Rank of Organ Pipes: OPEN METAL FLUTE, 8ft
Full compass, 61 pipes
An interesting rank of pipes and not to everyone’s taste, but well-made and of some interest
The bottom Octave is stopped wood, standing on 2 pneumatic chests (6 pipes each) which lived at either end of the Great soundboard. One of these is shown on the 4th photo.
The rest of the rank (which stood on the main soundboard) is of thick plain pipe-metal with tuning slides, and upper lips covered with very thin leather.; The scale is quite narrow
The pipes came from the organ of a Yorkshire Methodist Church, which was rebuilt by Fitton and Hayey many decades ago. But the original builder is a mystery. It does have Binns bellows weights, so Binns is a possibility.My details are on the final photo, should you wish to contact me with questions. I have quite a large number of ranks of pipes going through my hands at the moment. Do feel free to call me if you have any requests for pipework (details on final photo)
These pipes have to be collected by the purchaser – Long and heavy. For buyers in the Midland and the South, I am intending travelling in the next few months to Dorset, Oxfordshire, Warwickshire etc, so could arrange to bring these pipes.
Just a footnote: I do get quite a few requests from private contacts outside Ebay. If one of these wants to buy any of my listed ranks of pipes, I would take them off Ebay during a listing and sell them privately. Once a bid has been placed however, I will always leave the listing to run its course. The moral of the story? – If you want an item, place a bid on it sooner rather than at the last minute.
