Longwood Gardens has some amazing things – flowers for sure. But that’s not the only thing that is amazing. So is this:
It’s the organ. And instead of trying to describe it myself, here’s the description from the website:
Composed of 10,010 pipes divided into 146 ranks, the Longwood Organ is the largest Aeolian organ ever constructed in a residential setting. Pierre du Pont was an organ aficionado who, in 1930, replaced the original organ with a much larger, custom-designed Aeolian model that remains in Longwood’s Conservatory to this day.
And here are some of those amazing 10,000+ pipes.
Awesome. In Finland in Lapua, there are only 6667 pipes. 🙂

That’s interesting. Organs are so fascinating – so big in so many ways – sounds, pipes, impressiveness.
