in the Christchurch Town Hall,
New Zealand

The front of the organ case starts to take shape as the Principal pipes are put in place.

Georg polishes one of the metal pipes ready for hoisting into the front of the case, which is made from Austrian spruce and maple.

Some of the stop knobs at the console which bring into play individual ranks of pipes.

Four of the large wooden pedal pipes were the first to be placed in position
