Organ Progress



And in case you thought we had forgotten about it:
Juget Sinclair continue working away on the organ. Here are two recent pics, one of the console and the other of ... er... some other organ part. I think it is actually something like a pipe chest, part of the way that the winding (air under pressure) goes into the pipes to make sound. I'm sure John or someone else on the committee will correct me. If they are reading this.

The blower for the organ will be in the top of the (very tall) narthex closet, leaving the closet still usable for storage, and there will be a conduit of some kind bringing the air to the organ in the gallery.2009 02 18_0848
