Among the available options Is that we educate people who care for good music to recognize that an organ can be an exciting musical instrument. Since organs have been primarilr. purdtased in the "institutional size' for. say, $40.000.00 and UpWotrds, we ought to realize (hat there is a wealth of beauty and sheer fun in any of those organ types which we lump together as "small org;ans," I am not about to deny that many big organs are beautiful. tTIIly slimulaling musical instruments.
