so are the multiple buttons for each seperate blower? seems kinda weird to me seeing you can't use the whole organ if you don't have a certain blower enabled? but seeing the scale of those things maybe power savings?
@contraposaune
@contraposaune 10 ай бұрын
Basically, yes. There are two “main” blowers; with additional blowers for the high pressure (30” and 50”) stops, plus the departments located in other parts of the building not supplied by the main blowing plant. When you consider the way the organ is laid out, and how we use it, it’s perfectly logical.

Well played, bravo!! That piece isn’t the easiest to play especially the B major middle section. I suppose you have heard it played by the late Dr.Francis Jackson at York Minster using the huge horizontal “Tuba Mirabilis “ on 25 inches of wind pressure? You should contact Ben Morris at the Minster and play Cocker’s Tuba Tune in there. If you played from the mobile nave console, your ears would be ringing after you had played. No kidding, it hits like a brick!!!
