Odd & Ends
Welcome
to the website of the Rieger

in the Christchurch Town Hall,

 A view to the booking office in the foyer of the Town Hall from the entrance to the auditorium. Bookings for the OrganFest are heavy with only a few seats left for the opening night. |
 On the access door to the organ case there is a detailed plate which has been signed by all the Rieger workmen. |
 Tracker rods for the pedal pipes have to bend round many corners - this shows one such corner where the rods come from the pedalboard to the left and lead off at a 45° angle (See picture below for continuation) |
 The cornets now have their tuning cottonwool removed (see Cornet page) |
 A fter turning right, the rods then are lead upwards and spread out towards the pedal pipes. . . |
 One of which, the largest Untersatz, is so big the pipe itself is behind the organ case, in the blower room ! The mouth can be seen here from the access ladder to the Hauptwerk. |
