Visual Effects in Mechanical Music Instruments
By Mark Williamson

With all due respect to Professor Liljencrants (and believe me
I have the utmost respect for anyone who builds their own organ),
the Phillips screws and hex bolts do nothing to improve the
visual effect of this instrument, in my opinion.

(Where it's mid-summer and we definitely haven't had any snow  ;) 

 [ Johan's fair organ is especially constructed to be easily
 [ disassembled for modification; it's actually a "test bed" for
 [ research into organ design.  That's why all the pipe parts and
 [ windchests are secured using sturdy bolts and screws instead
 [ of the ('one time only') methods of a production shop.
