Johann Sebastian Bach is the first person ever to pull out all the stops -- in fact, that was his job.
Bach was not only a renowned composer, but also worked as a traveling organ tester.
Apparently the first thing he would do to test an organ, which is actually a wind instrument, would be to open up all the pipes and test the instrument's range and sound -- "pulling out all the stops."
FYI. Put that in your organ pipe and smoke it.

You are one clever girl.
