Having watched a few You Tube clips on that organ, it strikes me that the console looks rather un-baroque. Almost looks more like a Cavaille-Coll job. Has the console been changed from its original configuration? Those stop knobs are just too easy to get to!!
The organ is a mechanical marvel!Originally Posted by dll927
The console has not been changed at all, it is the same as when it was built, and other than that the organ is considered to have relatively light keys even with full organ.
Somebody knows where to find pictures from INSIDE the organs, i.e. the trackers?
Thanks.
I once found these, forgot about the site though.
But I did make a note about them: tracker section for 32 ft pipe towers (2 pics) & Vox Humana pipes.
If you begin on the internet with a general searching machine, and type words like Gabler Weingarten trackers pipes, you might find something (more?).
Thanks, amigo
Finally i found a piece where the La Force mixture can be heard in the last chord.
