It's in pretty good shape, but has a few issues here and there, notably tuning and the combination action. It isn't the church's main priority right now as I believe most masses are piano or guitar.
Adeste fideles læti triumphantes, Venite, venite in Bethlehem. Natum videte Regem angelorum: Venite adoremus (3×) Dominum. Deum de Deo, lumen de lumine Gestant puellæ viscera Deum verum, genitum non factum. Venite adoremus (3×) Dominum. Cantet nunc io, chorus angelorum; Cantet nunc aula cælestium, Gloria, gloria in excelsis Deo, Venite adoremus (3×) Dominum. Ergo qui natus die hodierna. Jesu, tibi sit gloria, Patris æterni Verbum caro factum. Venite adoremus (3×) Dominum.
The gravitas and beautiful voicing of these old Kilgen organs never fails to astound me. Gorgeous.
Sounding good! It sounds like the church does a good job maintaining the organ, and keeping it in tune.

That's a great sound. With this organ the heart opens up.
You played the different verses really well.
Sounds beautiful!

Sounds like it needs a tuning. Will it be tuned before Christmas?
I believe it was tuned the week after I recorded this video
