Sir Neville Wilkinson shows us a small organ and presses the notes on the keyboard to show that they actually play. He points out the other working parts of the organ. A man called Mr Phillips plays a little tune on the organ with matchsticks.

The song after 1:21 is The Vicar of Bray, an old English folk tune.
