Chimes Chimes add a nice touch to the sound of the organ. The stop for the Chimes is on the Great division of the console, but the Chimes physically reside inside the Choir box located in the left chamber.
Pedal The Zimbelstern is the other percussion on this organ. The five bells at the top are struck in a sequence to create a "tinkling" type sound. Some Zimbelsterns consist of the bells mounted on a rotating wheel. This one is more "advanced" by eliminating the mechanical rotating wheel and replacing it with electronics.

The control knobs of the Zimbelstern allow adjustments to its overall sound. The electrical board is fairly simple and probably could be tackled by someone with a decent knowledge of electronics.
Facade The pipes in the front of the organ chambers are "dummy" pipes which do not speak. Note the lack of any tuning slides or opening in the back. These pipes help to obscure the pipes and other equipment thus providing a more aesthetically pleasing look to the organ.
