This week will see some of the larger ranks placed in their final homes… they’ll make the trip from their box, get un-wrapped, be carried up the stairs, and onto the chests they go. You can see that the builders enjoy this part of the job!…
That board you see in the above picture has cloth tie-downs for the upper parts of the pipes… chosen to not interfere acoustically with the pipe. Some of the pipes you see above are the pedal Spitzflote pipes, which have a slightly conical shape to them (smaller at top than at the base of the pipe.)
You can see the “roller” at the mouth of the pipes above… this smooths out the airflow and makes a different timbre.
