The organ arrives in two containers shipped from England.

This is what is behind those locked doors at the rear of the Parish Hall. Pipework is being readied for placement in the instrument for final voicing. Choirmaster Brad Hughley aligns pipework for the Great Mixture. Ed Stauff works on pipes in the workshop. Ed and Manuel Rosales confer on pipe voicing.

Ed works inside the organ case installing the pipework on the second level.

These pedal division pipes are already in place.

These are more pedal reed pipes on the first level.

More of the pipe ranks. The empty racks are awaiting their pipes.

Looking down from level two to level one.

These are the wooden trackers that run from the various keys to the various pipes.

Another view of the trackers as they ascend from level one to level two.

Another view of the trackers. When a key is depressed, these trackers pull open a valve at the bottom of a pipe, allowing it to speak.

With the music rack removed, you can see through the trackers that run from the keydesk to the pipework at the rear of the instrument.
