Cathedral organ

Hello friends
Today I present this body
He is located in the cathedral.
He covers the entire wall of the exit of the cathedral.
It was the largest organ in Spain and one of the largest in Europe.
Only comparable to that of Notre-Dame de Paris.
It was built in Azpeitia (Guipúzcoa) in 1953
Placed in 1954
It has five keyboards for the hands and one for the feet.
The tubes are very large, the highest is 10 meters
And the entire coast organ of 9535 tubes that make it reach 106 records.
It also has organ of echoes
But all this you can find if you look a bit online.
I tell you my impression.

I think I will not be able to be impartial.
I like this cathedral very much.
Inside is a wonder that I have been teaching little by little.
The last entrance was the reflections of the stained glass windows.
Today it's time to talk about his organ
He is great.
The organs I like a lot, haha there are many things that I like, but this one in particular.
To see him imposing between majestic roof that the mind of some stonecutter transferred to the stone.
The organ amply fulfills the function assigned to it.

That with him the notes rose through the air to fill the entire cathedral with his music.
Making our bodies feel the basses, the beat of the music.
The feeling and all the chords going through your senses.
Visually what to say.
It imposes its beauty, its large and multiple tubes raised next to each other
355 are made of wood, 1,050 of zinc and 6,769 of tin.
So the colors highlight its beauty.

It is also highlighted at this time by the rays of sunlight that enter through the stained glass windows.
Giving them color and an almost heavenly air.
As if everything together would make this organ what is a special thing.
An instrument of other times.

Almost forgotten in the churches and unfortunately touched on few occasions.
But if you are lucky enough to hear it.
Sit in a bank and enjoy your notes.
