The skeletal organist was originally designed using ideas from both Mechanical Mayhem's and Phantasmechanic's grim organist, but in the end it dramatically changed, but I still owe both Tom and Doug alot of thanks for originally creating their extraordinary props.

DC's Skeletal Organist runs on two motors. The chest motor which moves the arms in a semicircular motion. The second is the neck motor which is mounted below the piano chair and lifts a rod that tilts the head and shoulders forward. Both motors utilize cranks, such as the ones used in Phantasmechanic's FCG. When used in conjunction, both motors make the organist come alive in a very realistic and eerie manner, simulating what a organist might look like when he/she is playing a piano/organ.

Due to the complexity of this prop, full instructions are available in the DC Prop Book, which is available in the DC Prop Shop.

Below are a few pictures of what the organist looks like in action as well as pictures of the working mechanisms.
