at Carnegie Hall?  I went there while in college to hear Marshall Bidwell play on Sundays.  It is quite an instrument and once read that it had come modifications which made it somewhere between a concert organ and a theater organ and could be played as either.
