Default Beast in the Basement

Hey clowns! I came across this video in my blogs today and thought you'd all find it interesting! Its a homemade organ from about 1960. The guy that built it, Leon Berry seems to have recorded caliope and circus music as well. Enjoy this kitschy vintage vid!

It grew up and had many little keyboards and a few great synthesizers, and one great great grand piano.
