A peek behind the sound curtain
The tour leads into the interior of the organ case and shows how countless pipes, stops, and technical components create an impressive auditory experience. Particularly impressive is the inspection of the large bellows, which as an essential part of the historical organ technique provides the wind for musical sound development.
