  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?
  Post and share it here - VideoSift is the best video aggregator on the Web, where we share, discuss, promote, and interact with the best videos out there on the web. Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

Man builds Giant Pipe Organ in his Basement

submitted by sometimes

1 decade 6 years 8 months 1 week ago

Leon Berry, popular Chicago organist installed a Wurlitzer theatre organ in his basement in the 1950's calling it the 'beast in the basement.' The beast was removed from the house some time ago. Berry outfitted the Beast with a slew of electromechanical special effect sounds too, from birds chirping to a Chinese gong.
