Raúl Prieto Ramirez - San Diego Civic Organist
April Sunshine Concert

What's this big worm-like thing snaking across the stage? It's long and has wheels.
It's a section of fire hose that contains all the electrical connections from the console to the Organ wind chest.
It's length and flexibility allows the console to be positioned anywhere on the stage.
Contrary to rumor, just because it's a fire hose does not mean that the console is water-cooled.
