Well, the double open diapason on the pedal organ is 32', whatever
that comes out at.

The interval item on the organ renovation mentioned 64' pipes. I didn't
quite feel the earth move but it did sound jolly good to me.

Oh and I never realised before that "The Planets" contains a forearm
cluster
on the organ (ooh err missus).

No it didn't - he played a top G on (I think) the smallest pipe and bottom C
on a 32ft diapason - 32ft being the biggest pipe on any organ - honking at
16Hz. At that frequency you feel it, not hear it and not even DAB will pass
frequencies as low as that!

It certainly does.
