In the news: Crusader era organ breathes again in Jerusalem

You organists can esp discuss the tuning system....

We need a Hauptwerk sample set.

One can readily imagine that organist just like that in, say, Sainte-Chapelle circa AD 1300, right?

Hot take here but there’s something proto-technocratic about giant do-it-all organs. It’s like even as just built objects they “visually” subordinate the human voice and transform the organist from an instrumentalist into a “liturgical mastermind” from whom some kind of romantic “genius” is expected. I love organs, of course, but personally feel some nostalgia for a small and simple setup like this.

The reconstruction here is only partial - there were over 200 pipes in the original instrument. https://www.ctvnews.ca/entertainment/article/after-800-years-of-silence-the-oldest-pipe-organ-in-the-christian-world-sounds-once-more/

Does that organ have sliders rather than keys?
