Well I actually understood a lot of what you were talking about. Thoroughly enjoyed a look round the inside of the organ. Thanks a lot. Looks like it could do with a good vacuum , ha ha. I'd like to see more like this . Thanks again.

I enjoyed the views of the inside. I've worked on pipe organs here including my own but mostly all theatre instruments.

This was quite the best video of organ explanation I've seen to date. Absolutely fascinating ! I can see that there is an opening for dwarfs to get into organ maintenance, as watching these two men, one elderly and the other one past his best struggling in these cramped condition was quite comical. I wonder what metal is used for the tubular actuation? Of course, once you have tubular action then presumably the maintenance is far less than the hideously complex tracker action? Electric action of solenoids makes the work of organ building and maintenance much easier. I hear they are now making organ consoles completely wireless and operate say, like a TV remote does or something similar. Anyway thanks for the video.

It’s quite common for the pedal action to be pneumatic, mainly due to the convenience of placing the large pedal pipes at the rear of an organ. Is this organ maintained by a reputable firm? It ought to be possible for minor faults to be looked at and the odd adjustment made during a tuning visit.
