These pipes belong to the rank of
pipes called the Flute à Biberon. The paperwork
describes how to assemble and
solder together the various parts
of this pipe.

The Flute à Biberon will produce a
colorful and lovely flute
sound. It has a rounded cap
unlike the flat caps of other
“chimney” style pipes. Biberon is French for baby’s
bottle.

Pilgrim’s new organ will have over 2,030 pipes. This number does not include the rank of English Horn pipes added after the 2,030 figure was calculated.

The rounded end of an organ pipe is called the “toe” and is the bottom end of the pipe. Each pipe’s toe was rounded and shaped by hand.

Hand casting the blocks for the reed
pipes. A reed pipe is called such because at the bottom of the pipe there is a metal reed mechanism. As the air passes over the reed it creates the unique “reedy”
sound of a reed pipe.

A freshly cast reed block. The
reed pipes on Pilgrim’s new organ have names like
Festival Trumpet,
Bassoon, Oboe, Trompette,
Clarinet, and English Horn.

You can see the holes in
this reed block where the parts of
the reed mechanism
and the pipe itself will fit.

Making the reed pipe shallots. They are the structures against which the
metal reed vibrates. The
workman’s hand shows the scale of
these shallots – about the size of
their namesakes in the vegetable
kingdom.

Building an organ is a labor of love that blends science and art to create a balance of form and function. Think of a pipe organ as an example of Gesamtkunstwerk – a total, ideal work of art that makes use of many art forms, skills, and processes.
