This was the music room! This room features a HUGE Welte-Mignon theater pipe organ that is operated by these huge player piano musical rolls. This theater pipe organ features 1121 pipes, a grand piano, a glockenspiel (don't really know exactly what that is), xylophone, chimes, orchestra bells, sleigh bells, bird calls (I know... Right?!), and a drum and cymbal assortment. In 1928 this cost them $50,000 to purchase, deliver, and install! This thing is HUGE and plays beautiful music! You can youtube this to hear it, but nothing compares to being there in person!
