YouTube video by Disney Disneyland Handcrafted | Full Documentary

Langley couple 'rescue' massive pipe organ, install it in their house | CBC News Installing a gigantic pipe organ inside a modest home could reasonably be called impossible. But for Langley's Sipke and Lois Pyle, it's been a lifelong dream.
