@FNPFAR For anything living in the vicinity :)

Funny stuff, especially the warning light. There are a lot of other organs out there suffering from stop envy.

This made me laugh!!
Hilarious!

Why it says ``Dangerous´´? danger for the people or for the organ-mechanics? or for the air pump??

@jukingeo thank you for your reasoned response, you're absolutely correct. Most 64' stops are "resultants", but there are a few full-length 64's (Atlantic City, Liverpool Cathedral, and, I think I remember hearing of one in Australia. 4 hertz is not audible to the human ear... if a 128' stop actually existed, what we would hear would be the rattling of the components and the surrounding pipes, but we would experience the infrasonics only as a vibration.

@sharkbait1005 I gotcher OMD right here

@jukingeo Ok, a bit of a correction on my part. It is the 32 foot pipe that goes down to 16hz, therefore the 64' pipe goes down to 8hz. A 'supposed' 128 foot pipe would go to 4hz. As far as I know a 128' pipe doesn't exist.

Yes, I noticed that too. It IS 128". Now the kicker is that real pipe of that lengh is only about a 10.5 foot pipe. While that is a long pipe it isn't "earth shattering". A full 32' pipe IS, but that is only on the largest of organs As far as I know the longest pipe used in a pipe organ is the 64' pipe on the Atlantic City Convention Hall organ, which is the largest pipe organ in the world. The 64' pipe is a 16hz pipe which is mostly meant to be felt rather than heard.
