I was in the Cathedral Church of St. Luke in Orlando yesterday for a concert. In addition to the large Tellers organ in the gallery, there is a small free-standing pipe organ in the South aisle. It has two manuals and pedals, and I counted a dozen or sodrawknobs for stops.
In addition to the expression pedal, there were three metal levers to the left of the expression pedal which apparently could be depressed and locked in place.
Any ideas as to their function?
There was no builder nameplate on this little organ.
Those are most likely the couplers, manual-to-manual and manual-to-pedal: II/I, I/Ped, II/Ped. Pushing them down engages them, and locking them in place keeps them engaged.
[quote user="Menschenstimme"]Thank you for those beautiful pictures of the organ, the church, the chandelier, etc. !![/quote]
Not a problem :)
Here's one of the main consoles of the big organ.
This is where they roll the console back over to after concerts. Right to the side of the sanctuary.
One of two facades that flank the choir loft.
Shot of the console from the side pews.
The console is rolled out to the center of the sanctuary for concerts.
