Description
Organist Martin Setchell is dwarfed by the huge façade pipes of the Sydney Town Hall pipe organ. The organ was installed by the English firm of Hill and Son in 1890, and it was then the largest organ in the world, (boasting a full-length 64-foot contra trombone) and is still the largest pipe organ with tubular-pneumatic action ever built. It has 126 stops and 14 couplers on 5 manuals and pedals. There are approximately 8672 pipes.

Excellent image!
Jenny Setchell replied:
Thanks Robert, much appreciated - and it has just sold, which is very gratifying. Surprisingly tricky image to get in order to convey the immense pipes in contrast with the organist.
