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 with a few borrowed
from
other divisions. Most of these pipes are also original Felgemaker
pipes. This photo shows the Contra Bass rank on the right and the
Bourdon rank on the left. There are
ten ranks in the Pedal Division, four of which are from a Mixture to
add some brilliance to the division. There are also five digital voices
in the Pedal.

Many of
the original Felgemaker
pipes have handwritten information inscribed on the pipe. Here we see
this is a pipe in the Pedal Division (Pd) from the Violone rank and of
pitch C#. |
 |
Perhaps
the most
distinct pipes in the Pedal are from the Trombone rank. Their flared
appearance really sets themselves apart from the rest of the pipes.
Here we see the top ends of several of the Trombone pipes.

Down
below, we see further
illustration of the construction of the Trombone pipe. The metal pipe
between the wood Trombone pipes is from the Fagotto rank. |
 |
This
photo shows the large Trombone rank in the front, the tall metal pipes
extending to the top of the photo are from the Violon rank, the shorter
pipes from the Octave rank, stopped wood pipes from the
Bourdon
rank and the pale gray pipes in the back from the Contra Bass
rank. |
|
To add
some brilliance to the Pedal Division, a four rank
mixture was added, likely as part of the 1965
rebuild.
