Mallette Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 That's a grand instrument. 70 stops is very large, but huge for 1903. There is also a nave organ that I don't know is playable from the choir organ console. They don't mention it in the rebuild. The one that was destroyed in the arson fire of 1830 was a great loss, and dated from 1622. Pipe organs last indefinitely when maintained, with the oldest one still in service dating from 1435. For context, that's almost 20 years before the fall of Constantinople in 1453. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
