I have nearly 2000 pipes - yes!
I have
nearly 2000 pipes - yes!
But that’s
not enough. There should be at least another
500 more. Sadly I was never finished as the
Abbey didn’t have enough money to pay Mr William, but more was promised.
When I was a
year old - in 1912
- more pipes were given to me and
my third keyboard brought into use. But
I still didn’t have some of the most important sounds which would make sure my
voice is really heard in this lovely large building.
But I am so
proud of all the pipes Mr William made.
The largest is 16’ high, and the smallest about 1/2". Some are
wood, some are metal, and some have a bung in the top to make them sound
deeper.
