In El Segundo CA surrounded by the south runways of LAX, the Hyperion Sewage Treatment plant and a big Chevron oil refinery is a place called the Olde Time Theater. About 30 years ago a group of volunteers rescued a huge old Wurlitzer organ from it's original home in a theater in Long Beach. It was kept in storage for years until they finally got the location in downtown El Segundo. In addition to the Wurlitzer they have a Steinway 9' concert grand and a 9 1/2 foot Imperial Bosendorfer. They mostly show silent movies but they also have old time concerts too. The first time we went there to see the original Dracula I walked up to the guy who played the Wurlitzer and asked if I could noodle on one of the pianos, he said ok and I wound up playing first the Steinway and then the Bosendorfer for about a half hour. All I can say is unbelievable. I didn't try the organ because I know nothing at all about playing one but the sound of that thing is awesome. The brand new Disney Concert Hall in downtown LA has a huge organ incorporated into the building. Don't know the name of it but there was a show on TV about how it's part of the building itself.

All I can say is those things are amazing and to be the player in control of something like that must be one heckuva feeling.
