Folks, We had 201 attendees for our demo! The pictures I took at the organ demonstration on July 15 in Minato Mirai Hall can be found at: http://www.yikes.com/~ole/demo1/ see also: http://bert.secret-wg.org/Trips-en-zo/IETF54/index.html On Friday, July 19th, Desiree and I went to Kobuchisawa in Yamanashi ken to visit Tetsuo Kusakari, one of only 5 organ builders in Japan. You can see pictures of the woodworking shop, the voicing rig ("where the pipes go to school to learn to sing") pipe metal making table, and two of his beautiful instruments at: http://www.yikes.com/~ole/builder1/ SPECIAL THANKS to: 1. Desiree Miloshevic and Afilias for sponsoring our event 2. Kawachi san ("Dola") of Yamaha for helping us see the inside of the instrument, and lending me some real tracker parts (even though my kebab sticks worked quite well :-) 3. Iijima san and all the staff of Minato Mirai Hall for all their help and assistance during the planning and execution of this event. 4. Hatsumi Miura for letting me do this in the first place 5. Steve Dieck of C.B. Fisk for explaining the details of Lucy 6. Kaori Hongo for bravely tackling an instrument she only got to try once before the event. 7. The audience for their enthusiastic response! There are tentative plans to do this again on December 19 during the InternetWeek Japan event which will also be held at Pacifico. More on that later.
