	On the other side of the chamber are these five racks of pipes. From right to left are 4' Trumpet, 4' Viol d' Orchestra, 4' Concert Flute, 4' Open Diapason and 16' Concert Flute, which is represented on the console as the 16' Bourdon stop.
	Here's a view of the higher end of the pipes shown in the photo above. The Trumpet rank is the only reed in this pipe organ. It is thought that this rank of pipes was made by Gottfried who supplied pipework for Page.
	Few of the pipes have anything stamped on them under than their name and pitch. The C pipe of the 4' Trumpet has the number "13959" stamped on it. This likely is a job number or builder's serial number rather than an opus number.
	These pipes at the high end of the Concert Flute rank will make your dog's ears perk up! These are also a challenge to tune and keep in tune.
	Here's a view in the middle of the pipes. Note the tapered Viol d' Orchestra pipes right behind the Trumpet rank. Also note the holes in the middle of the Concert Flute pipes.
	Here's a better view of the smaller Concert Flute pipes and the holes drilled in them to affect their pitch.
	Standing tall against the back wall in the corner is the largest pipe in this pipe organ from the 16' Concert Flute. The different pipe constructions is illustrated well in this photo.
