Facade Pipes Preview!!

There will be 28 pipes in the reredos/facade that we are creating. They range in length from 8 ft up to over 18 ft. Today I received photos of some of them, still at the Schopp plant. They are of flamed copper and I think they are extraordinarily beautiful. 


Don't forget you can click on the photos to see the full-size version.

Some pipe feet.


Four elegant feet.


Four Dulcianas and two Diapasons. They are standing with their feet up.
When installed their feet will be at the bottom as usual.

The tin mouths are of the "Romanesque" style with
a round arch, as opposed to the "Gothic" pointy style.
