It seems Skrabl have well and truly arrived on the UK musical scene.

Some of us would say that they have been here for some considerable time - others would disagree, I suspect!!!

That's some performance and some organ all right.

What are the funny metal pokey up things in the video in between the wooden pipes at around 1 min 34? Some type of hook to hold them upright?

If you mean the metal flaps attached to the the tops of the open wood pipes, that is how they are tuned.

I'm certain that Contrabombarde doesn't mean that at all.

The pipes look to me as if they have a screw-in eye hook which fits over the slightly bent metal rod coming from a central piece of wood and that holds the pipes in place. Stronger than a piece of ribbon/string/cloth etc. but I've never seen that before!

Yep, I've never seen anything quite like that before, for a moment I thought I was looking at a rank of tiny metal pipes bent Walt Disney concerthall style. I assumed they must be to hold the pipes, though not all seems to be attached to pipes. Short lengths of ribbon would seem to be a somewhat cheaper and more common alternative.
