24The Riverside Church organ is a good illustration of a modern high grade, large organ. It required over one year to construct this immense instrument at the factory, twenty truckload shipments of the organ parts and about nine months to install. It contains 167 stops, 2900 magnets, 22,000 contacts and the wires, if placed end to end, would extend a distance of over 100 miles.
26The main organ has 127 speaking stops and is divided into Great, Swell, Solo, Echo, Percussion, and Pedal organs. With the exception of the Echo organ these are placed in chambers at each side of the chancel. The auxiliary (antiphonal) organ of 40 stops is divided into great, swell and pedal sections which are installed in chambers on the triforium floor and at each side of the rear gallery. The Echo organ is at the rear of the auditorium in a chamber at an elevation close to the main ceiling from which the tones are reflected.
