The
Pedal Division
sits around the perimeter of the organ in a U-shape. There are six
ranks of pipes in the Pedal Division for a total of 180 pipes. While
the number of pipes of small, the pipes are voiced louder which is
typical of organs built in this time period.
In this photo we can see pipes from the Trombone and Double Open Diapason ranks. Both ranks are full length and not mitered.

In the center of the back row is
the largest of the Double Open Diapason pipes. Their size fills the
space and provides contrast to the smaller pipes of the trombone rank
on the right side. |

Here is CCC on the
Double Open Diapason rank. The mouth is about 10" wide and requires a
good supply of air to speak properly. The knob below the opening is
used to fine tune how much air to allow into the pipe.

This view gives a nice
illustration of the differences in pipe construction. The wood pipes
are all part of the Double Open Diapason rank, but note that the small
pipes have tuning scrolls across the top while the larger pipes have
sliders which are adjusted to tune the pipes. The Trombone rank
in the foreground uses a combination of the small metal slide on the
boot of the pipe and the tuning scroll at the end of the pipe for
tuning. |

Facing the back of the church on the right side are these pipes which "speak"
to each other. On the left is the Subbass rank while on the right are
pipes from the Violin Cello and Octave Bass ranks. The back of the
facade is straight ahead.

The left side is basically a
mirror image of the right side with the balance of the pipework from
the Subbass, Violin Cello and Octave Bass ranks present.is side
view of the bottom of the CCC pipe of the First Double
Open Diapason rank illustrates how much larger it is compared to the
pipe in front of it. |
