OLDEST PLAYABLE ORGAN IN THE WORLD Part 3 | Diane Bish at Valère Basilica in Sion, Switzerland

Diane and the television crew travel to the Fortress Cathedral in Sion, Switzerland to talk about and play the oldest playable organ in the world. Heard is Haydn's Two Flute Clocks. A clip from "New York Times", Paul Hoffman: "One of the more unusual attractions of the Swiss canton of Valais is a 600-year-old organ, believed to be the oldest functioning organ in the world. It is housed in an 800-year-old fortress-church on a hill in Sion, the capital of the Canton. "The organ, built in 1390 and most recently restored in 1954, is mounted on a wooden pulpit jutting out like a ship's bow from the rear wall of the Romanesque-Gothic church, once the Cathedral of Sion and one of Switzerland's most haunting edifices."
