	The Organ
		The type of organ pipe that first comes to mind is that which has an edge with a slit called a flue which directs air from the windchest upon it.
		Since the idea of a rank is to produce a set of pipes with similar tone quality, it has been found to be necessary to scale the diameters in a different way than the lengths.
		In a rank, the diameter of the longest pipe will be 12 to 13 times the diameter of the shortest pipe, while the length has increased by a factor of 32.

	Our Organ Description
		An organ building committee was started in 1995, for the purpose of developing a recommendation for the installation and/or modification of the organ to meet the needs of the new sanctuary and Trinity's ongoing music ministry.
		The contract was to remove the existing Moeller pipe organ, install a new digital console with digital sounds, re-install and re-voice the existing pipework and install additional pipes and a new facade to better accommodate the new sanctuary.
		The largest pipes form the beautiful new facade, which hides the swell shade openings and adds symmetry to the north wall of the nave.

		In both flue and reed pipes, the column of air actually vibrates in many different ways simultaneously, and the often complex mix of these various harmonics or partials determine both the pitch and the rank's characteristic sound or tone color.
		The sound from each pipe is designed and adjusted to blend with all the other pipes in the organ and to give the best possible results in a room.
		The blending of the sounds of many individual pipes into a complex chorus is a key reason for the superiority of pipe organs over electronic organs, which are inherently limited to relatively few loudspeakers from which the sound originates.

	Pipedreams - How a Pipe Organ Works
		Each pipe sits on top of a hollow wind chest that is filled with compressed air provided by a bellows or blower.
		Each 'stop' at the organ console represents a set of pipes (a rank) of a particular tone color, with a different pipe for every note on the keyboard.
		These pallets govern the flow of air to each pipe, and even though a stop may be 'on', no pipes will sound until a key is depressed and its respective pallet opens.
