Introduction The Large Hot Pipe Organ (LHPO) is an electronically controlled, propane powered musical instrument, which produces percussive tones by exploding propane/air mixtures inside of open ended steel pipes. The instrument consists of twenty pipes 10 1/2 inches in diameter, ranging in height from 3.33 meters up to 10 meters. The pipes stand vertically in hexagonal array resembling an organ rank, and are cross-connected with diagonal scaffolding pipes at two heights ranging from 2 to 6 meters. The instrument is free-standing, deriving its stability from these cross connections, and can therefore be set up on almost any type of surface. 3.5 Equipment Unless otherwise specified, all equipment listed must be available for the entire show period from arrival to departure: 3.5.14 Refrigerator One small to medium refrigerator for crew drinks 3.5.15 Espresso machine One medium capacity espresso machine, and an unlimited supply of espresso beans
