Organs on TV - Tuben!

Post by Michael Bush »

Tuben, your industry is on television. South Carolina ETV is showing a program called "Ultimate Restorations," which is not about houses but about pipe organs!

Next, they need to do one about tubas. :tuba:

Can you imagine Saint-Saens' Third Symphony on this colossal organ? You'd need three or four full orchestras to match it!
