Taste of Shropshire

Odd Organ Pictures Puzzle Competition No. 3

Win a CD of "A Taste of Shropshire" by Martin Setchell on the Ludlow Parish Church organ.

Below are six photos of bits of organs.
Only five of the organs, however, are real - the other is a 12th the size - a real miniature! Which one is it?

CLOSED - and the winner is Philip, of Bognor, UK. His was the only correct entry and although there were a good number almost every other picture was chosen by entrants except the right one - apart from Philip. His reasoning for choosing it was interesting and worth reproducing here:

"The answer is in the lack of darkness in the mouths of the pipes, so they're solid. Not that that is necessarily a giveaway, but the style of case means that (as I call it) cold-rolled zinc would be used with those French (cow) mouths. Wooden dummies (which produce that effect of no shade in the mouth) just wouldn't be used in an 8' front which it has to be, given the scale of the mirror over the console." Philip will be getting a much-deserved CD in the mail shortly.

Thanks Philip - and also our thanks to Sarah and Andrew Price, of www.miniaturechurch.co.uk who made the competition possible - and for their extraordinary website and project. Do visit their pages about St Hilary - they are a joy.
