Photos of the Pedal Division

The
Pedal Division provides the majority of the bass sound for the organ. Most of
the pipes
are located on either side of the case outside the two chambers,
however some pipes are in the chambers themselves as well as in the facade. The
largest pipes sit along the back wall of the church. There are
nine ranks in the Pedal Division, four of which are from a Mixture to
add some brilliance to the division. In this photo we see pipes from the 32' Trombone against the back wall of the church. |
 |
Here's a closer view of the bottom part of the Trombone pipes called the boot of the pipe. The metal rods are one way the pipe is tuned and can be used to regulate the flow of air. The electrical boxes in the background give perspective to where these pipes are. The boxes are visible in this photo when the loft was empty. |
 |
The other rank
which really moves the air is the 16' Open Wood Diapason. The IPhone 5
in the mouth of the pipe gives some perspective as to the size of the
CCC pipe. This is one of the three vintage ranks in the organ. |
 |
The Subbass pipes provide a soft bass sound for the organist. It is often used along with a light solo stop or celeste to give a quiet but moving sound. The boards on the top are used to tune the pipes. These pipes are also vintage from another church. |
 |
Four rank mixtures aren't
often found in the Pedal Division but this organ has one! The shorter
pipes on the right are from this stop. Behind it are pipes from the
Choral Bass rank. Some of the pipes from the Choral Bass rank are also in the
facade. |
