Narthex

  • Description: The Narthex displays examples of original sculpture on indefinite loan from the Fogg Museum. These pieces are primarily from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries and include both painted and gilded sculptures.

    1. Low wind pressure
    2. All pipes enclosed
    3. Clarity and brilliance in the ensemble, due to harmonic and mixture stops

  • Under "THE CLASSIC ORGAN," it describes the organ installed on the balcony above the Narthex, stating that it closely approximates the tonal design of eighteenth-century German organs and is about the same size as the instrument Bach played for many years at Weimar. Three distinctive features are listed: low wind pressure, all pipes enclosed, and clarity and brilliance due to harmonic and mixture stops.

  • Following this is a "SPECIFICATION" list detailing the organ's stops divided into three sections: Hauptwerke, Positiv, and Pedal, with specific pipes and ranks noted under each.

  • At the bottom, the wind pressure is given as "2 1/2."

There is a page number "2" near the bottom of the page. The book has a cloth hardcover in green, visible on the left side. The content suggests it is a descriptive guide or catalog related to a museum and its musical instrument exhibit.
