The Recent Revolution in Organ Building: Being an Account of Modern Developments
John Stuart Mill · en
Referring to the view of the hall on page 167, the Great organ is in
the chamber behind the pipes seen in the upper gallery. The Swell and
Solo organs are in the attic above, and the sound of these can be made
distant by shutting the Swell shutters, or brought near by opening
them. The pedal pipes are put upside down so that their open ends may
be toward the music room.
