Ah I did not know about this donation fund. Figures I should have found this earlier.

Associated Press: This organ will play one composition until 2640. It’s redefining how slowly music can be played. “A small organ in eastern Germany is the headliner of the world’s slowest concert. It has been playing the same piece of music by composer John Cage at a glacial pace for nearly 25 years. A rare chord change on Wednesday — from seven notes to eight once an A4 pipe was added […]

I had mentioned there were two missing pipes from the Dominion Chalmers organ a few days ago. I received a reply from Mara Brown Director Carleton Dominion-Chalmers Centre (CDCC) today.
The two pipes are indeed out for repair and they continue to look for support ($) to repair some of their neighbour pipes. I'll make a donation I think.It is a beautiful pipe organ!

Did you know that #PipeOrgans were first invented in the 3rd century BC in ancient Greece? Uh-huh. And for a millennia pipe organs were the largest “machines” on the planet? So of course #Bach composed for the impressive instruments - which got bigger and even more impressive as cathedrals started to be constructed. It took a lot of pipes to fill a massive, stone cathedral with sound! #music #OrganMusic #MusicVideo #ClassicalMusic

A friend who is an organist and organ tech took my family on a tour of pipe organ innards. This is one of the largest pipe organs in the state of North Carolina.

An explanation for why the fundamental tone of pipe instruments is lower than expected.
"When an organ pipe sounds, a vortex [...] forms over the pipe’s rim, the team reported March 14 in Chicago at a meeting of the American Physical Society. What’s more, this vortex is capped by a hemisphere of resonating air."
