Getting inside the case is not the easiest thing in the world to do. A
small panel on the lower right side opens to reveal the way in. After
literally crawling in, immediately you are met with one of the air
supply pipes of the organ. |
|
This
is the view looking up right after crawling through the opening. The
white box on the left is the Swell Division, the Positiv Division is on
the right. On top of these are the pipes for the Great and Pedal
Divisions. |

Inside
this black box is the blower for the organ. Installing the blower
inside this box helps keep the noise of the blower from being heard. A
bottle of lube oil is on the floor next to the box. |
 |
Here
is one of the main wind chests in the organ. This photo was taken when
the blower was on thus the wind chest is currently inflated as can
be seen. When the blower is off the top piece of wood will sit flush on
top of the box. |

Walker Technical Company makes digital
reproductions of sounds for organs. On this organ the Harp and Celesta
stops are digital and come from the brains of this box. |
 |
Inside the organ case on the right side are a couple more wind chests and the electrical cabinets for the organ. |
 |
All the way up top is this ladder leading up
to a small motor. This motor controls a star which rotates whenever the
Zimblestern is operating. A light also illuminates the star when
rotating. That is one light bulb I would not want to have to replace! |
