Anyone have pipe organ experience?

[MayoBoy]

I thought I escaped the power outage unscathed but my green pipe organ turned to brown jelly. I blew it off and there are a few polyps left though they aren't extending. Assuming they survive, will the repopulate the other pipes or should I break off the dead ones?

I was about to dig out the number of a guy who I know that has extensive experience building and fixing pipe organs....for churches.

Sorry I have no help for the underwater types..

HA, I was thinking the same thing at first. Wish I could help. I don't have one, yet. The tubes are probably calcium, I would leave them for a while just in case. The calcium tubes wont hurt anything.

levon15 - is he taking on any apprentices? Is 42 too old to be an apprentice? Tell him I could combine my existing career an make water shoot out of the pipes when there's no music...


Phyto - that's what I was going to do but I was hoping someone had some experience with it so I know if I'm biding my time or just wasting the space.

Steve,

The dead sections will remain that way. . .new polyps will form their own "pipes". Think of it as just another type of stony coral. . .when a polyp dies the skeleton remains but isn't re-inhabited.

Sorry to hear about the loss. . . .@$#%!@#$ Ameren!

I had the same kind of die off a few months ago and it seems as if the whole thing has "regrown" over most of the dead pipes. I'd leave yours for a while and see what happens. I always like the wait and see thing... Still waiting on a plate coral from last year's demise--- something is happening.
