The remains of Schnitger’s wind supply: Six wedge bellows and original canals by Schnitger, reconstructed bellow house by Ott

(The organ is normally powered by a blower which by-passes the bellows system. But the bellows are fully operational, to be treaded by one or two persons)

The console in the situation of October 2000. New music board and pedal keyboard, new stop labels, but most of them are in the wrong position below the stop-knobs (a layman’s work, which will be corrected soon)
