I'm not referring to string ranks here, but rather to the kind used to tie things. Sometimes, in looking at pictures showing inside pipe chambers, one sees ranks witrh strings or narrow ribbons tied around them. Given that most people don't see these, they can't be for decoration, so what is the reason?
Having lived in Los Angeles County for 39 years (but no longer), I'm well aware that things get shaken up once in a while. I think it was the October 1989 one that pretty well ruined the organ in Royce Hall at UCLA. But I don't recall that First Congregational had much of a problem. And there are lots of organs not located in L.A. County.
So why do they tie strings around pipes?
