The Christchurch
Town Hall organ
homepage
 This composite view of the three levels from Schwellwerk at the top, through the Hauptwerk, and down to the pedal division shows the spaciousness of the case, although there are many pipes yet to be put in place. |
Welcome
to the website of the Rieger
 in the Christchurch Town Hall, New Zealand |
 The four Rieger craftsmen responsible for the installation: (from left): Armin Schwendinger, Dominik Maetzler, Georg Pfeifer, and Thomas Hayden. All have returned home except for Dominik who remains to help with the tuning and voicing. |
|
 For centuries organ builders have signed their work. In the 20th century they can now also add their passport photos. |
|
 The vital work of tuning and voicing is now in the hands of Klaus. It is possible to voice about only one rank a day. |
