Lovers of organ music re invited to come and watch the making of the metal pipes, the wooden pipes, the wind chests, the console and other parts in the Rieger workshop itself. Experience the problems of placing a large organ in the historic building that resulted in the hanging of the organ from a steel structure above the vaulting. See the voicing of the pipes, and be part of the inaugural service. It is an unique opportunity to watch this fascinating Virtual Organ Display!
