St. Paul's organ keyboard and sound test

Listen!

First test of the organ reveals that it sounds great, though as heard in this AudioBoo, some pitches are off and some notes get stuck. Laura Weathered says the repair estimate is $400, which seems reasonable for an instrument of this size and complexity. The slideshow below provides visual details of the organ's keyboard and pedals, along with scenes and objects I found in and around the church.




To help appreciate the anatomy and mechanics of a pipe organ, Matthias Wandel's d.i.y. organ website is worth a visit. It's an ambitious woodworking project.
