This really bugs me :)
How does the Molzer organ have a 32' principal stop, when the photos only show 8' long pipes? There appears to be no way the required hardware could fit.

Hi,
Here's the explanation from Franz Eisenhut:
"We're taking advantage of an acoustic effect. The base tone with with the fifth above creates a "differential tone" which is an octave lower. In the case of the Molzer Organ, the pipes of the 16´ flute row are combined with the 10 2/3´ layer. "
Best,
Paul
