The other 24 are dummies and are placed in the manual only to maintain the symmetry of the three manuals together. The pipes of the Echo manual are placed well down in the lower part of the case so that an echo effect of sorts is obtained when they are played. Some of the stops were divided. That is they have
trouble and base registers which can be played separately. The entire organ consists of eighteen hundred and seventy five pipes totally the organ differs from most instruments of its time and geographical location in that there are relatively few 8 foot stops and almost an abundance of mixtures. Fortunately for historical purposes the instrument has been preserved in its original form even to the pitch to which it was filmed. The old pitch standard is used making it one half tone lower than the same note today. Pipes are made either of tin or of an alloy of T and Les. Because of the selection of stops and their voicing the instrument is especially suited to the interpretation of French Italian and Spanish music of the 16th 17th and 18th centuries.
