Welcome
to the website of the Rieger

in the Christchurch Town Hall,
New Zealand
|

Principal
pipes - the side the audience doesn't see |

Modern
technology helps the organist, with sequencer systems and video monitoring
|

Flexible
tubing connects the front pipes to the wind chests |

Not
Swiss cheese, but the top of one of the wind chests before the pipes
are positioned |

Three
manuals (keyboards) are connected by mechanical (tracker) action to
the divisions of the organ |

Georg
balances on narrow beams while working on the rollerboards |
