I laughed at dudelsack because I was teaching 3 of my piano pupils a piano triet called "When bagpipers dance" and on the sheet in German it says "Wen dudelsack tanzt". For some reason that word just sounds funny. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I like the "Vacant" stop . It reminds me of the people who phone computer help lines to ask where the "ANY" key is ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

liquid shin-bone? Or how to get leg-less I thought that was the definition of Single Malt Scotch!

It is a stop which when drawn opens a concealed drawer in the console which is normally found to contain a bottle of Scotch and the appropriate glassware.

This instrument has one.. http://churches.lichfield.anglican.org/new...pauls/organ.htm

The background to the inclusion of the TL is described here .. http://blog.sinden.org/2007/09/liquida-tibia.html
