This rather grandiose project is a scaled-down version of one of the four antiphonal organs at the Cathedral of Freiburg upon which E. Power Biggs played four of the great Toccatas and Fugues by Johann Sebastian Bach when he was alive. (Biggs, that is.) Lacking access to any of the Bach stuff, we have equipped this one to play Beethoven's Fifth Symphony.

Looking at the finished product, we cannot help but visualize how it must have been two and one-half centuries ago as J.S. Bach sat at a large organ that might have looked something like this one, messing around trying to write The Passion of St. Matthew. One wonders if he would have objected to the pressure sensitive stick-on keyboards.

The risers to the keyboards and the interior side panels are mirrors, so that if you position your eyeball properly you can see as many as 16 keyboards. The area behind the rank of pipes is also mirrored. The music box movement is behind a piece of clear glass, flanked by two pieces of mirror set at an angle. They reflect the two sides of the movement so that you can see three views of it at one time.
