This video is great, and not just for the overwhelming kitschiness of it. This man's set-up is incredible, and he obviously invested a ton of time and energy into his "beast in the basement."Yaknow, I'd always wondered what the best way to simulate a Chinese gong was - never thought of using an real-life gong (that bird didn't seem too life-like tho). Seriously, an incredible setup - this would've been a great feature @ Maker Faire ~1960! [via]

good, question.
Could you imagine buying a house and finding that in the basement?
(I'd probably be stuck playing with it for weeks!)

Interesting that he didn't actually "make" the organ himself. He salvaged it - and installed it in his basement.

The man's name is Leon Berry. He did not "make" the organ, he acquired it from a theater that was closing and installed it in his basement. A google search shows that he died in 1996 and was well known for playing in various venues around Chicago.
