Percussions

    The PERCUSSIONS operate on pneumatic, vacuum and electric action. These stops are all floatting and can be coupled to any manuals separately.

    The Major Chimes are usually referred to as "tower chimes" because they were especially made for outdoor tower-chime playing. The largest chime of this set, Note C, is twelve feet long, five inches in diameter, and weighs 600 pounds. It is struck by a leather-topped hammer four inches in diameter, the stroke of which is nine inches. It weighs eighteen pounds and has an impact of seventy-two pounds of pneumatic pressure. A ses côtés se trouve le Célesta Mustel.

    Une véritable harpe était installée dans l'Echo, mais dut être enlevée pour les problèmes d'accords ! Elle est aujourd'hui remplacée par un xylophone (souvent appelé harpe, notamment dans les orgues de cinéma)

    Les autres percussions se trouvent juste derrière la façade, parmi lesquelles the first piano (piano droit, vaccum action) ever installed in a organ. The Minor Chimes (J.C. Deagan, 1959) remplacent celles d'origine vraisemblablement frappées par un maillet en hêtre.

    En 1959 est aussi ajoutée une série de gongs, provenant d'un orgue de cinéma.

    La Cymbale est un ajout récent, cadeau de Lyn Larsen, célèbre organiste de cinéma. Elle est actionnée par champignon, 2 marteaux frappent alternativement la cymbale tant que le pied est dessus.
