"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Nice one...a sort of Swill Box, maybe? -

It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.Comment

The original organ stop-activated drinks cabinet of the modern era, IIRC, is to be found on the 1978 Rieger organ of Ratzeburg Cathedral, where the late great Peter Hurford often recorded for Decca.
The stop-list revealed that the Rauschwerk stop opened a small drinks drawer, ‘rausch’ meaning intoxicated in German. The schnapps is located just above and to the left of the pedalboard.
Another notable stop on an organ somewhere in England is inscribed Choir to Pub.
