説明 | The organ in the Tabernacle has the pipes positioned behind the pulpit, and is a very visible and notable part of the Tabernacle. The Tabernacle organ is considered to be one of the finest examples of the American Classic style of organbuilding. The original organ was built by Joseph Ridges who came from Australia. Ridges' instrument was constructed of materials native to the region as much as possible. The pipes of the organ are made of wood, zinc, and various alloys of tin and lead. When it was initially constructed, the organ was powered by hand-pumped bellows; later it was run on water power and today it is electric.Though the organ has been rebuilt and enlarged several times during its 135-year history, the original casework and some of Ridges' pipes still remain in the organ today. The current organ is largely the work of G. Donald Harrison of the former Aeolian-Skinner organ firm. It was completed in the late 1940s. |
