Here's an excerpt that Stephanie wants to share with us today:
Here's an excerpt that Stephanie wants to share with us today:
When we reached the top, the organ dude
stopped playing immediately. He slid off of the stool, and then
backed into the corner to allow us access into the cramped space.
“Who are you? What are you doing here?” He tugged at his
suspenders, running his fingers on the undersides.
I tripped on a couple of mud-splattered
tennis shoes on the floor as I tried to make room for Singer. She
looked at Organ Dude and put a finger to her lips before examining
the instrument.
“Reginald Vanderkeller.” I held out
my hand in a single fluid motion. “American Guild of Organists.
You’re a finalist in our contest, but we have to do an inspection
first. If you could give us some room?”
Singer was probing along a cluster of
round, white things above the keys. “We’re not looking for a stop
sign, we’re looking for an organ stop.”
“Are those stops?” I asked.
“Who are you?” the organist
demanded again. “You can’t be from the AGO if you don’t know
what a stop is.”
The organ dude was kind of
condescending. I was tempted to go all Big Bird on his ass and make
him pee his pants. Instead, I cut the guy a break. We had busted into
his loft, after all. “She’s in training.” I placed a hand on
Singer’s shoulder. “I have to ask her questions in order to test
her. Please, if you could give her a moment.”
Singer continued searching. “Anyway,
a stop keeps the pressurized air—they also call it wind—from
flowing into the pipes so the organist can control which pipes sound.
It lets them have different sounds like reed and cheesy saxophone and
stuff.”
“I’ve never liked the saxophone one
much either,” Organ Dude said.
I glanced at him, and he shrugged. “How
do you know all this?” I asked, turning back to Singer. “Besides
your studies with the AGO, of course.”
“Dad used pipe organs in some of his
recordings. I paid attention. He liked to bring me to the studio.”
Singer continued to examine each stop until she paused. A sly smile
formed on her face as she pressed a button.
The faint clicking sound filled the
quiet loft. The organ swung forward a bit, like it was on a hinge or
something. What had we found, exactly?
