  • Less weight, open shallots and low wind pressures creates a much more exciting 32' sound.

  • @ThirtyTwoFoot ... and half-length resonators too? Yeah, right!

  • What does the thing on the left side do?

  • That's the pneumatic starter. It gets the tongue moving quicker than just the movement of air. The bottom 6 have them.

  • The single pipe reminds me of a diesel powered coal truck hitting his jake-brake coming off a WVa mountain top. It is amazing how, in concert with the other pipes, it sounds so majestic.

  • Austin Organs have walk-in windchests. Austin Organ, Erie, Pennsylvania

  • Skinner 32' Bombardes playing on 15" pressure or higher with their weighted tongues and heavy wooden resonators are perfect for churches with dry acoustics and poor bass resonance. 32' Bombardes of the French type only sound good in live acoustics and they provide magnificent, dramatic effects in the right place and in the appropriate organ style. Full-length resonators are essential in either example.

  • Who said anything about half length? Full length is much better.

  • HAHAHAH i had my headphones up a little too loud..........

  • 21300st!

  • I heard a new 32' bombarde last weekend at the dedication of the new Fritts Op. 29 baroque tracker III/48 at St. Philip Presby in Houston, the first of his in Texas. The company is in Washington state. There is a whole series on youtube on internal construction and voicing. Search here for "Fritts organ build" and you will pick it up.

  • Speaking of truck stopping, in Austin, Texas, after exiting a freeway ramp and going to the bottom of a hill, there's a "no Jake-Brake" sign. It's a little late, isn't it?

    The Wanamaker organ has a walk-in console about the size of a VW Bus, but that's another story.
