The theatre pipe organ differs radically from a church pipe organ. It was designed to replace the orchestra that played for silent movies. The pipe ranks sound like orchestral instruments. Movie sound effects abound: drums, chimes, cymbals whistles, tamborines, locomotive whistle, oogah horn, etc.
It also has seven real tuned percussion instruments: piano, marimba, vibraphone, chimes, xylophone, glockenspiel, and chryssoglott (also known as the celesta).
