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) Source: http://www.schnitgerorgel.de
Pipework of the Oberwerk: In front the Vox humana (Beckerath), behind
the trumpet (darker cups by Schnitger, others by Ott), then Zimbel,
Mixture and so on... New Zimbelstern by Ott Source: http://www.schnitgerorgel.de
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)
