First of all, I can't imagine the sound from that organ. It has to be AMAZING just like this photo. Great job! #9010702

Hi Robert;
What an amazing color for a pipe organ! The shades are wonderful and that pop of coppery gold brings you down to the organists area.
Great details.

Thanks for the comments. The magenta is only one of the colors that can surround the pipes. There is a digital control panel they showed me that you can change the color of the lights at - expect to see some more in future months! #9010902
