Playing condition

Before I began to dissassemble the organ I wanted to document the playing condition.

Here is a table of the ability of the individual notes to sound. The notes are numbered with the lowest C being C1 and the highest being C5. Middle C is C3.

Treble
Vox jubilate: C3 - F5, except for E5.
Flute: C3 - F5, except for C4, Eflat4, E4, F4, Bflat4, D5,F5
Diapason C3 - F5, except for Eflat4, C#5 and E5

Bass
Violetta F0 - B2, except for A2
Viola F0 - B2
Melodia F0 - B2
Subbass C1 - C2

The Harmonic stop doubles at the octave. Vox humana has no impact as the fan device does not turn. The I and II forte make no impact.

In beginning the project I noticed a knees activated lever fro crescendo effects. I had read about this but did not relaize that my organ had the feature. I will explore it in my next time there.




The bellows decay - the time it takes for the organ to cease sounding after stopping pedalling is 2 seconds.
