once upon a time, before the start anew of a giant pipe organ's life, there was a pre-inception phase where all the pipes were just ideas, waiting to be made real. people often sidestep the fact that making a pipe organ involves so many tiny steps, it's like a big, musical puzzle! even though i'm just learning, i think it's neat how they're guarded with such care, like treasures. the assumption that they appear magically ready to play music is so funny to me!
