  2. Tubular-pneumatic action - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tubular-pneumatic_action

    The operation of a tubular-pneumatic organ is accomplished by a change of air pressure within lead tubes of about ⁄ in (0.6 cm) inside diameter that connect the organ's console to its windchest. A separate tube is needed for each manual key, pedal key and stop control on the console. A large four manual organ can require over 300 individual ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro-pneumatic_action

    Electro-pneumatic action. The electro-pneumatic action is a control system by the mean of air pressure for pipe organs, whereby air pressure, controlled by an electric current and operated by the keys of an organ console, opens and closes valves within wind chests, allowing the pipes to speak. This system also allows the console to be ...

  4. Pipe organ - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_organ

    The pipe organ is a musical instrument that produces sound by driving pressurised air (called wind) through the organ pipes selected from a keyboard. Because each pipe produces a single pitch, the pipes are provided in sets called ranks, each of which has a common timbre, volume, and construction throughout the keyboard compass.

    The organ's wind supply is the most powerful ever used in a pipe organ. The DC motors for the original eight blowers had a total power of 394 horsepower (294 kW). These were replaced with AC motors in the early 1990s, which have a total of 600 horsepower (450 kW) and their seven blowers pump 36,400 cubic feet (1,030 m 3) of wind per minute. The ...

  7. Barker lever - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barker_lever

    The Barker lever is a pneumatic system which multiplies the force of a finger on the key of a tracker pipe organ. It employs the wind pressure of the organ to inflate small bellows called "pneumatics" to overcome the resistance of the pallets (valves) in the organ's wind-chest. This lever allowed for the development of larger, more powerful ...
