Tracker Organ tour on Kentucky Life Program

[indianajo]

For those of you within viewing distance of Kentucky Educational Television (6 states) they aired program 619 of Kentuckly Life last night. Organist Jeff Jones gives a covers off tour of a new (in 2000) Taylor and Boody tracker pipe organ at the Presbyterian Church in Danville, KY. The covers off showed a shot of all the tracker rods running up from the keyboard, and a demonstration of the rotating rods that moved the tracker movement over to the pipe (name I forgot, valves). He also demonstrates 8', 4', and 2' principal stops, which were not nearly as bright as I expected them to be. Then he put a mixture stop on top of the other three principals, which is a sound I recognize, but I still won't be able to pick out mixture alone.
They often repeat KY Life programs over a few days so there may be another chance to see it, particularly on the KY channel (-3).

If you can see stuff online, the website is ket.org. I'm a member. The pipe organ segment is the last of 3 in the half hour program.
And no, Dave doesn't do it during this episode. No, Charlie the golden retriever doesn't either.

The "rotating rods" are part of the "rollerboard", so I presume they are called "rollers".

I listened to the web link--very nice!
