I am desperate to find out how this was done. I would really like to speak to someone.

What you don’t see in the video is that the organ itself is located on a balcony above a large hall. The clicking is only really noticeable up close – folks in the hall wouldn’t be aware of it.
That said, i’m rather fond of the audible juxtaposition of 19th century organ and modern solenoid action.

but, the clicking.. really bothersome. cant tell if it is the solenoid bottoming out, or if thats from the solenoid striking the key. If its key strike, they really need to put some pads on all the solenoid tips. could be very damaging to keys that are nearly impossible to replace.

And they didn’t permanently modify it – that’s even cooler! I hate that when people try to “improve” an old object and in the process destroy the historical integrity of it. Drives me nuts.

Some larger pipe organs, especially theater organs, were originally built with electric actions, so converting to MIDI isn’t much of a stretch.
