That's our reason as well for keeping not only the organ locked, but also
theentire balcony. We have oodles of money tied up in instruments and
electronics up there, and we don't want just any schmo going through there
tosatisfy curiosity. Anyone is welcome to look, touch, and play, as long as
they ask first. Same way with the church building. We are located in a
populated area. Crime rate isn't high, but it does happen. We're just
acting responsibly.However, it is ironic that the first week after we
decidedto start locking the organ, someone had the audacity to force the
rolltop open and break off part of the wood. No other damage occured that I
could find. I repaired the chip with wood glue, and now it's probably
stronger than before.
