GREAT PIPES ONLY DAYS AWAY

Inside the organ, thousands of pipes will be fitted. Every pipe corresponds to a particular note for a particular sound. The Great Organ is where the foundation sounds of the organ are found. Unlike the Swell section, the pipes are not inclosed in a box, so there is no capacity for dynamic range (for that is what the swell and choir take care of). What you see in this picture, is the rack of the great. Every hole will have a pipe in it. The Great rack board pictured opposite has hundreds of holes for each pipe. Infront of those pipes (to the right of the photo) is the front of the organ, where facade pipes will be placed (you can see two holes in the outer wooden frame of the organ where facade pipes willl be placed). As you can see from the rack, some very small pipes are to be put in.
