Inside Convention Hall. The organ console is at the right side of the stageHere's a closeup view of the organ. The pipes are behind the 4 large arches to the right.The main organ console.Our tour guide next to the console.Some of the wiring behind the right side of the console.Samples of the types of horns and pipes making all the music.Some of the largest pipes.Air pressure in the wooden chambers is released into the metal pipes to make the sounds.Some of the pipes are over 40 feet tall.And some of the pipes are very small. Large amounts of air pressure increase the sound volume.Low voltage electrical signals from the console connect to magnetic relay switches through miles and miles of wires.The concert after the tour left us all with smiles on our faces.
